If you only want 10 to 20 kws & not 300rwkw, a good tuner will help you with a few tweeks of the computer. 10 to 20 is a snack for these cars, & will make them drive even better than they do now. If your in Sydney Autotech at Granville is the place to go. Tell them exactly what you want & they'll be able to fix you up. I dont know what they charge, but its not that expencive as your not replacing exhausts and the like..

Cheers all about the above, some food for thought for my new ride

yet the 1100 sounds low!
i'm gettin a capa flash and dyno tune tomorrow for 1400...... and i thought that was cheap!?

The F6 runs on 9psi but only makes that at a low 2500rpm, by 5500rpm its only running on 6psi.

The edit makes 8psi at 2000rpm and is still making 8psi or a little more at 5500rpm. Same goes for the 10psi, only it takes until 3500rpm to build 10psi with stock induction and exhaust system.

You have basically double the boost up top with edit, and 30% more than the F6 at the same speed. Cool huh?


Hey Yoot, can explain to the dumb at heart how this is acheived.
What is done to make the boost stay at the same psi instead of losing the plot in the stock rock?

PS how do you get the quote windows?????

Hit reply w/quote in the bottom corner of each post like this one.

Its achieved by editing the ECU and changing what the computer tells the engine to do. The ECU operates all sorts of solenoids and measures all sorts of sensors and meters and takes all that data and combines it with the drivers inputs and determines how to run the engine (fuel, spark, boost etc.)

When you change those values to make more power and torque, you change the table that the ECU refers to when it recieves driver input and sensor input from around the engine, and therefore change how the engine responds.

For you, you can go and get your car tuned with the edit and have the boost raised by telling the ECU that it is to try and maintin 8psi of boost across the range, and also, you have to change how much fuel it should pour in to maintain correct air fuel ratios, and also adjust spark timing for loaded and unload engine conditions (which prevents pinging and provides power).

Because each engine is different, the settings and values used on your car will differ from that of another car. Thus it is important to have a tune best suited to your engine. You might make the same power output as another car, but have vastly different tables of values in your ECU to to it. As opposed to the factory settings which have more headroom for variations and help each car make the same output. It also responds to changes in fuel octane rating as well.

Made the most sense out of any thread on this forum.
Picking up my T next week, did you see me ask about the intercooler, will I need a better one in Brisbane's hot weather????

Hey all Brissy guys~!
Where's the best (& cheapest) place to have your car tuned like a ROCKET (60kw or more) in Brisvegas? And ruffly how much will it cost?

Also, does tuning void the factory warranty?
