    how can you be running rich & lean at the same time? as for dyno tuning, a zed is no different to another jap car. Anyone who has any clue should be able to tune it.

    How do you know it is running rich/lean?

    There is a place on the main drag just outside Caloundra (heading toward Landsborough) with a dyno out the back of Ultratune. Went to a dyno day there last year.

    my fuel consumption is way out the window now even tho i replaced o2 sensors ect driving u can just smell the fuel i thort i had a leak so i replaced all fuel lines still haven trouble. no one in my local area will touch it because they to hard to tune apparently so i m willing to take in to brisbane if need be.

    You've cocked something up, you more likely need fault finding than a tune. A tune when the car isn't right mechanically is a large waste of money.

    TRy EFI performance at Stapleton, they are good. Do you have Nistune or just standard ECU?

    Still sounds like mechanical issue to me. Would be interesting to see what the current tune is like if its chipped, but in reality it should drive very similar to before you fiddled with things. Those aftermarket jap chips/ecus are often quite rich. Also run way too much timing.
