In Everyone's Opinion

[MPSBNE]

Hey guys,
Still trying to make a decision on my 1st mods...need some opinions

MRT XB Kit. This consists of a dump pipe and high flow CAT and ECUTEK Tune from Mercury Motorsport ot

Supply, fit & tune haltech ecu, supply & install dump pipe with 3in mild steel exhaust, modify exising stock airbox - All Star Tuning..

Both offering dyno runs before and after work..

looking at just over 3k for each option!

[Nirvandan]

I would be inclined to go with Mercury Motorsport becuase of the ECUTEK tune.

[TD]

I wouldn't let Mercury touch my car...just saying...

And I wouldn't get a Haltech either...

Drive to Sydney....Tunehouse for the ECUTEK tune...drive it back.

Opion ? is that a drug, can you get me some of that :P ( sorry, had to )

Opinion ?

[MPSBNE]

Hey TD,
ya making me nervous...why wouldn't you let Mercury touch your car...have you had a bad experience...need to go into this eyes wide open & driving to Sydney and back simply isn't an option

[TD]

Google them and use phrases like 'Mercury Motorsport problems'...

Get a well made, CEL free DP. $1000

Get some grip/handling mods. $1000

Contact Chiptorque and ask when their Gen 2 flash tune will be ready.

Mercury - Not a site sponsor.
Allstar - Not a site sponsor.
Chiptorque - Is a site sponsor. (Because Tunehouse isn't an option)

P.S. Not that being a site sponsor means reputable anyway

[Oldhead]

As per above , DP , and check with chiptorque re when is flash available .

Ask Mercury how many gen 2 MPS they have experience with.
I drove to Sydney for Ecuteck @tunehouse and could not be happier, great people ,heaps of experience, and did a great job. Even the owner of Chiptorqe commented how good the tune was.

Finally made a decision!! I'm going to use All Star Tuning...For anyone interested i will be getting the following done..

DP, 3in Mild Steel System with stainless steel muffler, airbox mod ($1950-)
Haltech ecu incl supply, fit & tune ($1200-)

Above includes dyno runs before and after...

I was very tempted to go with Mercury Motorsport because the package they were offering seems like a popular set-up but decided to go with All Star because they seem a little more passionate about MPS's. One thing i'd like to know (maybe a really silly question - so take it easy) but with the haltech ECU tune can you remove/reduce the torque limiter in 1st & 2nd?? And would anyone know how much etra power i will be able to get from these mods?

Am getting the work done in the next few weeks so will post the results once finished!

Well...the day finally came last Wednesday to drop the zoom zoom into All Star for the work...plan was 3 days collecting last Friday...but alas a last minute drama arose with the Haltech interceptor they were fitting. They have had to order a new one in from Sydney and will arrive tomorrow...Brendan gives me the idea that everything will be right by the afternoon....fingers crossed...

They had a new design for the DP on the GenII (was told i wasd the 1st for this) which has produced 18kws more then they were expecting so it will be interesting to see where we end up once the tune is completed! Will post the results...hopefully tomorrow night!!
