Share Posted 05/09/19 11:47 AM (edited) Posted 05/09/19 11:47 AM Share Just got my BF Mk2 tuned. Usual mods - fuel system, plazmaman cooler and plenum, valve springs, oil pump gears, 4" exhaust etc. Stock GT3582r. Will get some engine bay pics when I get the rocker cover powder coated, it's currently missing paint where the catch can AN fittings have been welded on. Will let the pic speak. You can see she tapers off, the stock turbo is on full send. Edited 05/09/19 11:56 AM by Tom Tucker picture cropped 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Share Posted 05/09/19 12:42 PM Posted 05/09/19 12:42 PM Share nice work. E85 pushes the power up a lot on your tune; gotta be happy with that Link to post Share on other sites
Author Share Posted 05/09/19 09:56 PM Posted 05/09/19 09:56 PM Share Yeah, seems pretty good. Not sure how my NPC single plate is going to hold up, but apparently it was fine on the dyno 👍 Link to post Share on other sites
Share Posted 06/09/19 12:36 AM Posted 06/09/19 12:36 AM Share Few KW left in the turbo. Be careful of high load in 4th and 5th . That will kill the clutch. Is it organic ? Link to post Share on other sites
Author Share Posted 06/09/19 01:51 AM Posted 06/09/19 01:51 AM Share Yeah organic. It's a delicious clutch, so user friendly Link to post Share on other sites
Share Posted 06/09/19 02:57 AM Posted 06/09/19 02:57 AM Share Good luck with it. My twin plate organic died at 380rwkw. Link to post Share on other sites

Share Posted 07/09/19 07:03 AM Posted 07/09/19 07:03 AM Share Wow, am I reading that correctly as ~16psi makes 373rwkw on the factory huffer with 98ron? What does it feel like to drive? Link to post Share on other sites

Author Share Posted 07/09/19 07:56 AM Posted 07/09/19 07:56 AM Share Yep, there abouts. It's pretty lazy on 98 compared to e85, but it's super safe, and still turns the 275 Nitto NT05s on the back. I actually got two low boost tunes too. It makes 320rwkw on 10psi 98 and 370rwkw on 12psi e85. Plenum makes it breath a lot better, but I think it's pushed boost threshold up around 200rpm. The tuner said this was one of those cars where everything seems to come together well to make power with modest boost. I guess that's what you aim for hey 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Author Share Posted 21/01/20 04:19 AM Posted 21/01/20 04:19 AM Share So finally got around to driving the high boost e85 tune. Still haven't fixed all the issues since visiting that particular workshop. But here's the verdict. The car feels slower than the previous CMS tune which was apparently 399rwkw. It doesn't fry the tyres in second gear, let alone third, which it did previously. I've had an independent check done on engine health etc. It's perfect, 200psi across all cylinders, so nothing to do with that. Maybe the clutch is struggling, but it's not coincidence that everything went backwards after he car came into contact with this workshop. Beware guys, I'm not the only one that's had issues with tunes coming from this workshop... It's not what it once was I'm told 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Share Posted 21/01/20 10:17 AM Posted 21/01/20 10:17 AM Share Humm sounds like you’re not a happy camper mate, have you had a direct conversation with Joe about this from Precision racing ? Link to post Share on other sites
Share Posted 21/01/20 11:19 AM Posted 21/01/20 11:19 AM Share I agee with jet, had a couple of tunes from joe, minor problem with cold start on E85 , he couldn't do enough to help. just give him a call & see if it can be sorted. Link to post Share on other sites
Author Share Posted 21/01/20 11:53 AM Posted 21/01/20 11:53 AM Share I've spoken to Joe, and despite apologies I'm still well out of pocket. I've since moved from Sydney, so no way of taking back again. The point is, you shouldn't have to take your car back several times if a workshop does a good job in the first place. All I can do in this instance is try and move on, and share the experience so that others can make informed decisions about where they spend their money. Link to post Share on other sites
Author Share Posted 29/03/20 12:16 AM Posted 29/03/20 12:16 AM Share Update: Car now has a Haltech, intake was pulled, gaskets replaced, and battery moved to boot. Basically everything the previous workshop touched was redone and fixed. Sooooo much better. Tune needs a little more work, but it's actually fun to drive now. Power figures were around 360kw on 98, 430kw on e85, flex enabled. No more misfire! They actually did some troubleshooting and found the primary issue to be the back cam sensor. The sensor was brand new, but the plug was replaced. Expensive journey, but such is playing with cars Link to post Share on other sites
Share Posted 29/03/20 03:31 AM Posted 29/03/20 03:31 AM Share Good pickup. That is starting to be an issue on high K cars at the coil pack connector. The wiring goes hard and brittle. Link to post Share on other sites

Author Share Posted 16/12/20 02:49 AM Posted 16/12/20 02:49 AM Share Cheers! Technically I guess the thread needs to be moved... Link to post Share on other sites
Share Posted 16/12/20 03:03 AM Posted 16/12/20 03:03 AM Share is the engine still unopened? Link to post Share on other sites
Author Share Posted 16/12/20 03:49 AM Posted 16/12/20 03:49 AM Share Yes, unfortunately. Usual valve springs, oil pump gears etc. I probably should have elaborated, but I did that in the turbo thread. Basically, nobody expected the setup to make that power. Everybody assumed the G35 would need more boost. So it's been turned down significantly to around 440kw, which is still a stretch for the npc single plate... Anyway, I think I've mentioned elsewhere, but the turbo setup is as follows: - G35-900 1.01 Vband rear - 6 boost manifold, hpc coated - 60mm gen V external gate, plumbed back in - 4" dump, 3.5" over the rear cradle 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Share Posted 16/12/20 04:01 AM Posted 16/12/20 04:01 AM Share moved to 500+ section and renamed the title from "BF Mk 2, unopened, stock turbo" to "BF Mk 2, unopened, not stock turbo anymore" Link to post Share on other sites
