Hi,

Been a while since i jump on this forum, quite busy lately with

work... now that I'm shopping around for PFC tuning cost

around Melb... got a question...

Has anyone here got their PFC tuned by Chasers before?

Either by Benny or whoever else who works there...

Preferrably input from those RB owners.... but any other

car PFC result is welcome...

Thank.s

Ok, everyone has their favourite tuner.:D ... and lol everyones tuner is the best:)

The past 2 months, my car on its current tune, with between 15psi and 18psi on a completely std internal engine has done Sprints at Phillip Island, Sandown and Winton, its done a night at the drags, a day at the drifts at Calder and the engine, tune hasnt missed a beat. And its done a hell of a lot of driving with work since they now know its back on the road proper:(

And Sandown was a 36 degree morning where i was running 18psi and 234rwkws...no pinging, car ran STRONG:) Then it rained so the poor engine was having to put up with big rev spikes with wheelspin as its hero driver was trying to punt it in the wet:whackit:

And on the way to Dimboola and back on the weekend was at 440kms when i stopped at Horsham on the way back for fuel, as i wasnt sure if id make Ballarat. So highway driving id get over 500kms per tank, city it gets to about 400kms before the light comes on.:)

They are the reasons why id be going to Racepace, other may be good, but im comfortable when im at the track and temps start climbing the tune is nice and flexible and can handle hot ambient temps and 103 deg C water temps

103 degrees... pft soft mate.

I agree with Roy - I had my GTR tuned at Racepace and the car doesn't ping, is efficent (as far as it can be) and stood up well at Sandown on the same day as Roy went out... my issues were unrelated to the tune, rather the hot weather and poor cooling.

i had mine tuned at chasers. $350. the tune was ok i guess, made a bit more power. massive knock in top of 3rd 4th 5th. over 100 a lot of the times. they dont have a dyno (working yet) so they cant tune it, they just take it to protek to get it tuned and let them do the work. they also lost me keys (no big drama). i had to take it to ice peformance after that to get the knock fixed and have a retune

What's the problem?

in all honesty i do not know thats y i'm taking it there. Whenever the car creeps above .5 bar it spits and bubbles like crazy. I am guessing too wide a gap sparkies or coil packs. or knock sensor or something, hopefully not too serious. I'm praying its not too serious.

That was when Dom from Pro-Tek tuned there cars, they are now all tuned by Paul from Motec

It's not about how much time you have, it's about how much dedication you have.  Ice worked on my car till 5am on Sat morning and moved the car in at 8:30 in the morning.

And look at the results.

That is dedication...

Sorry to say david they dont put that much effort into everyones car like they do to yours...

    • I thought that might be the case, thats what I'll start saving for. Thanks for the info 
    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
    • My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
    • There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.
