Tuning offer for a Melbourne member

[macca_779]

JezzaB in association with macca_779 are offering a one time offer to someone in Melbourne who is keen for a cheap tune. We're doing this as both Jezz and I have been tuning and communicating with each other for quite some time now. I'll be heading down to Melbourne to meet up with jezz on Sunday the 30th September and we thought it would be a good opportunity to combine our knowledge and tune a car together.

If anyone is keen it will cost you nothing bar a smile and a carton of piss to feed myself, jezz and the lucky volunteer after we're done.

We'll tune what ever the owner has be it an LS1, L98 or LS2 in either MAF or MAFLESS configuration.

Mods I know this isn't strictly abiding by forum rules but we aren't making any money out of this and are just doing it as an enjoyable exercise for both Jeremy and myself.

[Jezza@HDTCQ]

Ok guys this is completely non profit. Its for guys havin a smile on their face ;) Its just for making people appreciate the forum;

We both are chipping in to both pay for the license ($60EA) but a few beers would be appreciated

You will be a happy chappy for a tune and you can PM any one of us and we will help you day and night if there is a problem.

Jez

One example of my tune is a L76 with a full DiFillipo system and it made 262rwkw with just the exhaust and 2 hole mod....

[macca_779]

If the person chooses the MAFLESS option it will incorporate EFI LIVE's custom operating system 5. This includes retention of dual spark timing addition of Semi Open Loop fuelling and also IAT/VE correction to compensate for temperate drift. This is going to be a balls out full custom tune done by us with a high degree of attention to detail. The car can be A4, A6 or M6 it doesn't faze us in the least.

Guess mate we cant give this shite away for fun. Pity its a bloody good deal....
Better to have a VERy careful tune than the best

[macca33]

This is a great offer from you blokes. Considering the time, you may have to wait (until a decent hour) for a response, although at that stage, you will most likely be overwhelmed.

Pity I'll be in Qld, as I won't get to see what will possibly turn into an ls1forum 'tuning' day!

Good on you both.

Cheers,

Macca

hey macca, yeah we don't know what to expect from this. Started out as a bit of a something to do next week between me and jez so who knows how its going to turn out

Yeah it will be a bit of fun... just to muck about,....

[Ghosn]

So how are u guys going to decide on the lucky person or is it first in best dressed?

[MitchyVYSS]

Wish I was in Melbourne... My car needs a good tune...

[VESSVFAN]

I would love to offer my SSV A6 (stock) for a tune but not sure how I would go with the lease company and insurance.
Sounds like a great opportunity

Trev

I'm happy to give it a go. First A6 for both of us would be interesting. Jez and I really didn't discuss how we were going to choose the car. So it could be you. Maybe people could write a, why I need a good tune speal or something like that. Bit of entertainment for the forum in what people could write. We'll discuss it either way.

[HSVJPL]

Sounds like a great opportunity for a lucky person.

However, you may struggle on 30/9 as that's the day after the AFL grand final.

Gonna be a lot of sore heads and sleeping in.

Best of luck

[RARASV8]

Gee fella's i'll put my hand up, if you still need someone. the missus VT SS A4. now that would keep her from giving my car a hard time, when she drives it. but she'll be quicker than me if that was to happen:bawl:
Garry

[Hman]

I have a 1999 VT SS stock except for a 2,5 system from cat back. Would this be a candidate? Certainly a fantastic offer.

[Da Burb]

I have an interesting one for ya!

Depends when you want to do it.
I expect to have my Burb up and running this week after a HEAP of mods.
Marine Intake (only one in Oz) with 42lb injectors.
4L80E (again, only 5.7L Burb in Oz with this trany actually, I believe this may be the only one in the world to have been done...this configuration).
Whipple
Twin two speed elec fans
Polished TB with the restrictor removed
Running EFILive cos3 (no need to buy a license).
(currently mafless)



All running via the 0411 PCM I swapped in!

Oh, and I'm driving to Sydney in 2 weeks (I hope...Lol! )

Howard your combo would be very interesting to have a play with. You can bring it around if you like and we can throw advice your way. Jezz's got a bit more FI experience than myself so I'm sure it would be beneficial. Still though this offer is for more of a hard luck case of sorts. Doing a touch up on an already tuned car isn't what I'd like this to be about.

[STATIE]

I've got one of these that needs a tune.
:D

[Da Burb]

No worries Macca....but...this is NOT a tuned car.
This is all new and I'll be starting from scratch.
I want to be driving this to Sydney so I can datalog on some of those long hills on the other side of Gundegai.
Could have been an interesting project for both here (only Burb on these forums) and EFILive (I know Jezza hangs out over there).
What you guys are doing is a great gesture...I hope the recipient appreciates it.

Thanks anyway

Howard

[BLAZEY]

ive got a good car for ya but shit ill be in deni at the ute muster

but feel free to pick the girl up lol

[gasguz]

I would love to put my hand up for the SS, not quite sure of the story you are after, but PM me if I raise your interests.

To whoever receives it, congrats & kudos to you guys for offering your time & experiance for a LS1 member. :thumbsup:

Cheers Simon

[Hman]

Well i do not know if it's a hard luck case or not . But i work with Disabled Kids and young adults so do not make big money. but i love my car and it's a chance of a lifetime. Not a sob story just telling it the way it is.

[Millsy]

id stick my hand up as im in melbourne, but my cars completely stock, i dont even have the 2 hole mod as im waiting for funds to go straight to OTRCAI and MAFLESS...:(

[Wonky]

Congrats to Macca and Jezza for such a generous offer as from all I've read they both seem to have the requisite skills! :thumbsup:

Is that maf or mafless Statie?? ;)

[vyssbeast]

This would be a good one to see what you could get outta a completely stock car .... OR if possible organise that OTR and get the mafless done with these fellas ...

[Millsy]

This would be a good one to see what you could get outta a completely stock car .... OR if possible organise that OTR and get the mafless done with these fellas ...

thats actually a very good point you make there beast, a stock ls1 with otrcai and mafless edit, it would be interesting to see the gain in power and economy

Well guys I dont have a hard luck story just cant justify the tune to the wife if I had to pay for one.
Good luck with the lucky recipient and well done.
Trev

[kalmon]

Have a stock 6L crewman available if that interests you

[macca_779]

thats actually a very good point you make there beast, a stock ls1 with otrcai and mafless edit, it would be interesting to see the gain in power and economy

thats pretty much my car guys. stock as a rock HSV senator with only a 160 stat PT style OTR and no rear res. The gains are huge.. I've done a 100% stock VY UTE in the past and also had good gains.

[alto]

will this be a dyno tune or street tune? ie will there be before and after dyno sheets?

[shep]

It could be, if you have a Dyno..

[1340LOCO]

If you decide to come to adelaide you could tune my car!! LOL

[macca_779]

it will be a street tune. we dont have access to a dyno on the sunday and quite frankly we don't need it. we've done enough cars between us to know what we're doing with a bolt on car

[vyssbeast]

I wish i could just get you fellas to look at my tune and give me your opinion on it... ive got my doubts ... but with me not driving the bloody car nemore thats not so easy, oh n i dont know if its locked or not either. Said tuner wanted $150 to firm up my shifts!!!

[macca_779]

where are you located mate. I'm sure one of us can have a look at it for you. Even if its locked we can log it to see what its doing

[Jezza@HDTCQ]

will this be a dyno tune or street tune? ie will there be before and after dyno sheets?

Street tune. I cant use the dyno on the sunday. If you cant feel it in your ass we will flash it back to stock ;)

Jez


thats actually a very good point you make there beast, a stock ls1 with otrcai and mafless edit, it would be interesting to see the gain in power and economy

L76 Ute with just a 2 hole mod = 245kw, full DiPhillipo system and 2 hole mod on a Sedan 262rwkw

Shows its worth doing mods. the second could take more but we were being safe as it had 3000km on the new engine.


Stock cars can be done but you just dont get the max out of it you could achieve. The engine is just an air pump, if you can suck in (2 hole mod. otr) and cant blow out (extractors etc) you arnt running it efficiently and to its maxium potencial
Jez

[macca_779]

to add to what jez mentioned it also depends on the model when tuning from stock. Now obviously a VX is going to net more gains than a VZ will as the base tune in the VZ is already a better starting point. But even the later models still get noticeable gains in the seat with no bolt ons. I've done L98, LS2, LS1 that have only had my tune done to them. And every one of them has been happy with the power and economy improvements.. Its just as jez said. Pipes and intake make the motor more efficient at getting air in and out.. and that is what its all about.

[Smikvyss]

Ill be in on this for shaw let us know and iam close by to :bow:

[Jezza@HDTCQ]

Ill be in on this for shaw let us know and iam close by to :bow:

Whats your mods?

[heavychevy]

A tune would be nice!
Did the 2 hole mod and headers when the Clubby was new. ( 88k on the clock )
No edits around in 2000 and the fuel economy has always been terrible. ( 19-23 on average )
Where are you doing the tune? Would like to come along anyway.

[Jezza@HDTCQ]

It will be at my joint. Belgrave South (near Rowville) ;)

[BLAQSSHEV]

Thats awesome guys really cool thing to do for someone.. :)So when is Jezza coming up this way(newcastle) Il pay for licence and buy you guys a carton each (help you drink them of course) and tune my stock (k&n filter only) VZ SS 5.7l A4.. :bow:

[SIG-054]

thats pretty much my car guys. stock as a rock HSV senator with only a 160 stat PT style OTR and no rear res. The gains are huge.. I've done a 100% stock VY UTE in the past and also had good gains.

Hey mate, wat power figures are you pushing before and after the OTR? ive done the same as you, no rear ressy and mafless tune, and now looking at buying an OTR.

[TUFFIE]

Either way I think its going to be a Good social catch up day for the rest of us... post Grand Final... it will be very Quite gathering(not much noise that is)... good job guys... Warm up the BBQ.... here we come...:smilesandbanana:

[Millsy]

well i can put my hand up if you guys want to MAFLESS tune my car, ill install the OTRCAI instead of an exhaust to see power/fuel econ gains if your interested, cheers...

[OakenShield]

I wish i could just get you fellas to look at my tune and give me your opinion on it... ive got my doubts ... but with me not driving the bloody car nemore thats not so easy, oh n i dont know if its locked or not either. Said tuner wanted $150 to firm up my shifts!!!

I'm in the same boat, my car definitely runs better after the tune. But when it was tuned (Only 6 weeks ago) I was asked no questions about what I want or what fuel I am running in it, nothing. told me only BP afterward.

Would be interested to see what it logs...

[macca_779]

Hey mate, wat power figures are you pushing before and after the OTR? ive done the same as you, no rear ressy and mafless tune, and now looking at buying an OTR.

I haven't got any figures to compare it. But you can certainly feel it in the pants.

[davus]

Hi Guys,

Not sure if this is what you are after or not, but i have a totally stock VTII senator, live in ringwood and am available day after grand final day.

Am planning on getting VY2 HSV induction and exhaust fitted over the coming weeks, so it may even be a way of doing a tune on a stockie, then doing all the mods, followed by another tune to see what difference it all makes?

Just a thought

Dave

[brentonvxss]

I wish i lived in melb i wood put my hand up strait away to see if yous could push mine a little further, living in coffs harbour not many people know about ls1s that i know of without going to brisbane or sydney....

with that ride. You've certianly got my attention. Always good to see another Senator around the traps

Well guys I've pretty much short listed the cars I'd like to offer this oppertunity too. When I next talk to Jez we'll let everyone know which one we pick.

[Uncle Tone]

I haven't got any figures to compare it. But you can certainly feel it in the pants.

Could you stick to the thread topic please!! :lmao: :lmao:

Naughty Macca :nono:

Edit: I hope that wasn't an offer directed at someone!! :lol:

Hi Dave. You're now up to 8 (14 in total but posts to non-tech sections like Tar Pit and My Ride don't count). You can just click on your user name and then View Public Profile to see how many posts you have (or is that disabled for new users?).

Cheers,

[macca_779]

Ok Jez has left the decision in my hands (thanks mate.. no pressure). The decision wasn't an easy one to make as there were quite a few more cars than we were expecting. There was a select few that I was really keen to have a play with. In the end I've decided to choose Hman with his VTII SS A4 to receive this offer. The main reasons he was chosen was that his car being a VTII will net the greatest improvement over any other stock model due to its restrained factory tune. It also has a cat back exhaust already and I'll discuss with him intake modifications prior to Sunday. Hman is also a new member that seems like a genuine guy, and what better way to acquaint himself with the forum than a meet and greet with a few members. Hman's car will be tuned in either MAF or MAFLESS guise @ his choice and Jez will show us his magic with A4 calibrations.

Thanks for everyone that offered their rides for this and I hope to see a few new faces when I'm down on Sunday.

[Hman]

Hi guys , i nearly fell off my chair this morning reading this post before leaving for work. What can i say Thank i really do appreciate it. Never won a thing in my life lol. Where do i have to go? what time etc Boy am i excited. Gotta run late for work THANKS again. Yipeeeeeeeee. Vrooooom,vrooom.:)

P.S. What sort of Beer Fellas?? :):):):)Doing the Happy Dance.

Hey Hman I sent you a PM with a few details about this Sunday. Give one of us a call for any queries. I don't think I mentioned a time to be at Jezza's.. How does 1100 sound? For beer, Victoria's finest will will suffice.

[VESSVFAN]

Congrats Hman, I am sure you will be rapt with the results, I have a VTII SS with the cat back and 2 hole mod and tune and it was an amazing difference in both power and econemy and it really got the auto sorted as well.

Well done to Macca 770 and Jezzab for their genorosity!!!!!

PS: above mentioned VT is still for sale

Trev

[TUFFIE]

Now the formalities are over... What about the Party details..:smilesandbanana:

[VXSS346]

Nice work Jez and Macca, hope it'll be a successful day for all.

Now what's this I read about a BBQ and party? :rofl::rofl::rofl:

[shep]

I love Dyno days with no Dyno.
another full carpark coming up Jezza.
Sunday :yahoo:

[Jezza@HDTCQ]

I spoke with Hman tonight and he is very excited. Hes relatively new to the forum and is keen to meet a few members (im sure he will be validated by the end of the day). And didnt really know what to expect from the tune.

He couldnt get his hands on a MCAI from Holden (they didnt know what it was :lol:) but I have one laying in the garage that he can have so maybe you lazy buggers (you know who you are :lol:) can work for your beer and BBQ and help put it in and a 2 hole mod? :p

Well have a bit of a BBQ. Tuffy has offered to run it :stick:

11am, my joint.

Jez

[shep]

I have a new one that belongs to DUG I am willing to donate. :lmao:


Need a 110mm & 90mm holesaw and same size bits of pvc pipe.

[Hman]

I know i will wake up in the morning to find this is all a dream.:rofl: You are all unreal. Get Validated too :) And thank you Shep . V.B. is cooling as we sit here.:) See you all on Sunday. And thank you for such a tremendous welcome to the forum.:::)

[BigKev]

You will love the tune, it really transforms the car. I have a Jeztrack tuned VT, I had similar mods to you and the difference is huge after the tune.

I just hope you have some spare cash kicking around cause tyre destruction becomes a real problem after the tune.

[OUTAtheBloo]

Good onya shep and Jez, really generous, sounds like you picked a nice fella to give the tune too. Hope you all have a great day !

Dan

[macca_779]

Well its all coming together nicely. Sorry I missed your call today Hman, I was actually out doing some work for a change and aren't allowed my phone out on the line with me. Thanks jez for donating the MCAI and I've SMS'd Liam about donating a spacer for our cause. I'll call him in the morning to chase it up.

[Wonky]

11am, my joint.
Jez
Jez, could you please PM me your addy? :)

[djr350]

hey dudes. what about my vy clubby. i built the engine and designed the cam specks. plus ported the heads at home. built my own twin 2.5 exhaust. starr tb and wiend manifold. std hsv extractors it went 312 rwkw. but last week fitted 1 7/8 di philipos and sum great cats and now untuned its screaming. but uz 2 gods might enjoy sum thing not to easy. :eyes:

Run The BBQ???? is it a manual or Auto.. has it got an LSD?? :rofl:

May even be able to assist with the MCAI..

