I know Dave from Nizpro has travelled interstate before for customers (I think this was to tune one of our fellow members cars following the fitting of a stage II kit).

I suspect that there might be some light on the horizon for those interstate however...

My understanding is that Nizpro are planning to organise a tuner training program that meets CAPA's approval.  This is currently being planning, and is likely to be scheduled for as early as next month.

The idea of this is to provide other tuners the benefit of some of Nizpros considerable experience, and provide a 'how to' bible for tuning XR6T's according to Nizpro.  :pooh:

To be honest I am surprised that Nizpro are prepared to share this knowledge but this can only be good for those of you who are not happy with the capability of your local trainer.  Of course you would need you trainer to fork out the money and take the couple of days to attend.  :pooh:  Whilst there is no substitute for the experience these guys have, it should help considerably for those shops with less edit experience, and be the basis for better support for these tuners to provide all of us consumers with a better finished product.

I am sure Simon will be posting up details on the Nizpro forum in due course (when all is finalised).

Of course if you want to have a great excuse for a huge and fun weekend BVWEII is not so far away as others have already said - and then you can have your car tuned by the best directly!!!!!  :spoton:

Cheers,  :pooh:

Ben.

That a nice gesture of Simon at Nizpro to share his vast experience!

I go to Jim at Tunehouse http://www.tunehouse.com.au/

My car was running crap from another Sydney tuner and Jim fixed up all my issues. I'm still running 10psi, making 273RWKW and a nice 45RWKW gain down low, my fuel economy has improved and I could not be happier, we might push a few pounds of boost and get it to 300RWKW as I want that magic number

I dont think this is such a great result.I'm sure the car is great to drive but I have seen this sort of figures from stock cars tuned by nizpro(manual 271rwkw-auto255rwkw)with edit only.you have all these other mods for 20kw?

Out of all the places mentioned so far in Sydney...

(Especially when it comes to tuning prowess, well established business, top shelf customer service and quality products)

Aren't we forgetting to mention someone?

Im not sure of the tuning prowess of Mr S from AT with the CAPA flash?? But his customer service and honesty is second to none, his Unichip skills are absolutely brilliant as well, I had my XR6T custom tuned with the unichip and it ran beautifully 223RWKW, I have since sold the unichip and got the CAPA Flash with default tunes and the custom unichip craps all over it. I Have experienced both within the last 2 weeks on my car, I am just figuring out now where to have the CAPA custom tune done and would love to tkae it to him.

On another note, The capa Flash standard 10PSI tune feels like absolute fluff below 3000rpm then ramps up nicely but feels very up and down like having 20 flat spots from 3000rpm to 6000rpm , but it did fix my stalling problem!!

Be interested to know what others have experienced with the standard capa tune.

I think there have been a few pleased with the std Capa tunes - many pleased with custom tunes.

Some great comments here.

First of all to address jp300+, I would have had Jim tune the car but I just couldn't wait until he was ready. He told me it would take him a few weeks before he could do it, and it seems he needed the car for multiple days. As my car is my daily driver, that just was not feasable.

Freddy, I am dying to see what your car runs!!

Also, I think it would be awesome for some of the tuners in Melbourne to spread their wealth of knowlegde using edit. The tuners here just don't have the same amount of experience using it, but I'm sure they will eventually.

On another note:

Tonight I ran a new pb of 12.714@111.97. My other runs were 2x 12.8's and a 12.9 and funny enough my best 60ft was on the 12.9 run! (2.095) :msm: I really doubt that I truly have 273rwkw with these times.

Oh well, already spoke to HPF today. 11 weeks for 11's!! :fool:

fill,  Guys and fellow rev heads ....

I feel the pain but there is some light at the end of the tunnel.  Jim at Tunehouse (SYDNEY) has done the work to my car and I am very happy.  The car is running as economical as a stocker and has run a 12.2 sec quarter ... power level is whatever you guys can calculate,estimate, whatever...

I have got to hand it to you fill, you have stuck to your guns and put the effort inat WSID but you did not give Jim a chance to tune the car.

I will let you know when I am heading out there ...

When you say the power level is whatever we can estimate, what does this mean. What power did Jim tell you that the car had? What sort of dyno does Tunehouse use?

Geea. :fart:

Ah Huh!!!

I knew I could count on someone else saying it! Cheers :fart:

Can't answer that from first hand experience, still happily running the Unihip with Injectors and showing 250.9 rwkw on the dyno, from what I remember of Mr.S saying was that the standard tunes in the CAPA Flasher, if obtained through him will be altered, by Mr.S to make them generically safer, consistent and without the known problems to date, again, I could be wrong, but hey...give him a call.

Geea,

Jim from Tunehouse is running a rather unique Dyno setup, have you heard of 'Dynapaks' or something to that effect? instead of the roll-on-roll-off type this setup incorporates a linked system where an individual module is mounted onto the wheels hub (wheel removed)

I'd only ever seen this unit in an old High Octane DVD, until checking out the Tunehouse Workshop.

Isn't it true that Hub dyno's read around 15-20ish kw higher than a roller dyno?(Not that inter-dyno results are really comparable anyway! :fart: )

MRT use one of these aswell I think...
