Hey guys,

Thanks in advance.

i had mine done at PITS

How much does it approximately cost? for say I/E.

Thanks.

Think its about $200 p/hr mine took almost 6 hours. make sure you get Dave's harness or you'll have problems

he has a celica so no need for the harness :)

Very observant :P

Wow! I thought tuning would cost sub 1k, would it take less time since i have a celica and don't have the problems with harness, temp gauge settings?

Celica/Sportivo has no bearing on how long it takes to complete the tune. I'm a little suprised it took Matt 6 hours though as he's tuned a few PFC 2zz's...

6 Hours seems long, unless he had some issues with it, or wanted the tune perfected?

My tunes have been 2-3 hours from Matt Spry.

999 have done the 2zz-ge before, but not sure on how good they are. Crossley's have also done a 2zz, but not sure if they still have the same tuner that did it, CHA54 might know?

Paul is still at Crossley's, he's the owner ;) He does nice safe tunes which wont leave you with a popped engine.

I believe Steve did the tuning on Matt's car a few years ago.

I'll be taking my turbo 2zz to Paul to get the top end dialed in

I'm actually wanting to spend my tax return on something and I originally decided on PPE headers + full custom mid pipe (hi flow cat and resonator). I already have done my custom magnaflow axel back exhaust.

That however is going to cost around the vicinity of 1-1.5k....

Getting the Apexi Power FC (possibly second hand) and tune might go for about the same as well.

Anyone have any advice on which I should go for if I'm on a budget?

Thanks.

If on a budget? I'd go the exhaust option. If you go the ECU option you'd probably want to retune it after mods to get more power out of them. That said, I found the mid range gains from a tune to be awesome; I haven't had an exhaust fitted so don't know what the gains are like with it. Only car with the exhaust done was Northy's Sportivo and it had all the bolt ons you could bolt on, it went hard though.

I bought the ECU just yesterday hahaha....

What mods did you have and what typical gains did you get if you don't mind me asking?

Thanks.

I've got a couple dyno sheets in my ride thread, click on the image in my signature to link to it.

Peak gains were minimal for me, but gained a lot mid range. I'm up about 15kW at 6000rpm.

Only enigne mods I have are the Piper stage 2 cams.

..............until it went TOO hard. :P :lol:

Did it blow? lol...

I was running my Power FC on base map before and I'm not quite sure if it was knocking.

Driving around normally I registered knock levels of below 15 but then at LIFT full throttle and hard shift I registered max knock of 45.

I better get it tuned first...

      overheated engine

      I drive a 2010 series 200 sahara V8 automatic. I recently towed a small caravan on a not that hotter day. The temperature gauge went to about half then dropped back to normal. The motor then went into limp mode and eventually stopped. On lifting the bonnet i noticed the top radiator tank had split all the way across. I have only two months ago had the complete cooling system checked with no defects. I called the RAA in South Aust and they tried to start it but just turned over but did not fire up. It was still pretty hot. I have been told the motor would be ruined by overheating. The car has been sitting at the repairers for 5 days now and as far as i know it has not been attempted to start. Before putting a new motor in it would it be worth putting a new radiator in it and see if it will fire up? Open to any suggestions at this stage.

      1996 Trueno XZ - Is it worth modding?

      Depends on how common/rare they are in your part of the world. The XZ trim was the second-lowest so didn't come with most of the fun bits that the full-fruit BZG/V/R models did, so it's not anywhere near as desirable stock but sometimes you have to make do with what you can find, plus you shouldn't feel as guilty modding the heck out of it since most of it isn't special.

      VSC, Traction Control, Check Engine lights all on

      I attended Toyota Preston for Aurion ATX 2013 major service today. Cost $~$1300. On the way home I stopped to pick up dinner. Two fault lights: engine and VSC lights came on when I restarted the car. Car drove home just fine. I can only return the car tomorrow for them to sort out. Annoyed. Let’s see if they’re still on in the morning.

      Hi everyone, new member to the group and owner driver of a nifty little Toyota Sprinter Trueno XZ, now this was my cousins car, I bought it off him and after various drives, I have come to the decision that this needs alot of love. Now I am wondering if its worth putting my time and money into doing this certain make n model up or should I just buy a different car to do up? I am not very car-inclined so I really don't know a lot. Any opinions would be very helpful Thankful!

      Android auto

      OK. Does any of Toyota's advertising material mention Android Auto? If so then kick up a stink, with Toyota management, about misrepresentation and false advertising, reminding them of the hefty fines. Herb
