Hey guys,

 

 

I am looking for a good dyno tuner, preferably on the Gold Coast to tune my Haltech PS1000. I am not keen on going to Matty at PITS. Anyone have any sugestions?

Otherwize I think I will go to Next Up performance in brisbane.

 

Cheers, Mike

Try C and J Motorsports at Kingston. They do heaps of different rally and track cars. My VR4 is excellent, 174 kw atw, 325nm torque atw.

Bil and Kelvin know their stuff.

Cheers

How come you not keen on Matty?

My car always goes to him, I've got the old Haltec E6X an even with that old bit of kit he got it to start an run like factory, it sits for months at a time sometimes an still starts first pop everytime.

 

On a side note I'm only making about 220kw an ran a 11.1 at jambo this year, not huge power but it makes it work.

 

That's my 2 cents

Hey, I called him and he really didnt seem interested in working on my car. Almost sounded like he was hinting that I was wasting my time and money on a "van"

I probably am, but I love the RVR haha

While Matty is good at what he does he did my car he's really more a Nissan guy.

Locally the ones I know of are top rpm, hi torque, Matty, john wood (tunes using some else's dyno)

Too rpm quoted me 800 to tune then each subsequent visit is heavily discounted. For my next tune I'm thinking of going to next up

Hey man, Yea I am thinking of just going to Next Up or top RPM

[Parabola]

To give you a rough ball park figure, John @ next up charged me $900 for my tune.

Dont take it to hart he is a busy man. As for him being a Nissan man???? I know of several 4gs he has tuned one of which is a 7 second pro car he knows his shit with them, I've had mine tuned at 2 other places prior to Matty an will NEVER go anywhere but the pits.

 

He is not cheap, always busy that tells you something.

Hey, yea man, he quoted me 700-900 for mine, so im planning on it being the full 900 just to cover myself

Only a 11.1  ... Yeah that sounds pretty boring

Yea I know right!!!! I would be happy with a 1 minute 11 haha

I know that vehicle I have my own workshop just up the road from them most of the 4g's he's tuned are for the same mob I'm not debating he knows his stuff and he's done plenty of 4g motors he got my odd ball engine running on the first turn of the key (after we actually got power to the ecu) to be able to take an engine you've never seen before and make 3 tweaks to one of your own tunes and have it fire on the very first time the ecu has been powered takes a special.

My point is he has his favourites he also tends to quote harsh and stick to it until he knows you and the car. I suspect that's his way of filtering customers who may give him trouble.

Again to reiterate Matty is an awesome tuner who gives you no bullshit. He was straight up about what was happening with my car (severe misfiring) yet still managed 160awkw from a 1.8l most would have given up.

Haha yea I usually take a cut lunch for the trip

Have you run it at all?

Why would you bother going anywhere else then?

[Hyper_Mike]

Not yet man, after the headwork and tune I will

[htgsr]

Prepare to become addicted, I had no interest in it till I was semi forced into doing Jambo last year, dirt track is awesome as well which is just past the drag strip at qr.

[leadfoot]

because he made it quite clear he's not a trouble shooter if i can't find the spark issue i will have to go elsewhere to have it diagnosed and sorted out (next up have offered this service) once i know the car is running exactly right it'll most definitely be going back to matty to extract the best possible from it. until then there is no point me going in booking hours at a time wasting his time and my money chasing numbers and power without first sorting the issues.

right now the only way i can replicate the issue he had on the dyno is at the drag strip which is a real challenge to get out to and not an ideal setting to be trying to trouble shoot items

That's why they call it 'Test and Tune'

 

You don't have to run 10sec out of the box to prove yourself.

[Benzo4gT]

I'm going to tune mine myself with ECMlink, I have a stocker in atm so i'll throw 1000cc inj and 25g at it and experiment on it before the forged engine goes in........Mwahahaha.

 

Butt dyno and test and tune for me! $900 can go towards a HX35/HX40 or nitrous when I get bored.
