Steve Kan tuning in Portland this summer
Hello fellow NW forum viewers.
I am attempting to put together enough people to have Steve Kan come into town and do a tuning weekend here in Portland. The minumum number needed is 5 people and I believe that we will likely have demand for well over this number. I know of at least 4 other interested parties besides myself. So, to start this ball rolling I'm suggesting a date in either May or June.
Lets start by shooting for May 12-13 or May 19-20
I will be finding an eddy current dyno facility in the Portland area. There are several shops in town with Mustang dynos to fit this bill. I will be contacting them to find out rates to rent the dyno for a day (or two) and will use this to charge each person a rate to use the dyno as part of the tuning session. Info on this to come.
Link to Steve's web site for information on his tuning and rates:
http://forums.rotarytuner.com/stevekan/tuning.htm
As soon as it appears that we have enough solid interest I will start working on deposits to reserve a spot for both the tuning and the dyno time.
I have asked Steve to check into this thread.
The list of interested participants:
1. wadejg- Justin Wade
2. Justin Wade car #2-not on the forum

Regards,

So far on the dyno it looks like between $600-$1000 per day with an operator. I'm hoping I will be able to work it out so it ends up being about $100 per car for the dyno rental. This obviously depends on the number of cars that need to be run, etc.
Zachary, check out the link to Steve's web site to give an idea of his tuning rates:
http://forums.rotarytuner.com/stevekan/tuning.htm
From his site:
$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
On all tuning sessions there is a Non-refundable $200 deposit.
Time Frame
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
Steve requires a $200 deposit to reserve a tuning spot, and I will require full dyno payment ahead of time to reserve your dyno time, since I don't want to be left having to pay more than my share of dyno time in the end.
Perhaps we should all list our turbo configuration and type of ECU to be tuned so we can get a better idea of time needed for each person.

2. Justin Wade car #2-not on the forum- setup TBA
3. afgmoto1978- Adam Griffith- Effini twins and PFC
4. riede93FD- Zachary Riedel- setup TBA

1 day and we are already looking to be up and running.
I have a couple of firm dates with a Mustang Dyno available in Vancouver WA. The cost for that dyno is $750 for a full day. Dates would be either May12th or June 9th- with the May 12th preferred.
I've also called PDXtuning since they just got their Mustang dyno in the ground. They should get back with me in the next two days about dates and price.
As far as splitting dyno time/money. I plan to split the dyno charge evenly between each participant. No dickering, haggling, or bitching and moaning. Please.
Lets see some more names on the list. Once we for sure have enough solid interest (and I think we do), ability to participate will be based on a first come first serve deposit schedule...so don't dilly dally and miss out.

Justin Wade

We could host something like this.... Got plenty of parking and could throw a BBQ type thing too.
We've got a Dyno Jet dyno (in ground). We'd charge $600 for the day.
We're tuning the Apex Restoration car now as a matter of fact. Would love to see some more RX's come through here. \m/

Also as far as fuel (thats what i need to finish the car) what injectors do i need to be able to run 15psi on stock turbos, ported engine and all bolt ons?.. I've got a cosmo fuel pump currently.

I hope you guys will be tuning with race gas. Otherwise, you'll need two maps for the different Oregon fuels. I honestly can't beleive that you guys would pay around 1k each, when you have a top notch tuner that does it for around 1/4 of that, right in your back yard. CJ
