Where to get tune done in WA?

[VTR8Clubby]

I'm in WA and would like to know the best place to get a tune done on my VT Clubby. Only mods will be 2.5" cat back and 2 hole mod. Has anyone got any recommendations?
Also, what's the advantage of mafless tune over a maf tune?

[jaykay]

This question again...you'll get some interesting comments to your question.

My answer is see who are Forum Sponsors on here for a start, call them and ask your questions.

Then call some others around Perth...

I'm sure you will work out who to use from this.

Good luck

JK :)

Thanks for that. I have browsed through heaps of threads and even the sponsors forum. I didn't realise Chipmaster was in WA.

[Kris78]

this sort of thread in previous times has caused everyone alot of drama.
But like everyone has said try looking at a few of the sponsors on here.
you will get alot of different answers and if you do alot of research on the products you are looking for I am sure you will find the tune that is right for you :)

[VYSSion]

Another one for Chipmaster.

I've had 2 other tunes in the past from other tuners and both were garbage.

[Troy-77]

With all the rave reviews about Chipmaster I think it is hard to go past him, we will be taking the Clubby to him soon for a tune.

[ATTNSEEKR]

:rofl:

WA Performance, Pro Auto for sponsors.

House of Power, Active automotives, Formula tech, APC, and many more. shop arround, ask questions, talk to customers. cant be any more simpler:eyes:

[EXCESSV]

please before this one turns into a sh1t fight like the last one just as ppl have said speak to WA forum sponsors and have a look at some non forum sponsors and make your own mind up.

lets not turn this into Chipmaster Vs WA Performance Vs Street Tuna Vs whatever other tuner/performance shop in perth

places include:
Chipmaster
WA Performance
APC
Pro Auto
Formula Tech
House of Power
thats all i can think of off the top of my head

many others...pick up a copy of Perth Street Car and have a looksey in there

[RED R8]

Lock this bad boy up ,Poster has all the options now ,Use a WA sponser and you can't go wrong I have used most of them and been more than happy with them all.

I got a tune from Chipmaster a couple of years ago and I was impressed by his service. I have also had my car upgraded since then to maffless by Powertorque here in QLD and when they did the upgrade they found that chipmaster had pin locked the computer. All Powertorque had to do was get onto Chipmaster and Dan had a blank computer in an overnight bag that night and Powertorque was able to tune that one for me instead. I was very happy with how these two companies handled the situation and would vouch for either of them as being good to deal with.

[Hjs2]

APC west perth is just up the road from me and theres always at least 4 different gts's in there as well as a few other cars getting worked on.


If the sounds these monsters are making are anything to go by they seem to do a good job

Did a little research on this at our last dvd cruise myself, the general concencus was that no-one did not have any complaints and most people recommended chipmaster. They recently re-tuned my car and am extremely happy with the results.

One guy that advertises in Perth Street Car that l can recommend to stay away from is Steve Bannister, l think the company was Aust Perfomance Tuning, big purple add l think . Someone please correct me if l'm wrong, don't have the mag on me. And APC Wangara, they have a new, unexperienced tuner that thought my six litre fly by wire was an 80mm cable TB and said i'd get good gains if l got a 85mm TB upgrade ????

I found also when l was having trouble with my car and was asking around, was that a lot of tunershops would bag the crap out of other shops which l can't stand. Dan doesn't need to bag anyone, results speak for themselves l guess.

I am sure that there are some other great tuners out there that do a great job also

Good luck with it mate :D

Hey there mate. Just wondering why you would not recommend Steve? Dont know anything about the new tuner at APC Wangara but I do know that Steve saved my ass. My car was tuned elsewhere. It kept stalling and was running like a pig. Steve looked after me when my car was almost undrivable. The custom tune he did is a beauty for the little mods I have. Standard airbox with K&N filter, GTS maff pipe, Pacey headers 4 into 1 and single 3" zorst. Standard diff gears, standard clutch and standard shifter in the M6. Sitting on 19" rims did consistent 13.4 passes at 106mph all night at the motorplex. Never had a drama. Did you have a bad experience with his tuning?

