Price Guide - Pfc Tuning

[ricknismo]

Can anyone in qld get me a better price????

[R3LOAD]

Does Hiitman in Penrith have a website or anything? I'm looking into a dyno tune soon and i heard he's pretty good.

[R32_GTS-4]

im getting all my work done there in a few weeks, rebuilt turbo, installing my intercooler, installing my power fc, installing my avcr and all tuned )

they are top guys and thus far would HIGHLY reccommend them !!!

they are very good with the prices too, he guy doing the computer side of things (installing fc and avcr plus tuning from scratch)told me ill get change out of $800, the intercooler is costing me $500 to install and my turbo all up including rebuild is costing $2100...

i may be wrong, but im pretty stoked with these prices, please correct me if im wrong???

Try Mercury, if you are a SAu QLD member you'll get a discount too.

mercury quoted $1000

[siksII]

and i bet u when u ask them how long a tune that will be for they will say all day (yeah right, i have seen a few 'all day tunes')

[ricknismo]

they said about 4 hours then maybe another 1 for cam gears, thats a damn good hourly rate.

Thinkin about doing a tuning course, costs about 1 g and I could charge others hehe

sounds good, where is this tuning course?

most places charge between 130-150(MAX) per hour to tune in nsw anyway, so a 4 hour tune would be generally around 550 and with cam gears say 700 and thats at the most... so 1000 for a tune should get u more than 4 hours if that is the tune that was quoted for $1000.

Well there is always Matty Spry, (do a search in the qld section for his number, he's on the Gold Coast). But again he is not cheap.

I have heard from lots of people that Matty really knows what he's doing. Also I have spoked with heaps of people who have had their car dyno tuned at MM, and none report anything bad.

I had my old r33 tuned there and was more than happy with the outcome, wasnt a PFC tune though, just a SAFC, but was worth it alone just for the petrol consumption saving!!

[justin911]

my tuner did a max power tune for about $200..

pretty good considering most places charge $500 for that

When I go back to get the fuel eco fixed should only take an hour or so aparantly..

So should only cost an extra $120-150 for the dyno time..

[R3LOAD]

Had my PFC installed and then dyno tuned by the Hitman. All up $500, took 2 hours to do.

Really good guy and really good service, even drove us down to the shops and back for lunch!

thats the problem with us up here in QLD everything is double the price of elsewhere, i got a rough idea to tune my safc at stafford tune and he was talkin around the $1100 mark

[paulr33]

1100 is a joke

$1100 to tune an SAFC ??? !!!!

Surely you must have made a mistake?

An SAFC tune would take about 1hr and we charge approx $150.

You could just about ship the car to WA and back for the price....

That has GOT to be incorrect with the pricing

$1100..jesus !

We are living in the wrong state.

[degeko]

thats qld for ya, rip-off capital, well they are still trying to sell rb20det motors for $3000 which is overpriced

4. How long it took

dont know was not there

5. Comments

i am extremely happy, i have waited a long time to get a retune due to several circumstances....

the car was tuned somewhere else with the same mods previously, as was lacking power and running extremely rich. when i took it to unigroup they ran it without any changes and it pulled 155rwkw, when finished tuning peak power was 186rwkw,

the car was making more and more power over the previous tune from 3500rpm and upwards, and the range of producing power was moved from a max 6500rpm to approx 6900rpm so now pulls nearly to the redline instead of dying off.

peak power was at approx 9psi, boost was 10psi dropping to 9-9.5psi higher in the revs.

3. Where u did it

4. How long it took

Dropped the car off at 9am, picked it up all ready to go at 5pm on the same day

5. Comments

Im happy with it. Very smooth all to redline. I was pretty desperate for a tune during my annual leave and Unigroup were more than happy to help. Fit me in on short notice and did everything all in one day.

Prices were very good as well for a cam gear install + tune. He said normally they might charge more, but they still charged me the orignal quoted price.

Yavuz was good at explaining what they did and what might need looking at in the future.

In the end, the car made 206rwkw on a very hot day in sydney

Will happily go back for any other mods in the future

[GOR33]

i got a few quotes 2day for u qlders, they all said 200 an hr, and around 3 to 4 hrs to do it

how the f**k its takes sumone 4 hrs to tune a car has got me f**ked but anyway.

my mate told me today that he was speaking to a guy that got his car tuned at mecury, they fitted a fuel pump for him that didnt quite fit, so they beated out the tank to make it fit....... nice one boys!!!

4. How long it took

Dropped the car off at 7am, picked it up all ready to go at 5pm on the next day (had the car on the second day for cold start)

5. Comments

The car is 100 times better, idles smooth, does not run rich, better fuel economy. The car is on a very safe tune as standard cooler and turbo. Also can run air con without hiccups that were occuring before.

160rwkw on 10psi, well 9 if you measure it at peak power...massive improvement in the low and mid range as well.

Now its just som etim eot turn up the wick after and FMIC!!!
