    Question Cheapest Dyno Tune in Sydney?

    Hi Guys..

    Just wondering if anyone recommends any dyno tuning workshops in and around Sydney/NSW that does it for cheap..

    Would appreciate if replied with details like:

    1. Workshop Name
    2. Your Engine specs
    3. How much it set you back (tune+run)
    4. How much (if known) for each single runs incase returning for further runs after more bolt-ons..

    Thanks heaps!!

    By your avatar I assume you are talking about the VT, and I will assume a V6?

    If you just want a cheap tune, or do you want a decent one? I don't know much about V6's as I've never owned one, but if you want cheap get an ebay chip; it should help your peak power a bit. If it is a V8, then is is a 5.L or GENIII? If it's a GENIII steve from Oztrack does an excellent mail order tune.

    If you want a decent tune work out which mods you want first, it will work out heaps cheaper.

    Mate you guessed right, its a V6..I've already got a CAI, full 2.5" twin exhaust with extractors, highflow cats with straight through and past week just bought a performance chip waiting to go in. I'm also thinking to go for a cam and high ratio rockers from mace in a few weeks time..

    Thats why I was just thinking to put it on a dyno atm to see the output and in order to get the most out of it, get some adjustment in the timing n all...and hence the quest to find a place who'd do it for cheap as opposed to places I got quote of around $1200 which I thought was a bit too steep..provided I wasn't sure if they would be worth the money for the tune..

    It be great to get some recommendations..

    Cheers

    Probably wait till after the cam/rockers to get it tuned properly, cause chances are you'll definitely need it then if you want max out of it.

    Word of advice, when it comes to tuning, going the cheapest route isn't necessarily the best (read - usually never). That definitely doesn't mean that the most expensive is the best but just beware of cheap tuners.

    I think you would be better off trying to determine who good tuners are in Sydney as opposed to who is cheapest. You never know, you might be surprised and find that one of the cheaper places does in fact offer decent tuning capabilities!
