i am not happy with the way the engine sounds, so i asked TEKNO TUNER as 3rd party to do a pre-race confirmation check

i am at bali during this time, shooting Tugu Hotel, and indra has been very informative and helpful in everything and answering all my questions. he call me every hour or two to confirm with me before making any changes and he is a perfectionist when it comes to engine.... after spent hours talking to him i am ready to let him handle my engine...

what i normally get from the past indonesian tuner is "leave it to us! no need to ask too many questions as we know what we are doing...." or "if you don't trust us bring it somewhere else"... i was abit shock with these mentality but i had no other choices as i have limited contacts in jakarta...

but what i hear from Indra Santoso from Tekno Tuner was "what do you want from this engine? what are your needs? what else do you want to know? have i answered your questions". i was pleased and very confident all of sudden... after 6 months wait, and after 3 workshop changes for the past 2 years, i think i finally found my ideal tuner... someone who are open for discussion, and able to give calculation to back up his theory... a proper engine builder/tuner...

first, i ask Indra to dyno the engine before he touch it. i was shocked by the poor result... the inital M20B25 2500cc was 167HP and now with 2900cc M20B29, it only made 200hp... with flat spot on the curve.... i am furious....




i asked indra to open the head and not to open the bottom end because i am afraid there won't be enough time

first mistake that Tekno Tuner found was: after the intake port was enlarged, ported and polish, the gasket that was put in between is still original size *smack head*


inspecting the condition and the quality of the head work



what has past is the past, so i will spend time moving forward rather than hassling about the bad past...

indra also found that the gearbox still crunching on 2nd and 3rd, he replaced mine with one of his spare box...
