Outer Limits 4x4 Board

could i have some feedback about various dyno tuners around the sunshine coast (priority) and brisbane areas. places to go and people to talk to. even places NOT to go.

has anyone had experience with these guys? problems?

Custom Offroad, Kunda Park
WM motorsport, Brendale (have chatted with warren, great bloke)

any opinion or experience will be taken on board.

cheers

haha..
yes and no....

depends on how you get along with them and what mood they are in...

they do great work but sometimes just get lazy and stuff it up... watch the warranty..

cheers mark

ARB at Gympie are ment to be good, sold my rano before getting to take it there though ....

ive heard good things about gympie as well and talking to him he seems to know what he's on about. if all your after is a big hp readout chapmans are good for that but if your after economy or reliabity dont bother plus they take about a week to return your phone call just to book it in
alan blair auto in noosa have a dyno, but they will only tune na petrol, mostly v8's as they only stick with what they know

actually i would like to know a bit more about ARB in gympie. they are only down the road. but so far i dont know anyone that has been there.

my mate ownes a mechanic shop in pomona and he took his td 80 series there and said they were awesome. they cleaned the injectors and made it a shitload better both in power and fuel economy. Can't remember the dyno fiqures but it was pretty good.

chapmans couldnt tune a forking head unit let alone a diesel motor

i live in Pomona i might have to go up and have a chat to the gympie guys. definitely NOT going to chapmans, with the stories i hear lately. they tuned my tb42 and did alright, but replaced a lot of shit i didnt think was necessary. but not taking my diesel there.

PAUL

Mate i would use WM Motorsport Warren is a legend. He tuned my truck would never take it to anyone else. It goes really well.

Oh its a TD42t non intercooled

Cheers

i have also had bad experiences with chapmans, they can get good power figures but forget reliability or economy.

Gympie dyno is actually a diesel fitter so should know what he is doing.

hmm...the only thing about warren is how far away he is. i may just take it to gympie and have a chat to them first, get to know what they know. but whatever i decide ill let you all know who and how it went. in the meantime, keep the opinions coming.

PAUL

Ill be getting my td lux tuned there sometime in the next few weeks so I will let all know how it goes. Have only heard good reports so far.


They have shithouse salesman though.
