Edit - Adding Other Tunes From Tuners

[JimmyXR6T04]

I have two different tuners tunes in mine, and both are less than 15psi, but one tune does make my motor a ticking time bomb, and the other tune dosnt.

Tuners and not all the same and they all have different views, be it from experience with our cars or just general talk they hear about the cars... plenty of motors have broken on 15psi, and plenty have done lots of kays and still going strong

←

that's true mate, but motors have broken at anywhere between 5psi and 20psi. I'm pretty confident in my tuners ability to deliver a safe 15psi tune. if it does go bang... Simon watch out you counselled me on the phone, assured, assured again, and re-assured me it would be fine

I think a lot of it depends on how you drive the car too, my WOT bursts are few and far between, especially if the missus is in the car.

Cant ya get full boost on half throttle?

not sure... never really tried. I know that I can get to 10psi on part throttle. I usually cruise around and might be lucky to use 5-10psi boost here or there at part throttle. I have noticed that during the summer the car sits more on 13psi in 3rd/4th where as winter it would always hit 15.

But if I'm gonna use 15psi at part throttle, I'd rather just mash the pedal and go all out on it

You better hope he knows what he's doing when he erases just the 1 slot, or you might kiss them all good-bye anyway

Better make sure your old tuner still has your tunes on file , just in case.

Don't be like me one day with the Wog, he gave me the wrong box after screwing around for a while.

This one was clean, and wanted to upload my F-Slot to his clean box

I don't think I'll even bother with another tune anymore! my current tune is beast

it was more so to get an idea on how another tune felt.. and if I ever needed a tuner down here, not so far away.

jimy... I have had 3 different tunes in my box at the same time by diff tuners.... doesnt hurt to try someone else....

the tuner you currently use has a way with tuning and even if you get other tunes you will probably end up using the tune that you hacurrently have.. which is exactly what happened to me... but at least that way you can get a feeling of different methods that tuners use

yeah I know what you mean mate, which was why I wanted to give these local guys a go.. but after what I was told, it sorta makes me wanna steer clear I'll probably have a chat with them down the track and see how things pan out, it's always good to try out different things, and another type of tune can't hurt.. unless its dodgy

Jimmy:

Give him a go but his style of tuning is not Wog-like it's far smoother and he has always preferred to err on the lower side of boost...he cares, sometimes too much about the longevity of your motor and drive train. If he knows that you drive like a bloody idiot then he will feel more comfortable in tuning your car to suit. Glen will do it as you wish but will clearly state when it is against his way of tuning (Diablo WRX-aside!).

Remember that years ago it was he that had mine producing 280RWKW with 10psi on a Unichip before you-know-who visited and made a real mess of several attempts to improve those numbers with flashing.

If you haven't changed your valve springs, high boost numbers at high revs will also introduce a new feature for you too.

It took Glen to successfully get to the bottom of the issue with mine and she has run smooth and hard as ever since. Some genius had incorrectly fitted the wrong submersible fuel line with the Walbro, together with the incorrect filter assembly together with resident contamination form some drillling of the filter basket. Pump, line and filters all removed and replaced with new items and she now runs smooth and hard as any around.

Gudday Buggy nice to see you're still around too.

The disappointing thing wasn't only that he gave me the incorrect info, even though at heart i knew it could be done, but he was also having a bit of a go at the way some other tuners tune cars.. He was especially adamant that the XR6T motor was a ticking time bomb with 15-16psi.. which, for my application, i don't think it is.. i rarely belt the car to start with.

←

Jimmy i ran 20+psi in my car for quite a while with one of Simons tune. That was with a stock bottom end and i belted the car everyday. If the tune is safe you have nuthin to worry about(expect your gearbox... ) My car was making 20psi at around 3500 and i had no problems at all.....

[JimmyXR6T04]

dingah,

I got no doubts in Glens ability mate I'd like to try one of his tunes, the thing that threw me off was Daniels comments on only being able to do their tunes and needing to wipe my box clean

I don't have valve springs done, and that's the main reason why Simon tuned my car the way he did, boost backs off pretty quickly in the higher rev range.

hiddeous,

cheers mate, always good to hear stuff like that
