Just picked my car up from JPC today... Known this guy (Mark) for quite a few years now. Great bloke and he certainly knows his stuff. He'd be on top of my list for anyone who wants work done to their Patrol.
That's not bad an effort but I get 120.0+plus kW's too
I wish they put torque figures up on the TD runs aswell
My car got fully tuned on that very dyno. I had a video but lost it on the phone. And as Mudski said, that bloke Mark knows his stuff.
I'll ask if they can do it today. ..Quote:

I think $150 not 100% but there are two mobs north of Melb One is better then the other
do all your mods then get it Dynoed then you'll get the best out of your mods
Jpc charge $120 to put your car on there dyno and run it to know what your car is doing.... if you want work done then that all depends??
On my TD42 they have charged me $330 to run the car on the dyno and tune it..... from being an NA then bolting on a turbo and intercooler it was flat out getting 68 kws then after the tune was sitting at 88 kws.
I don't think you can really tune a CRD much by default, at least to my knowledge. I know Mark from JPC spoke to me about tuning the MAF. Something about a diode and voltage tinkering to better "tune" air/fuel ratios... I don't know what purpose though, I can't remember.Quote:

He got much more out of it, but backed it off a little. The car was a completely different beast afterwards.

Do you recall which place is better john? My dad took his LC105 to Turboengineering in Thomastown awhile ago and wasn't overly impressed.... They tried to turn a simple dyno and tune booking into a $3000 upgrade jobQuote:

Turbo engineering are a bunch of pricks and have not heard one good thing about them....
Wow that's a massive increase,much better to drive as well i cld imagine! Do you mind if I askhow much that set up cost you? I have heard really good things about the unichips compared to other brandsQuote:

Needless to say, I walked out thankfully.
I'm yet to hear a positive thing about that joint. Mudskis neighbor is another awesome example, they shafted him big time fixing his D40 navara replacing fuel innjectionr parts and it ended up being a simple sensor from memory.
JPC is down the road from them, and can have my $ any day.
The blank chip, fitted and fully tuned to the car on the dyno was about $1800 from memory. That included 3-4 hours of Dyno as well. This isn't bad considering some off the shelf generic tuned chips are $1500-ish.Quote:

They quoted a mate up the street here Upwards of $6000 to rebuild an engine for an over heating issue.... new thermostat and a radiator flush and the car has not missed a beat.

Yeah sweet that's a pretty good result. Hopefully get the overheating issues sorted before Krissos trip. Only been JPC once but were very happy with the service and $$$. . . . Happy Dayz.
If this the one I'm thinking of. On settlement rd near the Quiks servo, I'll been there once, only once.Quote:

What actual brand of hoses are they though. If they are Gates or even Dayco, there will be nothing wrong with them. Sold Gates product for 18years, repped for them for two years. I would even say their quality of product is the same as OEM for 90% of their range.Quote:

must have some good torque figures I reckon too
So happy to see on here that JPC has earned a very decent reputation in the performance car and 4wd industry. They may not be the cheapest work shop out there but i can vouch first handedly you always get what you pay for there. I can count the amount of times Mark and his staff have openely helped me out with the odd glitch or two on my vehicle and have never even asked me for a dollar for it. Mark has definitely earned his great reputation in the industry due to his extensive knowledge and helpful character in both performance and 4wd sectors.
I met Mark originally through a mate of mine and the redt is history. I currently own marks very own GU Patrol wagon that is twin locked auto with 4.6 diff gears.
We are currently in the process of installing a BF Xr6 turbo engine and we are looking for a comfortable 300rwkw.
Now that i have found this thread i will be sure to post a video of my vehicle on here when it is on there dyno.
Kind Regards
Georgie
They are good. Get no frills advice and work there every time.. my car is almost part of the furniture in there lol. Most of the day yesterday included ...Quote:
