24.01.2022 Cael's very clean xr6 turbo with only 60,000kms on the clock was in for a battery relocation, turbo side intake, service, upgrade a couple bushes and a custom tune. Having previously been tuned elsewhere and having fuel system upgraded we got to work tuning with PCMTEC Leaving with a healthy 299rwkw. Picking up about 30 rwkw and 80nm of torque will make for a fun car to drive

23.01.2022 We had the pleasure of tuning Dave's beautiful LJ torana. Having previously run 9.8 @137 with a carby, Dave made the switch to a holley terminator set up. We picked up a heap of power through the mid range, which is right where dave launches off the 2step with his 5200 convertor. The little 421 cubic inch SBC punched out a healthy 361rwkw @7700RPM on VP 109 race fuel through the big convertor, big tyres and 411 diff gears. Cant wait to see this run at the next meeting... #mjshouseofhorsepower **TURN THE VOLUME UP AND LISTEN TO THE TORANA SING STRAIGHT OUT THE EXTRACTORS**

22.01.2022 We had the pleasure of making some horsepower on Julian's immaculate FG xr6 turbo. Julian does a couple track days here and there so he wanted to have great efficiency from the car. Coming in with 270rwkw tuned elsewhwere and wanting to make 300rwkw we gave him a very healthy 337rwkw and 730nm of torque. We back to back a few runs, all making consistently over 330rwkw. List of mods... - Process west fromt mount intercooler and pipe kit - Custom highflow garrett turbo, orginal front comp cover - 1000cc injectors - Walbro fuel pump and fuel pressure regulator - High flow cat As well as horsepower Julian also wanted some reliability and maintenance work done so we carried out the following - Pwr trans cooler and our oil filter modification - Superpro front upper and lower control arms - Superpro front caster arms - MJ's inhouse wheel alignment to suit road and track use.

21.01.2022 Congratulations to Doug on setting another new PB yeaterday with his fresh built DSR Performance zf box at Heathcote Park Raceway yesterday. 10.0@141mph driven to and from the track.
