Rwkw Estimation

[Blowute]

Didnt leave til 7. I think he did about 5 seperate runs on the dyno.

man that's sh*t I havnt heard abything worse than that on this forum ever..ill go back 2morrow morning and get them to f*cking tune the f***n car and not f***n leave until your happy, they were the ones saying 280kwrw min then do it...that's fu*ked and sorry about the abusive language but that's pathetic

[F6 UTE]

What was the initial run up?? as in, what did it make stock, or before they touched it??

[Blowute]

Car made 192rwkw stock. Now 258. Torque 704nm

[jetute]

Well im not real happy with how today went!

258rwkw! What the f@ck

Am I right in saying poor effort? that's how I feel!

I turn up at 530 to pick the car up, to find thew car just getting strapped to the dyno to get started. Fair enough I thought, they seem to be flat out, a little pissed off though, considering I booked it in a week prior.

Next I get told that they couldnt do the tranzmax z because they dont have a pump to drain all of the oil from the box, but they can give me a number of someone else that could do it.. Gee thanks alot!

Now the heart breaker, grand total of 258 rwkw

I tell them "there are people pulling more than this with edit alone, whats with mine?

They say "Ah well your exhaust would be a restriction, it is an auto plus the stall converter losing numbers"

Not happy at all. I feel as though theyv left mine as a last minute rush job, not interested in the work just pushing it through.

258rwkw?? you should get that wit edit alone... I thinks there is something else a miss that we have not been told about??.

How does the 258rwkw feel though? (forgetting about the number) Is it a dramatic feeling to the stock? Does it put a smile on your face or you expected more in terms of how it would perform?

Nesh

mate, 258rwkw is gonna feel good to him, considering its his first mods, but he won't be able to tell if its closer to 300rwkw or not. I had edit first, and got 250rwkw with edit only and CAI. And damn, it felt awesome! THEN, I did the rest and ended up with 304rwkw... and I thought 250 felt good?? I was blown away by the 304.

Even 250 is a dramatic feeling comparing to stock. But 300 is a dramatic feeling to 250, so 300 would be a f*cking massive difference to stock... he'd know about it if it was closer to 300.

Blowute, graphs would be good. Or if you can't post up, a quick run down on boost, afrs etc will also help.

But I think it should have done alot better then 258rwkw... perhaps they forgot to dial in more boost

All the graph shows is a power curve, no afr's or boost or even torque. He told me it was 13 psi which bled back down to 10. It says 704nm at 84km/h, 258kw at148km/h and Motive force -1978Lb @82km/h. I think he was surprised at the power to but said thatd be the torque converter. When I asked what would be holding it back, they said exhaust.

if the cat is gutted, I can't see it being an exhaust problem. unless its blocked up somehow.

I'd be taking it elsewhere and seeing what they get out of it. It's a real pain in the ass though, it should be done correctly the first time, or they should at least try and rectify it. If any of my tunes have a problem, my tuner sorts it out asap.

you've basically got the same mods as me, except you have valve springs and surge tank, perhaps give Simon (xtreme) a call and see how much he'll do you a mail order tune for... then take it back to powertorque and put it on the dyno and watch their faces with those mods, I got no doubt one of the reputable tuners on the forum would see 300++ and if there was a problem, they'd help sort it out.

Thanks mate I might try an organise something like that. I really dont think I got $500 worth of tuning from them.

[Trough Lolly]

mate id be back in there telling them you want a free re-tune or youll get anutha tuner to do it and send them the bill!!

that's pathetic your mods should pull ATLEAST 290kw. id expect 310ish.

do yourself a favour and get that wastegate done.. its gunna hold you back heaps. (even so, I hit 302rwkw with stock squirters and springs and wastegate)
