After flashing with the powergate unit, we were having a lot of stuttering and hesitation issues. Felt like ignition cut. Through talking to Sprintex head engineer/tuner we couldn't figure a reason.

In the end I got sick of this situation and went a different rout so I could get my Flex Fuel kit up and running.
No one in Aus offered reasonable priced tuning for Flex Fuel. And no one had as sterling a reputation as some of the US tuners. So naturally I outsourced.

I was forced to buy my EcuTek kit from MRT in Sydney. They took about 3 weeks to get this to me. I hate them.

I chose to go with Delicious Tuning because Zach replied to me pretty much straight away, was upfront with everything and his general attitude was outstanding!!! I cannot vouch enough for these guys.

I didn't go with their flex unit as with shipping etc and the EcuTek kit, I could have bought a Haltech plug and play. So I bought a Zeitronix ECA2 kit with plug and play loom for $600 AUD. We don't have crazy quick disconnect lines for our fuel lines (only simple hose clamps) so all I needed was a couple dollars worth of fuel hose and we were set.

Here's a mid ECA install glamour shot

After it was all tuned, we started logging to get maximum potential from the tune. With every revision it was crazy good!! Absolutely stoked at the power I ended up getting from this kit.

We hit a "snag" with E85 because even though Delicious can usually tune the Sprintex kits on E85 with stock injectors (website states usually around 350whp achievable on stock injectors), I maxed mine out at about 6000rpm!! They were above their safe duty cycle of 85% at around 5000rpm so I wasn't allowed to drive past that point on E85

Sad times.

Skip forward a few weeks and I bought some DW 700CC injectors and installed. Retuned and WHAM the power is unbelievable!!!

Next on the list is:
New clutch
New fuel pump
Nitrous potentially... (still convincing Zach on this ;D)

Some random pictures!!

I found a friend at a music festival

Pretty...

Washing the Chaser while I did some form of mod to my car...
