Yeah for sure :thumbsup:

pre-tuned 97kw
After real tune 120wk

ppl have said some mixed stuff bout dynodave so i dunno,

"Ivan" from some place in brisbane said something on boost how he dosnt want ppl like me coming to his shop and blamin us for blowing up my engine so yer sounds like there is a background story that needs checking there.

Dynodave does some amazing tunes, and yes u won't have much luck in Brissy for a tuner of your d-series engine most looked at me in amazement that I would even think to do such a thing to my engine as it is time consuming and not the easiest of things to draw power from. Most people I know with d-series turboed do it themselves, it's good practice and all have made great results doing so.

Ivan is the king of the b-series engine in Brisbane imo, I would say go that route as it's simple and about the same price as a turboing your stock d-series engine. Just my 2c as I've sourced every option for my EJ8 and turboing the std D16Y8 was the most expensive, time consuming of them all with the K20 swap included which for the same power is amazingly enough the same price!

yer im just going by what i hear..
but for the type of engine ur exactly right. it will be alot harder to find someone who knows whats going on with this particular engine. but who knows i might get lucky.

but yer turbo will in both the long and short term will be the most expensive.

just note that the emanage is a pain to wire. You can get a harness but it doesn't work straight away. Luke can explain.
I'd run hondata or PFC and i know James & Adrian fly around to tune, depending on how many tunes they can do.

why not look into this one

all you need is a proper ECU, injectors, fuel pump. Its got most of the main parts.
Not too badly priced & in your state

It dose in fact, they just don't setup the e-mange or have clear info on how to but I've worked it all out now :thumbsup:

Its a combo of setting to get it all working right and now I know how its done is quiet simple but it was driving me mad for a while heheh

thanks dude.. going to try organise with him to have a look and take a mechanic along with me see if he thinks its worth it...

If that turbo-kit is no good, and you wouldn't mind paying a little extra for brand new bolt-on, you can go and see a guy name Marco@autobahn macgregor. He has sourced many greddy parts and should be able to source you the turbo-kit for a competitive price and also have warranty. He works sunday - thursday. Know's a thing or 2 about cars and products.

Hope that helps you

thanks 7ypeR.. iv pmd that other guy and will just wait for him to respond

turbo it, could turn out heaps cheap with good connections on parts

Lol you serious man? a turbo d the same price as a k conversion? where were you getting your prices?


In terms of tuners. I am not going to say Who is good and who is bad... BUT... In MY experience. I tried many many times to contact dave, Email, phone, sms.... Said i had money to spend, no expense would be cut. No calls back nothin. I Contacted james and got instant reply, gave me free (unbiased) advice and even took a quick look at my current tune.

As i said, not saying who is good and who is shit. Just my experiences.

:thumbsup:

Sexc86 on the money

Dave's so hard to contact is not funny though I've hear he's quite good..

James also gave me good free advice no questions asked.. but he's not in my state..

Adrian from TODA has been the most approachable IMO so I've stuck with him, plus he knows my setup and what's happened thus far...

Best bet is to find someone who you feel you connect with and say with them...
