It sounds a bit expensive then what every one else has said but they did tune the car all day as he was ringing me as he did it. so for all the time and the end result i think it was worth it.

Cheap tunes arent always good tunes, my last tune cost me about $8k in a rebuild so-far

Just got mine fitted and tuned at Autotech recently.

Paid around 700+ for the tuning alone (my first tune)

Very happy with the results but not perfect as somehow something is making the boost controller not holding boost.

thanx now i got a price to work with!!

Charged: $100

Mods: FMIC, 3" Turbo Back Exhaust, PFC, RB30DET.

Tuned By: Shaun @ Boostworx in Adelaide, SA

Time Taken: 1hr (I Hung Around)

Comments: Very happy, The 3ltr only 'just' ran on the stock RB20DET 2ltr PFC base map. Very good tune for bugger all bills.

The tune was 90% wot tuning with a few little light load adjustments.

It made 176rwkw with the stock RB20DET turbo running 9psi @ 4400rpm-4950rpm, power drops off rapidly after this rpm.

I've reached the limit of the stock rb20 turbo and injectors as they are hitting 100%.

I will be installing injectors and a larger turbo soon, I've been told the tune will cost $200-$300 as he will have to completely go over the light load map. This is what takes time, not the WOT.

3. Where u did it - SouthCoast Rotary Performance (in Woollongong, NSW)

4. How long it took - About 4 hours

5. Comments - Excellent tune for the money, being a rotary tuner he knows how to set a good ignition map before taking the fuel out. Engine makes good power, with zero knock. Also spent some time on light load, to improve economy.

    • A group of friends hired the local drag strip off season, cold weather and no prep means it was super slippery but still allowed for a fun day of 1/8th mile (no ambo meant we couldn't do side by side 1/4) roll racing and Dragy runs.   The wee BMW didn't embarrass itself at all considering the 2WD group I was competing in had a couple of supercharged V8s (an LSA and a blown LS2), a 600kw M135i, a 500kw R32 GTS-t and some other spicy things - I actually ended up beating the blown LS2 & 600kw M135i heads up in roll races and faced the GTS-t in the final, losing by just over a carlength which is far more than I was counting on with a very mildly tinkered with M135i.   For transparency sake this was EVERYTHING to do with being a fairly short distance on a shit track and having something without any lag and a brilliant gearbox, on a prepped track or a full 1/4 I'd have been destroyed. I did do a single sneaky full (well actually turns out I hit the brakes 10 or so metres early) 1/4 mile Dragy run and hit 12.88 @ 109mph on the brakes which is precariously close to my PB in my old GT30R GTS25t that ran 12.6 @ 111mph on Hoosiers  Pretty damn stoked with that considering I had a single attempt, and despite seeming well suited to the conditions vs the higher power cars and the time slip not looking THAT bad I still was having to work hard to not just do a rolling burnout <100kph and doesn't really show it's best at all.  I am pretty sure it would happily match the old R33 with a full run on a better surface
    • Thanks! Shame you got rid of yours. Guys are getting insane power out of them with the newer turbos these days instead of the venerable K04. Just jumped on Carsales and realised that my old Flog is considered low mileage due to it being parked up for close to a decade.
    • I love this. I still have a special place in my heart for Mk4's. 
    • Yep, don't play much so I'd possibly catch it in the weekend.
