GOLF R Tuned By BPS in Brisbane

[Guy_H]

The problem with that is we don't know if the tuner has put race fuel in, if the tuner is running an HPFP etc..

I'd want one stock car i.e. YOURS REXman and everyone flash their tunes on, best performing tune gets to stay on your car, you don't spend a cent on the tune, but you get the most powerful flash for free as a thank you for lending your car!

Thats why you include the data logging, race fuel, fuel rail pressure would be detected in seconds. I'm sure you could trust the owners of the cars to be honest? The raw data is also given (logs & dyno raw files) so the owners can draw up their own comparisons.

In the past, you see a lot of differences in the timing pull & projected EGT's

The days we have done previously included all that data, as well as starting intake temps (and finishing) to try to make sure each car started on the same level, and how quick it could be effected by heatsoak.

I have spoken with BPS this afternoon and will be flashing my car back from the APR tune and leaving it with James for the week. I will be sure to post comparative results as I will be doing APR current Vs his tune.

This sounds very interesting.. same car and everything! And completed results a day or 2 apart so we dont have disadvantages with heat.

Nice going Jimjaroo

I notice from your site you use Dimsport Genius and RACE EVO. I had a Race emulator many years ago, was a top bit of kit. Much better that the OLS300 that I use now. Dim sport have been very good at keeping up with the TriCore tuner protect controllers. I use Frieling tool and BS Crossfire with good old OLS. I have been doing this since 1985-86 things have moved on so much. Even in the last 2 years the new MSV80.## DME and MED/EDC17.## are getting harder and harder to tune (and expensive) Just buying the checksums is like a home loan repayment!!

Tell me about it but Like you guys we have found you have to use a few products to get the job done properly and we use OLS as well for the more intricate work like RS4 injectors swaps which the other stuff can't do perfectly. Anyway I'll be keen to see how the R goes vs the ones we are doing, to me the stock FMIC is not helping timing top end at all. I can see from your dyno runs you use the dynodynamics properly too. Proper shootout mode and proper Inlet temps - all good

I sure this would be a great way to showcase all our abilities. No internet connection allowed

Why would you do that? I would have thought that one of the reasons for doing this would be to showcase the difference between fully customised tunes vs off the shelf ones.

You just need to clearly list which category each tune belongs in.

He was trying to be a smartass by saying only the custom coding companies would be able to produce a tune and all the off the shelf products wouldn't be possible. Normally what happens is you scan the ECU send the details to a server or a person, who then authorises it and sends you the file.

Talking of front mounts, Kevin at Process West (have a look at his gear omg) is willing to set up and make a replacement unit. He needs a donor car for 3-4 days to mock up. Then bring the car back in 5-6 weeks for the fit up. We have been using his Ford stuff for some time and it just beautifully made.

The car I'm doing atm is from wollongong actually hmm I wonder if I could twist the owner into an upgrade and one of my own cars is from the place next door to PW and its FMIC is made by Kevin when he was at Hyperflow. Weird world

I use "off the shelf" Tuning with Superchips, i do however see myself venturing into the custom stuff later perhaps, now lets not forget the "off the shelf stuff started as a standard EEPROM on a car and had all the writing done then live. So they had to start somewhere, they dont just magic themselves. Im all up for the custom stuff and i know James well and he does good stuff and is a geezer. Ill be up for bringin a Superchipped R too when you guys are going to run your thing, also be good to see the comparisons anyway.
Staying tuned, pardon the pun

So when is this Tuner dyno battle day occurring?
