[angel21]

Shouldn't be too bad, will let you know tuesday night

John's a good guy and knows what he is doing so i don't mind as long as it is reasonable.

[mr_rbman]

so who's working at turbo tune now? just the son?

[angel21]

MIchael and David are working at Turbo Tune.

[Nozila]

assuming that you've been there by now what is your experience and opinon of this new whorkshop.

[angel21]

I had a service and the rocker cover gasket replaced and some other minor stuff cost just under 400, but very happy with service

[GFXman]

John knows his shit. I take my car to him for servicing etc and wouldn't hesitate recommending him to anyone

[Cubes]

I spoke to John a while back when he was at Turbo tune.

He doesn't like tuning PowerFC's via the handcontroller.

He told me to get an Autotronic, For the price of the Autotronic I could have bought 2 PFC's.

[Bl4cK32]

he will do a good job

:bahaha:

[Nozila]

someones had bad experience.

[angel21]

As i said i have never had any problems, doesn't mean everything works out every time. My bf is getting a sh*t load of stuff done in the coming weeks. see how it all goes he should have a pretty awesome car after that..... Make me want to mod mine

[jager]

i have to agree with bl4ck32

good job ...meh i'd like to see that

from john i asked for him due being reccomend to get him to work on my car, lets just say my dads a mechanic as well and work was needed after john touched the car

[SR910]

john is good me built and tuned my 650 hp sr

on the power fc thing, they are still a pain to tune with the hand controller, so if he doesnt want to do it who cares, he sticks to what he thinks is the best. Needless to say power fc has many advantages and has its place but for all out motec/autronic standalone is supreme

[Cubes]

I agree with you SR910,

John has simply been spoilt by the use of laptops.

[SR910]

i mean even i want a power fc, for my pulsar, just the ease of instillation and just unplug if you want to eturn it to stock is very good, just tedious to tune, got to weigh up the good and bad see what you want really.

[Cubes]

But in all honesty the tuning isn't tedious.

Not quite as nice as the autolearn afr feature of the autotronic but none the less still very easy to adjust settings.

Some one who knows their way around the pfc can easily get a complete tune done in 2hrs.

As I said.. Johns simply been spoilt by being able to put his foot down and have the ecu adjust settings on its own.

The price of an ecu to match the powerfc specs is rather expensive.

i.e

6 injector sequential drivers

6 coil drivers

o2 closed loop

knock sensor utilization

Light/moderate load ign and fuel maps already setup.

The only real down side is

No data logging (unless you have the pfc software that is now available)

Heavy and WOT ign/fuel maps need adusting

If John were to purchase the PowerFC software, Datalogit from memory I'm sure he would pick up a lot of pfc customers.

At least now if you get a tune you know John is doing it, not one of the younger inexperienced boys.

Please dont come on here and recommend him for doing top service, as you have said your dad knows him. Its not like the rest of us would get the same sevice from him, or any of his staff....

Mates rates, and knowing someone dont mean jack sheit to the rest of us....

[SR910]

he doesnt use that auto tune stuff, well i dont have it on my computer.

that auto tune is a extra option u have to buy.

but also if you go aftermarket you get say

nitrous control

air temp compensation

anti lag

rotational idel etc
