Link G3 Tune

[spoonza6]

anyone recommend someone or somewhere to tune my 92 Toyota Starlet GT with a few mods and a Link G3 installed???

[rollaholic]

might help to mention where in the country you are

[mjrstar]

if you are auckland based i would be suggesting kent at speedsource in warkworth.

I would recommend Carl Ruiterman from E&H Motors in Pukekohe.
He was telling me about a starlet they tuned the other month. Something rediculous like 230kwatw from a 1.3... crazy

Remember that you will get what you pay for where ever you go.
Pay the good money if you want a car that starts cold/hot and idles well etc etc
Any clown can tune a car to make power.

I'd agree with thats or Bob Homewood at Hytech

I would concur with the above he did a good job on my car as well.

Robin@Torque Performance I would have thought would be another good choice.

It was actually 240wkw on that starlet E&H motors did, stock standard bottom end with ~130km's.

For what it's worth it cracked a piston a couple weeks after that, to be honest was always going to happen with stock pistons and 22psi. Lasted for countless dyno runs and quite some thrashing before it gave up, thumbs up for the work and the tune

So the tune was'nt all that flash if it blew its load a couple of weeks later.I think a good reliable tune that lasts for a long time than a short time is the way to go even if it costs you 10-20 KW as I think it was mentioned earlier I think any competent tuner can tune for a power figure.

I hughly doubt the tune would be the reason for this car giving up the ghost. Would be more to do with the 22psi on the stock bottom end and the thrashing it was giving

You don't think it had anything to do with the engine having to produce 3 times the power it was designed to produce without any strengthening?

Motor is being rebuilt with some tougher internals, should be seeing 250kw on about 25psi. 4e-fte pistons crack ringlands, it's the known weakpoint of the engine. The previous tune (also from E&H) was running close to 180kw at the wheels for a long time. After extensive headwork/cams it was retuned to suit and picked up a lot of power, evidently more than the stock ringlands could handle.

To my knowledge this is the most power anybody has managed from a stock block 4e-fte for more than two dyno runs worldwide.

Don't want to turn into a pissing match about power, just wanted to state that Carl from E&H knows his shit.

[tsoob]

its not the tune

[Lith]

Yeah I wouldn't knock the tuning of a car having its internals fail after making 184wkw/litre - especially after having previously been thrashed for a while making nearly 140wkw/litre. Thats some solid power for a bog stock motor, I've not heard of any other cars in NZ make that power/litre on a stock engine to be honest.

[spoonza6]

impressive
i will go and see Carl and see what he recommends since he has already had a tinker with a G3 in a starlet it wouldnt take long to tune hopefully

cheers for all the info and that 240kw starlet sounds BADASS

heres a pic of it semi finished

go see either carl at E&H Motors as said perviously. he did a mint job on the 240wkw starlet. thats things intense!

other option would be robin at torque performance. hes verry onto it with link computers and is well known. also local for you as well...
