  1. Ranuip, I know you can pick up the Pulley kit itself, with the belts and all for about 290-300. + About, $20 bucks delivery. And I got quoted $100 bucks cash to get it fitted. Thanks.
  2. Well, Hi Torque performance on the goldcoast, want 1350 to tune my n/a.. that includes a flash tuner. (700 without flashtuner) Jamie wants 900 cash with no flash tuner. Paramount Performance wants 1200 no flash tuner, and ive read heaps of people getting tunes for only 500-700 bucks. It just seems like im getting ripped off in toowoomba? And now im considering to go to high torque to get a flash tuner. $900 for no flash tuner or just pay an extra 450?, and I mean.. this is kinda stupid, but I had a thing about it.. what if say my ecu resets or something and I loose my tune? Just feels more safe having a flash tuner, so I always have my tune there incase anything happens. And lol, I dont even know if the tune gets rid of the ecu resets by the way, just seems like flash tuner would be safer.
  3. Hey guys, does anyone know any good dyno tuning places for a BA N/a Xr6 around the gold coast area? I know of Hi-Torque, but there I want somewhere where I can get it done without a flash tuner, as I got told on a N/A I dont really need one. Or do I? But yeah, good tune, but at a nice price? Cheers.
  4. Yeah, well I cant wait for this wednesday's tune :D
  5. Yeah, well that was from 95 Octane. When I got my car dyno'd.. it was on 91.. lol. Hopefully get a good 156-158rwkw just of 98 alone. :D
  6. Also, just had a little look on wiki about the 'Barra 182' motor, it says.. "More power and torque can be obtained using higher octane fuels, though such figures have never been officially told, close to 199 kW is possible when running Barra182 on RON98 petrol, 402Nm of torque is achievable too" What do you think of that? Obviously every engine is not the same, but an extra 17kw at the motor, so say roughly that at the wheels.. just on 98? Reckon is a load of bulls**t? The guy at Forced Performance tuning said you'd only gain about 2-4rwkw of 98.. Compared to 95 anyway.
  7. Yeah, United on west is the one im close too.
  8. Yeah, I guess ill just get it tuned on 98. United is getting bigger, but there is always bound to be a BP around somewhere, or a caltex. And man, toowoomba has like old servo's man, some look dodgy as, I dont even think a second about turning in and filling up, just due to how they look on the outside.. lol. Presensation is everything I guess
  9. Yeah, just gonna get it tuned on 98 octane. In toowoomba, there is alot of crappy survo's.. like they are a locally owned place.. and weather they have 98 or not.. Not going there, ill stay with caltex and BP.
  10. Okay, ive just found out.. that 100 octane is actually 10% ethanol. So where does that leave me now? 98.
  11. Hey guys, sorry I keep making new threads.. Just so much to learn and ask! Next week, I am getting a custom tune at Forced Performance and Tuning in Toowoomba. Now I used to fill up at the BP down the road, and I ran 98 octane 99% of the time.. I have recently moved, and my closet petrol station is a united. They only have ULP91, ULP95 with 10% Ethanol, and 100 Octane fuel. Im not sure what I should run through it, should I keep visiting the BP and putting 98 in her? Or is the 100 Octane fine at United.. Ive always seen BP to just have better quality fuel, and always know its good there. But this 100 octane stuff, could it be just as good? And before I get my tune, heard a couple of rumours that if I change my oil to 5w/30 Syn Castrol edge oil.. That it will give me a little gain(5rwhp), and is 100% better for my car? Just want to make sure my car is ready for the tune, and not going to have to pay another $900 Dollars for a tune. Kind regards. Bailey.
  12. What were you running previous of the Tenth? are we talking like 14.5 to 14.3 or like, a turbo'd vehicle running 12.3 to 12.2?
  13. Im only my P's otherwise I'd have boost for sure! Im doing this obviously for more power, but then when that D%^kHead VN 5L Late model camira comes up next to you, and you smoke him.. 'Ive only got a 6 mate'. It'll be a good feeling, muhahaha.
