We had Adam at BARUTTA FABS wagon in for tuning after finally convincing him to put it on E85.

The car has had a few small changes and it has yielded some great results.

The car has had the following changed;
•Custom alloy welding fg style inlet manifold
•4" dump - full 3.5" exhaust system
•Process west surge tank with a single 525
•S.P custom E85 calibration.

The car managed a best of 497kw but at that power level we were out of injector so we wound the boost back slightly to give us some margin for safety.

We have also tailored the boost curve and ignition curve to try and maintain traction but also keep the clutch alive.

The single plate xtreme hd clutch is hanging on for dear life and a twin plate npc is potentially on the cards.

All in all the car is an absolute rocket ship now and we are wrapped with the results.

We had this very cool xd circuit car in for tuning today in preparation for its maiden voyage to Bathurst in a few weeks.

With a pre run of 115kw and it clipping the factory speed limiter at 180kmh, we got the tune sorted and managed a best of 152kw on 98oct fuel.

The car still has the factory exhaust manifold and a 2 1/4 inch side pipe so there is definitely some gains to be had with a set of extractors and 2.5" exhaust.

Credit to the owner for putting together such a unique car.

We had Bens XD back on the dyno for its annual drag challenge check up and rescaling injectors to suit the new 1650s.

After a few runs and some magic touches we managed a best of 490kw on 23.5 psi through the powerglide.

The torque converter in this car is exceptionally slippery so the power number it's showing we believe is on the lower side.

A run down the 1/4 will quickly verify how much power the car truly makes.

The car consists of some very basic mods.

Gas motor
Ba xr6t ecu
Borgwarner S372sxe
Aeroflow intercooler
Twin 044 fuel pumps and fuel cell
6boost exhaust manifold
Fg turbo inlet manifold
1650cc bosch injectors
Studs
Springs
Pump gears
Powerglide
9" diff
Mono leaf + caltracs

We are definitely getting to the pointy end of the intercooler so the dream is the car runs consistent 10.0s on drag challenge due to the car not being teched to go any faster yet.

We had Kaans fg turbo in for a retune after having a surge tank fitted and we were shooting for 480-500kw but sadly fell short due to chinese valve springs floating at 24psi.

We turned the Boost down to 22 psi and ended up with 447kw and no valve float.

The car has very basic list of modifications,
•Head studs
•Valve spring
•PSR 3584 with external gate kit
•Bosch 1150cc injectors
•Antz stage 2 intercooler
•Antz battery relo
•Antz turbo back 3.5" exhaust
•XR6TD surge tank with 2x 525s
•GFB drop in regulator
•S.P custom E85 calibration
•S.P custom zf calibration

A set of Crow camshafts, valve springs and 1650cc are potentially on the cards for this sporty fg so stay tuned to see it crack 500kw+

We had Timmy's AMC rambler in for a custom E85 calibration and it was a roller coaster of emotions.

Timmy brought the car to us originally fitted with a ba ecu which ended up being faulty. (Boy was that fun to diagnose)

The ba ecu had all sorts of unexplainable fueling, stalling and idling issues so we swapped over to a bf pcm to make tuning far easier and the car more reliable.

The car consists of the following,
•Fg turbo engine
•Crow valve springs
•head studs
•Boundary oil pump gears and backing plate
•Bosch 1150cc injectors
•Top half plenum
•Kelford 218B camshafts
•Twin walbro 460 fuel pumps in a fuel cell.
•Built BTR + 3200 stall
•GT3582 with IWG
•China intercooler
•Custom 3" exhaust

After dialing in the all the low down and driveability portion of the calibration we got to work doing some WOT runs and it became apparent very quickly the intercooler was not up to the task.

We were faced with inlet air temps of over 80 Deg C and we had absolutely no interest in trying to lean on this setup any further in its current form.

For longevity and safety we left the boost at wastegate pressure (10 psi).
We did try and give it a run on 15 psi and it actually lost power due to the iat screaming past 90deg so we did not complete a full pull.

We made sure the iat corrections were tightened right up and ran it quite rich up top to keep the tips on the spark plugs and the cast pistons as happy as they can be.

The car is off to compete in a drag and drive event in the next couple of weeks and will be returning shortly to us with a different intercooler so we can see what this sled has left in the tank.

Timmy's goal is 500hp at the wheels and with sufficient intercooling we think thats more then achievable.

If you need your barra tuning sorted out,
be sure to shoot us a message and we will be more then happy to help and guide you to achieve your goal.

