Hi Guys

to all melbournites
Im about to tune my c63 at evolve im locked in for tomorrow

im getting it done for a good deal they say it will go from standard kw to 375

does that sound about right??? do you think i should go ahead

ds2k

whats getting done?...sounds like great power gains.. how much they charginh you for this "good deal"?

Pickles

Very interesting. Do you have P31?
Is that Evolve Technique, & is that place operated by Peter Mcleod?
Let us know the details, what power & torque you get etc?...and of course, how the car feels after.
Before & after readings would be good.
Cheers, Pickles.

mr747

no p31 its operated by peter fitzgerald

Pickles

"Fitzgerald"?..... Of course it is!!...well, I got it half right.....yeah, he's had a lot of experience with Euro stuff, so you should be right there.
So, like I said, let us know what happens?
Cheers, Pickles.

ok so i took the car in today and when i picked it up i had a smile
The car just frys the tyres 1st till the end of 2nd i didnt know what to expect but im happy

The car feels like it shifts harder and there is heaps of tq it just pulls

Thats the only way i can describe it

The also sold me a 2nd hand carbon intake which looks the part and it has wider intake tubes that run to the front im not sure if it will make a difference but who knows

Does anyone use BMC filters i havernt put the filters in yet and i havernt taken the charcol filters out

IM not sure if i should do this or not

ds2k

so what did you get done exactly and cost? how much power gain did you walk out with?

mr747

I walked out witha e63/ml63 375Kw tune and a carbon airbox 2500aud

Francesco 6.3

so how much did it end up costing?

mr747

2500

Anyone able to do it in Sydney?

mr747

there are plenty of shops in sydney to do this sort of work

If i lived there id be going to autowerks ive heard good things about that shop

charliekay

I am in Sydney as well and looking at getting a tune and maybe some other work done as well.

I have heard good things about Autowerks as well but I am wondering if there is anyone in Sydney who does the MHP tunes/headers.

They are getting some good gains plus they have been tried and tested over and over and have held up excellently.

Pickles

If ya're in Sydney, there is only one guy.....Sonny.
Cheers, Pickles.

Does anyone have any dyno and/or 1/4 mile figures from Sonnys work?

RNS-11Z

I had mhp tune, with autowerks headers. My best et was 11.8@118mph. With bps tune autowerks headers, 11.9@120mph. With autowerks tune and headers 11.7@121mph. My time slip is posted in the oz section. When I ran my 11.7 I had my 20s on the front.

Personally, I would not go with a mhp tune. We have better options locally. Also mhp headers won't fit our cars as its made for lhd cars.

Best thing to do would be to go & see him & have a chat.
Unfortunately, I'm in Melbourne, but I know a guy in Syney with a C63 & he wouldn't go anywhere else...Sonny has an awesome reputation....not the cheapest....but unsurpassed quality....like I said....go & see him.
Cheers, Pickles.

charliekay

Thank you H,

At least now I have some solid results from Autowerks to compare with other tuners.

Time to get some pricing and make a decision.

I also had my car tuned by Sonny, best money I ever spent. Had a tune done by another shop previously and had nothing but problems, Sonny is the only guy I would use and recommend

I tuned mine at Ramspeed few month ago..... but i can't feel any differences...
and cost me 2000....

mr747

im going calder on the next meet in full stock form

hopefully the weather will get better soon

Onnzo

Hey fellow melbournites. I just bought an 09 cs3 but have to wait until Thursday to pick it up Im interested in the result of the tune too but will drive it stock for a while before tuning.
