So, i found a Midlands tuner, Greg at Protuner with good feedback and eventually managed to book him to tune the R.
Due to his workload i waited 2 months but then on the day, due to personal reasons he cancels! Fair enough, these things happen, but my R still hasnt been professionally looked at since i rebuilt it.
Anyway, i want to stick with the stock ECU so theres no remapping, so how hard can it be to tune it?
A few facts first;
It has an Apexi boost controler, CP forged pistons, quaife box, ACL race bearings and mechanically runs fine, in fact ive clocked up 2000miles now.
The only tuning i did was set the timing at 20deg tdc after rebuild.
Last month Mike adjusted the Apexi and lowered the boost to .7
So can anyone tell me some basic steps i could take to achieve maybe 300 from it?
Right now it feels like im only getting about 200 from it.
Timing; is 20 tdc right?
Fueling; how do i adjust this?
Apexi; what should i adjust this to?
How do i check for boost leaks?
How do i check vac leaks?
Or better still, can anyone in the midlands do this?
