Dyno tuners Perth region

United fuel injection is name of a diesel fuel injection business in Perth, They are very good at what they do, I have used them before when I lived in W.A. For years.(shark bay). Cheers.

Sparra answered the United Injection question. No, don't have snorkel.
My idea was to check Dyno people as opposed to taking it to dealer who will tell me, " that's the way it is". I also have catch can.
What I can't understand is how can there be a great variation in fuel economy from two similar vehicles. I don't drive hard, I appreciate the 80kg canopy will increase wind resistance but not so much for suburban driving. Thanks.

You said,
"I'm familiar with United Injection but I think there more into pre common rail ECU".
In Perth you might have a place called United injection but it read differently to me.
If you meant THEY ARE more into pre common rail stuff then the "there" means over there which I read as there is other types of injection. The're means something different. So I mentioned the various types of injection concepts, whereas, you are talking about their business. Funny how a word can change the meaning isn't it?
If using the BT50 around suburbs I would expect that to be relatively normal fuel usage, depending on the stop start frequency involved and accellerating with traffic. If you notice smoke from the exhaust you have to be pressing more than is actually needed to speed up. ANY smoke out a diesel exhaust is $$$$$ for no benefit. If accellerating slower and more progressive, you then aren't asking the ECU to deliver a larger than required squirt of fuel, the turbo will speed up and match the fuel input and you will hardly get any smoke, negligible amount and a $$$$$ saving too. Most people flop the throttle open and back off when they feel some action, worst way to do it!
Start slow and the system will bring up turbo revs and boost level THEN it has the ability to burn more efficiently without wastage/smoke and you can bury the pedal when ON boost and it should compensate with hardly any smoke at all. Everything which happens before boost is fully operational cost $$$$$. Unfortunately it is difficult to train drivers to conciously do this.
If you have bigger rims / larger OD tyres or wider tyres that too will add to fuel costs.

As RMD replied, a remap can help more than trying other things. I put my D-max on the Dyno and was a bit shocked at the low KW of power & torque at the rear wheels. took it back to the Dyno after the remap and it was a completely different ute. heaps of power heaps more torque and great fuel economy. Done a lap since it was remapped towing a 2.3T van with nil issues and great fuel economy again. The only advice I followed was to fit a snorkel and an EGT gauge. it's never got anywhere near 500C.
So far worth the money on the remap.

Thanks guys, and RMD, from the knowledgeable feed back I've got regarding driving styles, conditions and perceived improvement in economy I'm after, I'll probably buy a lot of diesel for the cost of Dyno Tuning for possibly little improvement in economy. I forgot to add roof rack and higher profile tyres on my machine which would account for higher fuel usage.

They are not cheap, I only got mine done as repairing my stuck-closed egr valve was only $500 cheaper than a performance tune that included egr deletion. Changing the stuck egr would have made no noticeable difference to the car, effectively I got the tune done for $500!!! I definitely wouldn’t get one for the sole purpose of fuel economy gains. The drivability changes are well worth it in my books, especially if you’re heavily loaded or towing.

Just a follow up. 2nd tank got 13.2L/100km including playing in the sand dunes for a couple days near Jurien Bay. 3rd tank around town in normal use is 12.1L/100km. So far looks like approx. 0.5L/100km saving with lots more usable power.

I’m happy with that!!