I will be happy to burn the meat for you... we do need all those attending to bring something towards the BBQ... post up who's bringing what.. I will bring some Snags.(spicy ones)

[macca_779]

Well I spoke to my mate Liam about supplying a MAF Spacer for our cause. He was all for the idea and thought it was a great gesture. Normally he supplies these spun aluminium spacers for $50. They are a great little unit that replaces the MAF seamlessly.

This is a fantastic gesture from everyone involved. Looking forward to the results. Well done guys, top stuff and Hman you're a blessed man to come into a forum like this to talk shop with others and you get a fantastic welcoming committee.

Well done, great stuff Jezza and Macca. I know where I'm going for a tune when the time comes as I've heard nothing but great things.

Well i guess im the first one to reply post (semi) the actual day!.

Apart from the rain, the nosey conrete truck (who im sure was just there to scab a free tune), and tuffy (i think it was?) slicing and dicing his hand with the hole saw, I had a ball.

Beers were flowing before the day even started i think!.

Saw a two hole mod being performed before my very eyes, before jezza and macca fired up the portable nerd boxes and started the tuning frenzy. Unfortunately i didnt get a chance to see the end results of the tune, how did it all go?

Thanks for a great day fellas (even if it was short for me). Always good to be part of a group that has similar interests!.

Looking forward to having you guys work over my tune very soon.

Hey all, it was a good day and great for me to finally meet a few melb members. We had a few issues with Hman's tune that had both of us stumped. Both Jez and I had never done a custom OS A4 before. I had made up an OS5 tune earlier but due to my limited A4 experience I left the trans cal's stock 04 Clubby for Jez to work his magic on. For some reason when we applied the OS the car would not start in anything but 3rd gear. We ripped the tune apart and had no idea as to why. In a frenzy we made another tune out of one of Jezz's old OS5 tunes he used to use in his car pre turbo. That tune wouldn't idle. So by then we were frustrated and really in need of a beer. We ended up putting the MAF back in and tuning it off the stock OS. The car came up really good. I learnt some good tricks for tuning A4's off Jez that I'll be applying to my own tunes in the future. For now Hman's car is singing well on the MAF tune. Once we sort out what was wrong with the MAFLESS tune, Jez will get the car back to finish in off in the way we intended from the begining. Shame I wont be here to see it.

My highlight of the day was taking Jezz's UTE for a spin in shitty weather. I have a new found respect for large capacity FI engines. The power is not something to take advantage of. It will bite you if you don't respect it. Just trying to hold the boost from building to maintain traction on a hair line trigger was great fun, I was giggling like a bitch behind the wheel. I didn't have a problem with driving it as its quite manageable off boost, but longed for a racetrack to use its potential. I think im in love with Turbo's now.

Easily explained.





The car rebelled against the mafless tune!! Its an uprising!! :lol:

This car was the first, but will not be the last, mark my words!! The cars have had enough!! :toetap: You can only oppress a whole species for so long.....There will be other cars that strike back upon attempted removal of their mafs....or as the car sees it....attempted castration!! :errr:

Finally the cars are standing up to tuners when it comes to this barbaric and cruel operation.....Justice will be done, and all LS1's can finally live in peace! :yahoo:

Well just got back from a !!Quick drive:rofl: Seems lots more grunt in the lower range but unfortunately did not go anywhere i could use the power button. Will keep you posted on when i do. Need a bit more time.:)

[Hman]

PPPFFFFFFFWWWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA yeah riiiiight!!!!! :flip3:

Go back to your own threads Tone. Leave this one be ;)

But if you wanna push it, there is a 50 on the table that you feel a difference (if Hman lets you drive it before and after)

[macca_779]

Glad your enjoying the car Hman. As Jez said there is still alot more in her once the MAFLESS tune goes in. I've been at bathurst so hence the late reply.