Cheers mate. :)

Was happy when he originally tuned it, except it had a little trouble idling, but over time my car started to run like a pig. I originally thought it might have been a o2 sensor of plugs. A tuner shop (not Dan) had a look at the tune and found long and short fuel trims were the same and a few other little things that should have been done differently. lt came crunch time when my car would stall all the time when cold and was lacking in power big time. See thread Australian LS1 and Holden Forums (http://www.ls1.com.au/forum/showthread.php?t=78147). He tuned it on APC Wangara's dyno and he originally claimed it made 400.7rwhp, l took it back there for a power run and it made no where near that (falsifying figures)

Had my ride re-tuned by Dan @ Chipmaster, nothing else, just a tune. It made around 15-20 more rwhp just with a tune, does't even look like stalling, sounds heaps better and feels great to drive, it's like a different car!

I never thought that just a tune would make such a huge difference, but let me tell you, it did.

Also, one day while l was in at APC chatting to Harry, a customer came in claiming his ride was making funny noises when he was putting his foot down, Steve had not long tuned it. They put it on the dyno while l was there to see what was going on and low and behold, this nice monaro was pinging like an 18 year old at a rave party, it was found to be the tune.

The guy l live with has a VX GTS which l put near the same mods as mine on his, he can't get out ofthe driveway without stalling it 3-4 times and his Mrs refuses to drive it now it's such a pig, l was beside him when he was tuning it and he said it had heaps of piston slap, l asked him to alter the timing a little and low and behold, no more PINGING !!! still runs like crap at idle :bawl:

Have no problems with Steve himself, l think he's a really nice guy, but l think from personal experience, his tuning abilities leave much to be desired.

I got 13.2 with no traction with his tune, l can't wait for next season with the new tune and some slicks! :D

Thanks for clearing that up mate. These days tuners are everywhere. But in Perth sounds like Dan at Chipmaster is the guru.

When you get your slicks im sure you will be happy with the ET.

The pump couldnt flow enough...nothing to do with cavitating.

Nah, l'm with you on that. When a pump cavitates it is usually at quite a high pressure as it is actually exploding tiny little bubbles of air on the pressure side of the pump, the cause of this is usually either a restriction of flow in the suction side, or a leak on the suction side allowing air to be drawn in under vacuum. Most commonly happens in hydraulic systems. Restriction to, or low flow is plausible......myth busted :lmao:

Correct.

Detuned to 550 rwhp ?????? , you cant detune if you are out of pump except by dropping the rev limit or boost to stop the situation occuring.

Yes, which is caused by bad pump impellor design and shortens the pump life, nothing to do with supplying enough fuel.

[6.2L.Club]

Yes, which is caused by bad pump impellor design and shortens the pump life, nothing to do with supplying enough fuel.

Not all pump have impellors, some have gears, others vanes, it in not from pump design (unless you build one yourself), it has to do with the supply to the pump and yes it causes lifespan of the pump. It can be diagnosed by listening to the pump (increased/excessive noise) and inspecting pump for damage (will have pitting in the chamber area). The very reason why suction lines to pumps are generally bigger than the outlet from the pump is to stop pumps cavitating.

Good luck with the tune whoever you choose !

Tim's a great diesel mechanic but couldn't tune a radio...:)

[WraithGTO]

Going way overboard,
But the way I understand the cause of Cavitation of a pump is
Cavitation is caused in 3 ways, all three are linked in some way
1
Discharge recirculation
The pump is designed for a certain flow range, if there is not enough or too much flow going through the pump, the resulting turbulence and vortexes which is cavitation

(This could occur in a fuel system, As a engine is basically a pump . So in basic terms a fuel pump is feeding the suction side of the engiine, now if the engine draws too much fuel from the fuel pump (High RPM), The fuel pump will cavitate)

2
When liquid enters a pump, its velocity increases
causing a reduction in pressure within the pump. If this pressure falls too low, some of the liquid
will vaporise, forming bubbles in the liquid
These bubbles collapse violently as they move to
areas of higher pressure creating cavitation
( This could be caused by too much of a restriction or not enough on the Discharge or on the inlet side of a pump or too much draw or not enough draw from the pump)

3
Air entering the Suction side of a pump thru a leak
( This is self explanatory)

There is a heap more to cavitation that I learnt Dewatering, but it is a bit over my simple Bonehead Brain:D

Back on topic,

For the tune for WA , I would suggest what many other members have suggested , Dan @ Chipmaster

Fantastic, I studied fluid dynamics too. I've got a nice 3 stage hydraulic gear pump here that has collapsed bearings due to sucking air.
The point is that there is "oompteenth" people talking about things they dont know and its' quite monotonous to read on the forums. I hate to think of all the bad and incorrect info dished out over the years. I think it's getting worse.

