For the last 4 years now, we have brought a tuner to Colorado to tune. I myself do not need a tune on my car, howeverpd I have been asked by a few members here in Colorado to try and set up a Steve Kan tuning session this time. This will be the first time Steve will hold a tuning session here but he is no stranger to tuning at elevation as Albuquerque is similar to Denver.

Here is Steve's prices for tuning....(prices already include plane ticket....dyno charges additional

$350 - Stock turbo up to 12psi of boost (pump gas only) 1 map
$400 - aftermarket turbo up to 16psi of boost (pump gas only) 1 map
$450 - aftermarket turbo from 16psi - 25psi of boost (race gas and/or auxiliary injection only) 1 map
$600 - aftermarket turbo up to 25psi of boost (pump gas and race gas tune) 2 maps

Here is the estimated time frame allocated for each type of tuning.

stock turbo - 45 mins - 1.5 hrs
aftermarket turbo (pump gas) 1hr - 2.5 hrs
aftermarket turbo (race gas and/or auxiliary injection) 2 - 4hrs
aftermarket turbo (2 maps) 3-6 hrs


We are shooting to schedule a tuning date sometime in late spring. The quicker we can come up with 7 people who are interested the quicker I can set a date and get $50 deposits from people.

10. Cohbra (maybe but unlikely)
11. Wankle7 (not sure if May 16th - 19th will work for him)
12. John Red R1 w/ Power FC


Things to do before you get tuned!

- Put new spark plugs in. Most cars will use BUR9EQ's all the way around.
-If over 14 lbs of boost, then buy B10EGV or BR10EIX - You can also use 11's if very high boost.
-Replace your fuel filter as it should be replaced every year to be safe
-Oil change before tune wouldn't hurt
-Make sure you don't have any vacume leaks

Call me if you need someone to do the work for you.

 

I'd love to.... but I still don't have my motor, it's still at precision... hopefully soon they'll finish it and I can put my car together.
Anyhow I might be down for some low boost tuning, unless he comes out in the summer then my motor will be broken in and I'll go for a high boost tune with a/i using a pfc.

 

Hey guys,
its been a good 5-6 yrs since I was in Denver area (last time I raced there). It would be fun to go back again sometime this year.
Like Mike said, I will be available in May time frame. This should give you guys plenty of time to get your car ready.

If any of you have any questions, feel free to PM me. I'll try my best to answer your questions.

Steve

 

To get more people in here, I will send out an email to the entire club. Thanks for responding Steve!

 

Where are all these people who said they wanted Steve Kan out here so bad! LOL I'm guessing I'm going to have to get on the phone and start calling everyone. I'm going to have to wait till I have more time!


I'm almost positive Glen from WY will be in, same with Matt with FC, and Matt Emmi from Boulder with his FD. If we end up being short on people, I will probably also jump in for a tune as it couldn't hurt!

 

Steve can tune my car, I'm ready to go on May, just name when and where.

John Davis / Power FC / May (I'm ready now)

 

Well, I may have to upgrade some fuel parts before I get it tune, so I will put myself on the maybe list

 

I'm in for sure Mike. Put me on the list.
Glen / RTEK7 2.1 / May is good, let me know when you know.

 

I updated the list......I know Matt with FC said he would be down when his motor is done and same with Cody so there is a possible of 2 more.

If we are going to bring him out we need to get people to let us know soon so we can schedule something quickly!

 

if i get my harness situation out of the way ill be down too. with a power fc.

 

I'm in if I can get my car done in time but i seriously doubt it.

I wanted Steve to do my last tune but I guess we couldn't get him out here last year. I ended up with a blown motor about 3 weeks after having it done last year.

Anyone know how long it takes to get a new motor from Pineapple?

 

Ok guys.....let me know your status so we can schedule this. I just added Doug with the Red FD w/ power FC.


I got my motor is 2 weeks from Atkins Rotary. Call them up at 1-215-848-7776

 

What are your thoughts on the projected dates? I might be down but I don't know my schedule yet.

James

 

I'm thinking the end of May to be safe. We still need others to chime in and let us know they are in. I have 2 people that are building there engine now that need to get done before I schedule something.

 

I should know my may schd soon. I will post it up and see what you are thinking. Thanks!

James

I just got my new site running. If anyone have tuning questions, scheduling, and FAQ on what to do prior to the tuning session. Please register yourself and ask me on my forum. I'm trying to make this easier for every group to schedule tuning session and also provide a place for EFI specific tuning questions.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Are the above boost levels (psi), quoted for sea level - absolute psi,, or relative psi for us in denver? \


Note:In Denver we are about 2.8psi absolute lower than sea level

 

Steve will be here in a few more days! If anyone wants to get a tune from one of the most well known Rotary tuners in the Country, call or text me ASAP!
