TRYME

Not really hey maybe 5-6hrs a night... I'm semi retired now so to much free time

That's surprisingly Impressive awesome car man!!,, when I had my R34 GTR was running about 650awkw broke things a few times... It also broke my heart when I saw how much they are worth now 😂😂😂... but tbh between us haha I reckon the Barra is a better motor the RB kills it for sound but In every other aspect give me a Barra

Nothing wrong with Ryobi for home/light trade use..... there stuff has gotten heaps better

Hey puff with all the power you run have you ever broken anything in the front end?

Currently going through an engine build for big power... but current tune was 403rwkw on a factory FG F6 motor with just valve springs and retainers... gtx3582 gen 1 I think around 20-21 psi

I've had full sets of Bosch, Makita and Milwaukee -- Bosch were my favourite but the other two are great as well can't go wrong with any of those 3

You misinterpreted what I said if your car has identical/ very similar mods to another car I guarantee the tuner has copy and pasted another tune done to a car with same/similar mods and then tweaks it slightly to suit your specific car..... say for example a tuner did an FG turbo with 1000cc injectors intercooler and 100 cell cat and the next day another FG turbo comes in same mods wanting a tune, you reckon he's not gonna utilise yesterday's tune file and make slight adjustments where needed? No one is writing a whole new tune every car they do... (nothing wrong with that but it is what it is) The reason why no response when you say you wanna be there for the tune is coz you'd be pissed off with how much your tune cost you when you realise how quick it's actually done.... (not not every shop is like this but most are).... I understand everyone's gotta make a living and 1000 Dollar tune fee when you gotta pay for a dyno and overheads and software I can understand, but most charge over 1000 Now and treat you like your beneath them or there doin you a favour touching your car...... when I got my first ever tune done years ago on a HSV maloo I was sittin in the waiting room of the shop as I got there abit early saw my car climb onto the dyno within 30mins it was back off again.... and that's what I mean you paid good money for your haltech so you should be able to use it the way you want to....

Mate you'd drink me under the table in the first half hour haha..... Im enjoying some Johnny W as we speak

Puff the two bottles of whisky on separate days? Or both in the one haha solid effort my friend

Biddie... I agree with you but I'm saying it's hypocritical... the tuners are ripping of fords intelectual property then wanna whinge that someone will take there's.... f*ck em the base of there work dosent belong to them Anyway it's fords...... Nothings a secret anymore I guarantee your gas detectors are on the shelf of the competitors... they'd be trying to suss it out etc Doubt it takes years to learn how to tune a basic Barra combo.... I did spend years developing products and technology along with a team and the competitors were always trying to take it from us that's been happening since the dawn of time

Exactly part of my point tom exactly......

100%, products Ive had a massive input into designing for my former employer even though many had patents as soon as they were put onto the market the competition buys it and reverse engineers it finding a way to improve it further or worm around the patent... it happens everywhere my point just was they scream intelectual property when the base maps they work from isn't there property to begin with

That's not a bad analogy actually touché my friend.... I wonder how Ford would of felt that tuners can have access to there base maps Ford would of spent many $$$ in the development in there base maps thus the shops being hypocritical they don't write there tunes completlely from scratch they improve upon fords initial investment, do they pay monies into Ford for using there intelectual property or do they say oh it's the customers car hence they own the tune..... hmmmmm

So Keith how different do you reckon one basic tune, say injectors and high flow cat is from one tune shop to another?

Tbh F*ck the tuners.... only in this stupid industry does someone say yea you pay for something but you can't have full use of it..... I'm not a tuner but this platforms been around for going on 2 decades theres nothing that secret about a basic tune they try to justify charging 1000 bucks for flashing in a tune they've already got created to suit your cars mods and make a few Minor tweaks from car to Car for basic tunes it Ain't nothing special... when I was a hvac engineer towards the end of my Career working with one of the leading global hvac companies I was involved in the engineering design and configuration of some serious stuff with values in the hundreds of millions... and let me tell you most of the time there was nothing that revolutionary going on but everyone would act like we were recreating the world up in those meeting rooms... bunch of crap oh and even if the tuner did stuff your car with there tune most won't help you and blame it on something else... sorry for the good ones out there bcoz there is good guys but it's a shark of an industry

Just tell them it's a tune on a BA with a standard engine not some magical combo that no one else knows about... tell the shop that you want to do the work that youl tune with them provided they don't lock the ecu and get it in writing! im betting that for that type of engine combo one of the good shops will agree... out of curiosity may I ask why you forked out for a haltech for the type of power/engine combo you will be utilising? not criticising just curious?

Goodluck let me know how it goes bro!

Yea neighbour has a redback system not bad Dont think red back exist anymore hey

Tbh it don't sound very nice on a NA IMO but sound is subjective check some YouTube clips and see what u think. sounds nice on a turbo on NA I actually feel it sounds worse

100% you can but man you've gotta be bothered.... back when my falcon was my daily I used to run e85 all the time now with the cost of it if it was still my daily I'd be back on 98,, I'm very grateful United still supply a pump e85 but tbh I'm super surprised they still do

Yea 100 would be better as it has a higher knock threshold... if you can get it all the time with no issues then yea tune it on 100.... here in OZ no one makes a 100 anymore so a lot of us don't really have any experience with it, it's either 98 or e85 and the e85 has gotten super expensive now...

5 speed na auto------ is an awesome car for P plates Enjoy it shes a beauty... I had no money till I was like 30 my first few cars would break down more then they would run 😂😂

Get it tuned on what youl use all the time.... if tuned on 100 Itl be best to run 100 all the time.... I'd tune on 98 to be sure you can always access it

Lmaooo chasing down vibrations in a falcon 😂😂 feel like there never ending even in well maintained cars

Yea not saying you were wrong just first I've heard of it and seeing as though FG been out since 2008 I thought maybe it would of come up by now if that was the case.... only ever difference I was aware of was the nsw cars got the f6 brakes as the standard ones weren't up HWP testing criteria..... thanks for letting me know