My apologies
I didn't read your post before i posted,I read it after, Sorry about that,
I Must remember to read all post before replying

Yes are correct with the explanation you gave
i agree your explanation and my explantion are are very similar just in a different contex

Been told by the guys in the worskhops that they are fitters as fitters work on Heavy duty diesel and mechanics work on LV's

A Engine draws in air through the intake and pushes out air through the exhaust so is similar proccess to a pump

Every car will benefit from a full tune , the results will vary by what mods you have done and how good the tuner is.

As many have said before mate get Dan at chipmaster to tune your car.

I am installing a Pacemaker/Di fillipo exhaust in April and then I would like to get an EFILive tune. From what I have seen there are different tunes around, even ones that can be posted to you.

Dan if your listening or anyone that's had it done, if I took the car to Chipmaster for the full tune what would a rough price be to get it done and does it only take a day to do?

On a different subject what is a two hole mod? and would it be a huge advantage over a drop in K&N air filter?

[monaro_mad]

I can reccomend Dan @ Chipmaster, i went in there the day i got my diff gears & Kaaz to get some advice on getting my speedo recalibrated, walked out with a $400 dollar mail order tune done, took 1/2 hr (including test drive)
That was the best value for money i've spent on ANY car i've owned.

I have:
full 3inch difilippo system ($$$$)
3.9 diff gears & Kaaz($$$$)

I get 16L/100km in city traffic with those gears, some mates don't get anywhere near that with 3.7s, we have autos. I can only credit that to the tune.

[mmmfreegoo]

Just wondering, does a Full PCM tune adjust your auto gear changes to make them a bit smoother and swifter as opposed to boosting the line pressure?

This itself is an interesting comment. It’s saying any monkey can tune a car. Hope their aint too many tuners in Perth like this. Would hope it would be more down their expert knowledge. Otherwise people are making good money for cut and paste custom tunes.

A lot of people are , pretty common when we unlock a computer to see the same tune that came on the HPT disc in every one of their cars and they are pretty poor compared to a good tune , but better than the stocker , remember even ported maf's get big rave reviews from the uninformed.

Bit like saying any monkey can bolt a set of tyres onto a car , I would think to do it properly you would need knowledge about offsets , tyre deflection , suspension travel etc
.

maybe L-iam could have worded it better by saying he is hooked by the bug and is going back for some power upgrades rather than a tune - the internet can be taken more than one way.

[evo4-140]

I think we are missing the point of this thread. Some one asked where to go for a good tune. Not a HSV one. Hopefully helping the uninformed where to steer away and where to go.

I guess anyone can fit wheels to a car. Hence a tyre and wheel shop on every corner. But if some one asked where to go for a larger fitment wheels it takes more expertise.

So i think the point to this thread is where is the tuners in Perth who dont just do cut and shut tunes and will make a difference even with the informed customer.

[tuf ute]

the only people i would recommend in WA is WA Performance , would not trust anyone else.

[INSINR8R]

Yeah I would take it to WA Performance. Seriously if you want shit done right, then go there.

Mitch chucked in a MAFless tune in my R8, then when ST came over back in nov 06, tuned the car on the dyno. Car ran so well. Could not recommend them enough.

Track backed performance, we all know it.

[VTR8Clubby]

Shit, I didn't think I'd see this thread again.:confused:
I didn't reply back here at the time as the discussion turned to crap.
Anyway, I went and saw Dan at Chipmaster and got a mailorder mafless tune, I got 220 rwkw, better fuel consumption and it drives much better than before. :bow:
To others that don't understand getting a tune and then going back, I'll be doing this in the near future(no mods done since first tune) as I would like to see what can be achieved with a full tune. If I pick up an extra few kw and a bit better economy it will be worth it. I'll make sure I post back the differences. I guess I'm not expecting too much as the mailorder tune is quite good.

I should add that this is a standard VTII and the only upgrades are 2 1/2" catback and GTS maf pipe.

[WH_IKID]

ive was impressed by my first ls1 tune by rob @ house of power. soon to go back for more.

Have to agree there. Got mine done by House Of Power on the weekend, and all though we added a couple of goodies on, very happy with the outcome. Car is going excellent now and previous problems are now gone. :bow:

Ive called chipmaster about getting my maffless tune done, and whoever i spoke to was very, very helpful, other tuners i spoke to were very quick to get me off the phone.
