Super clean DET swapped pulsar we had the pleasure of flex tuning on its new link ecu

Pretty typical SR combo that we usually deal with, stock bottom end with hks cams, g25-550 on a 6 boost with 1650cc injectors

Probably one of our most trouble free Dyno tunes in a while, nothing really to fix, just basic setup and a proper flex tune and it was away.

Finished up making:
328hp on 14psi on 98
393hp on 18psi on E85

Marshall 355 Powered VH we had the pleasure of getting tuned up for him this week, when the car was presented for tuning we instantly noticed a visible intake manifold gasket leak.

We always strive to give our customers the best possible results, and rather than ignore it and tune it anyway, we decided to spend the time, pluck the manifold off for a reseal, and check/adjust the valve lash while we were in there.

After we got the engine mechanically ready, we had a look at the jetting, the mixture at cruise and wide open throttle was incredibly rich, actually maxing out our Dyno wideband off the scale.

With the mixture tidied up we optimised the timing, and found 25hp along the way

The converters probably a bit big for the street, but it makes it a blast to drive đź’Ş

Another day another Link ecu wired up and tuned!

We fitted this out with our usual link plugin package and sensor suite, rewired the fuel pump properly and tidied up some other odds and ends.

Being a stock bottom end sr with a set of kelford cams and head studs, power/boost was kept nice and safe.

The td06 was still relatively punchy for an og dinosaur turbo, finishing up at 406hp on 18psi đź’Ş

Another link ecu equipped pocket rocket heading out the door.

This little b18 swapped mini is an absolute riot to drive, with a nice reliable late model Honda engine swapped in, along with the 5 speed box it makes for a great little combination.

Unknown engine specs, but we assume it to be a standard unopened b18

Unfortunately the original Honda ecu was faulty, so we got it fitted up with a link plugin and our usual range of sensors.

Making a nice comfortable 211whp on our hub Dyno đź’Ş

Another big one heading home after a complete build, this LS3 powered VF came to us to diagnose a ticking noise after having a cam package fitted elsewhere in the past, unfortuantley failed lifter roller resulted in a damaged cylinder wall.

Needless to say we were happy to put together a fresh engine combo, filled with quality parts that we know will last.

With a small overbore and normal engine rebuild stuff we saved the bottom end, fitted it out with one of our cam packages to ensure reliability long term, topped off with Cnc ported heads

The results speak for themselves 530whp on 98 fuel

A couple of very tidy classics we had the pleasure of doing some major maintenance on (Yes we do more than just Dyno tuning)

Nice little HZ GTS in for a rear end overhaul, rebuilt braking system and wheel bearings, all new rear end bushes and of course a rebuild of the old quadrajet

67 Chevelle we had in for some very similar works, major service, cooling system overhaul and rear end freshen up. Rebuilt Drum brakes due to failed axle seals, new wheel bearings to go along with them.

Unfortunately the Chevelle rear end was fitted a c clip eliminator kit, resulting in some obscure bearings used - making replacement in Australia very difficult.

However we were able to measure the bearings, and modify the axles to accept a commonly available bearing to make servicing easier in the future.

Need someone who thinks outside the box to keep your classic on the road? We can take care of you!

Tidy little VE clubby we had in for a proper tune last week, always a bit interesting when they’ve been tuned elsewhere.

Pretty typical combo, LS3 with a harrop 2300 and a cam package

This particular car we found all of the torque management for the trans shifting completely disabled, not a super great idea if you want the trans to last.

We also found the wide open throttle tuning to be ok, but the drivability and lighter load tuning left a bit to be desired.

After we got it all cleaned up we checked to see if there was any power left on the table while staying conservative

Finished up making 660whp on 12psi 98 fuel

We only found an extra 30hp, but the drivability difference is night and day.

Another big job wrapped up and back to the customer

Michaels FG came to us completely standard, wanting a reliable package that’ll comfortably make some power without compromising reliability

After removing the engine we got to work tearing it down fitting all our usual Barra upgrades along with some general maintenance stuff.

There’s plenty that goes into building a reliable combo, but the short run down

PSR 3584 gen 3
PSR 45mm external gate
PSR intercooler kit
4” turbo back exhaust
1000cc injectors
Kelford springs and retainers
Billet pump gears and backing plate
ARP Head studs

Keeping things super safe we finished up at 552whp on 16psi on 98 fuel

It’ll be great to see this thing back for some future upgrades to e85 down the road

Commodore kinda week at the shop, finished off with a typical “Just needs a tune” kinda job

This VZ came to us from another shop, after they’d changed a pile of parts without any actual diagnostics, or resolutions.

After 20 minutes of proper diagnosis, we found a sad coil, a slow to respond o2 sensor and some wild fuel trims all resulting from the above.

Once we rectified the mechanical issues, we got it on the dyno and found it actually wasn’t that far off, aside from the fuel pressure dipping up high the tuning actually not bad.

New fuel pump and a touch up of the tune we found some small power gains but a massive drivability improvement.

Finished up just shy of 400whp through the 4l60

Nice and clean VF SS in for the usual Lobley Performance touch

Basic little bolt on combo netting some great power gains

Stock LS3 fitted with:
VCM OTR
Full Exhaust including headers
Custom mafless tuned

Finished up a solid 436whp through the manual, making this a blast to drive
