Any good rotary tuner in ottawa area?

Hi guys!

I'm in need of a good rotary tuner at ease with microtech and that's got a dyno ( for sure ). I live nearly a hour from montreal so I dont wanna make the trip all the way down to the toronto area

If you know somebody, please leave his webpage and some feedbacks about your experiences with this guy

thanks a lot

There are NO rotary tuners in the Ottawa area.
Craig Simms from Pace Auto apparently can do MT's, but I'm not sure you could classify him as a Rotary Tuner...

And he has no Dyno (last I saw). You'd be paying him to show up at Tapp or somewhere like that. You'd be better off taking a road trip to find a proper tuner who has their own dyno - or getting in on a dyno day where a tuner visits for the day.

Chris Tapp has actually never tuned a Rx7, yes there has been quite a few Rx7s tuned on his dyno but I believe it wasnt him tuning them.

And i believe he wouldnt be bad at all at tuning, just that its always good to have someone one that has experience.

I may be able to hook you up with an experienced rotary tuner who is in Montreal on weekends working with a race team.


a) It'll be $100/hour and you can expect things to take 1-2 hours, depending on what you want to do with your car.

b) You'll have to go to him, where and when he says to meet him.


This is assuming he has enough free time away from the crew to help you. He has a wideband, so you won't have to bother with a dyno.


If you can afford this without a hassle, and you want to try to make it happen, email me at amur_@sympatico.ca and we'll see what we can do.

Updates

Tapp dont wanna tune my car because its got a microtech EMS and Amur's tuner isn't available in the weekend

so, let's say, I might be able to take a trip down to toronto,

is there someone knowledgeable in the region?
There must be someone, cuz I saw a documentary on street racing on discovery and there was a 90 modified as hell rx-7 with haltech and the guy tuned it live in front of the camera...

please help me guys... lol

I would try Magnus Motorsports. They have Haltech and RX-7 experience, not sure about Microtech.

There are others, like STREETPOWER, but he seems to have disappeared...

And he also popped the engine on the Dyno while tuning it!