We had Adam from Barutta Fabs work ute in for a custom engine and auto calibration this week after they had carried out some tasteful modifications to this absolute beast of a falcon ute.

We ran the car up with the stock file and it produced a respectable 120kw even with the much larger tyres.

The car has the following mods fitted,
•RTV diff and suspension
•31" all terrains
•Extractors and a full custom 2.5" exhaust.
•Rajab racing top half plenum
•custom cold air intake

We optimised the fueling and ignition timing which yielded a very healthy 27.7kw gain on 98 octane fuel, last but not least we also sharpened up the BTR 4 speed and it has transformed the way the car drives.

With its new found power and torque this thing is ready to be the ultimate daily/work/camping rig and we look forward to gently convincing adam to turbo it in the not to distant future.

We had Matts GU patrol in this week for a 98 octane calibration and engine break in.

We got started with a base file and Quickly found the car had a minor vacuum leak.
After rectifying the vac leak and double checking the wastegate actuator preload we got to work running the engine in while dialing in the tune.

Matts goal is to engineer the car so we kept the tune emissions compliant, this did however make things a little tricky as the car has a euro 6 cat fitted which ended up being a very large exhaust restriction so power was severely limited.

The car is fitted with the following,
•Built engine
•Bosch 1150s
•Head studs
•Valve springs
•Oil pump gears
•Garret gtx3582
•IWG75
•Water to air intercooler
•3.5" dump & mid section to 3" tail pipe
•S.P 98 calibration

After an oil change we started to dial in the wide open throttle portion and ended up with a best of 166kw.
With boost and power both rolling over very early and knock just starting to creep in, we were not game to lean on the engine whatsoever.

Once the car has been engineered, the cat will be replaced with a 100 cell item and we can start to wind some boost in it.

We also struggled with the water to air intercooler as the inlet air temp lived between 55-70deg.

We gave Matt a list of a few little things that need attention before the car comes back for some more power.

All in all it was a very successful day, and all the credit goes to Matt for putting together a very solid car.

Keep an eye out for when this thing makes a return and really cranks out some numbers.

We had this work horse of an FGX XR6T ute in for our "stage 1" package and have ended up with some fantastic results.

The car was delivered to us in stock trim and we wasted no time bolting on some very basic mods to breathe a bit more life into this old girl.

We fitted the following items;
•Venom 3" cat pipe
•Bosch 1150cc injectors
•340lph fuel pump
•Fuel filter replacement
•S.P airbox modification
•S.P custom 98 calibration
•S.P custom zf calibration

This car does have 275,000ks on it so we did not chase the boost to hard out the back as reliability is always our #1 goal.

If your looking to put a bit more pep in your falcons step, get in contact with us and we can tailor a package to suit your goal and budget.

We had lukes fg drift car on the rollers for a S.P E85 tune.
With the Engine being unopened apart from valve springs, we got to work dialling in this absolute sled.

With a few random issues sorted out, we finished up with 356kw on 14.5 psi.

The engine mods consist of our tried and true set up.
Bosch 1150cc injectors
6boost style high mount manifold
Crow valve springs
Pulsar gtx3582 with external gate
044 style fuel pump and surge tank
3.5" turbo back exhaust
Tr6060 gearbox
M86 3.45 locker

We can't wait to see this thing destroying tires around calder park once the car is finished off with a roll cage and lock kit.

If you need your car tuned, be sure to get in touch as we tune a wide variety of platforms and ecus.

We received a message from a customer in the USA asking if we would be willing to remote road tune their factory barra ecu set up in a gorgeous 69 torino GT.

Of course the answer was yes, so we got to work doing what we do best.
With no surprise the results have been epic.

The engine combo is the following;

A forged fg engine.
Factory fg na computer.
Bosch 1250cc injectors.
Pulsar gtx3584 on a tubular high mount Manifold.
Turbosmart 60mm gate.
400lph fuel pump
For boost control there was a trusty a boost T.
S.P custom 93/98oct calibration.

With the number 1 priority being reliability, we have a peak of 18psi and very soft ign timing. With the car being road tuned we don't have a definitive power number but it will be between 540-570hp.

It has been an absolute pleasure refining the tune on this extremely well put together beast
And this is all thanks to the owner Gabor.

The tuning process has been essentially faultless.

We will continue to refine the tune for Gabor and make sure everything continues to play nicely for many years to come.
