hi i live in everett washington, wondering the closest place to me that can tune my rx7 for me. its a turbo II thanks.......

 

how do you mean tune? are you refering to fuel timing etc or just has parts that they can sale you?

 

tune as in fuel/ adjust tps/ etc...........

 

Well If you cant get steve kan while he's up here. Then Ground zero is were i would go. its a drive but ralph knows what hes doing.

 

Yeah the best place "close" to Everett is GroundZero in Oregon Seriously. But Steve Kan will be up here this summer a couple of times, you should take advantage of that for sure

 

personly i would go to drift office in kent/auburn ask for a guy named bob he has an awd dyno and they tune anything from toy's to 7's to 240's i would give them a call good guys. the shop number is (253) 520-3888 http://www.drift-office.com/

 

But they aren't really rotary gurus Red... That's the problem with shops in WA, they aren't familiar with tuning rotaries... Intech says they do but after speaking with them I don't trust them. It's either Groundzero or take advantage of Steve Kan's May and June tuning sessions in Olympia

 

Yeah I got to agree with Tim on this one. I would only take my FD to rotary specialists. If you want it done right take it to guys that have tuned 100s of these cars. Its worth the little extra time and money to get it done right.

 

lol after watching inteck tuning a 3rd gen once i was scared.... it sounded terrible!

yeah most places up here arnt very specialized in rotary tuning.

what kind of ems system are you running anyway??

Yeah drift office has a nice dyno system. im probably going to do my tuning on their dyno when i get around to installing my haltech.... one of these days/months/years....

 

well i agree they arnt rotary gurus and what not but they do know how to tune timing and fuel. and they just dont do things by ear they do alot of research and i have no doubt in my mind that they would call a company like cork or pinnapple if they needed questions. personly i am going to take my car to them to get dyno/tuned when that happends. personly i wouldnt take my car to intec unless i was going to get a custom sound system, but if i had a honda they would be the first one i would hit up. but you cant go wrong with kan thumbs up to kan. just woundering how expensive is steve kan?

 

His rates vary and they depend on two things: what turbo you have and what boost setting you want.

There is something to be said for tuning a rotary car. Talk to a piston tuner and he will most likely tell you he doesn't want to touch it. It's MUCH defferent than tuning your standard piston engine. I would put some more thought into taking it to n inexperienced tuner and sayin "oh well if you need help just call these guys and ask them". It's not THAT easy. I had a local tuner working on an IS300 project I took on for a friend. He did what you are talking about, and it did absolutely nothing to solve the situation. If you want your motor to last use THE RIGHT tuner the first time and every other time after that.

You might as well tune the car yourself and just borrow the dyno. Save yourself the money they're gonna charge for tuning and you'd have the same amount of rotary tunning knowledge as them...

 

I got mine tuned by steve last september it was $450 im on stock twins pushing 12PSI. That does not include the dyno cost at the shop that cost me around $80 but he has his full pricing on his site.

 

i am going to say you do have a point there.

 

i didnt know steve kan had a site. i know he come here sometimes but where is he based?

 

Based in Texas. He owns Gotham Racing. You can find his tuning costs on the site. Or on page 3 of the "Bringing Steve Kan back" thread
