My buddy has a 3rd Gen, stock twins, DP, 3.5" Greddy, and the PowerFC. He's blown 2 motors by not having it tuned properly.

Is there a reliable tuner in SoCal with PowerFC/Rotary experience?

 

You might want to give Louie a call at Rotary Reliability and Racing in Santa Ana.

They just put in a dyno, and they know the PowerFC enough for a safe tune. I don't think they are at the Steve Kan level yet, but it's better than nothing! They used to take all their cars and have them tuned at Apexi.

 

Does Apex still tune cars?

 

Sorry, I meant XS Engineering; they work closely with Apexi.

 

Have you tried asking your Regional Forum?

 

Racing Beat?

 

SoCal is in the West.. not South.

 

They've got a dyno, but I don't think they were tuning PowerFC's.

 

Good luck.

Guitarjunkie is a decent tuner, but is not familar with the PFC. You may want to hit up Rene over at Rene's muffler. He may be able to help.

 

you may want to hit up loue at rotory reliablilty& racing 714 839-8018 they have a in house dyno jet or he will guide you in the right direction good guy

 

you can also try Rotary Power in Gardena @310-516-9959. They are FD experts also you can check there website www.rotarypower.com

 

The first question I would ask your friend is why does he feel like he needs the PFC tuned? Assuming he is just running a stock port motor he does not have enough mods to necessitate a full re-tune, running the PFC stock mod map would be perfect for him and should be reliable assuming everything in the fuel system is in good shape. The timing maps are a tad aggressive possibly but a stock port motor can handle a bit more advanced timing than a street/race port.

Is he replacing the fuel filter each time? Are his injectors clean or are they just throwing them onto another motor without checking them? Is his fuel pump tired out and not providing the proper fuel delivery and pressure?

It's important to figure out exactly why he keeps popping motors, it might not be the PFC tuning, it could be something mechanical and not related at all. It's imperative to have a good wideband and a laptop for logging if you plan on playing with PFC maps and tuning.

stock twins, not stock motor. Cars has: Sidepex mildport, ARC i/c, apex intakes, dp, mp, Greddy PE...and the PowerFC. Fuel is also up to spec. Has a wideband...leaned out...NEEDS TUNING, as aforementioned.

 

Thanks to all who have given some good leads to follow...

 

in montclair there's a good one i forgot the name though, it's right before foothill by the montclair plaza. Good prices and they do a good job

 

thats who i was gonna refer R&R Rotary in upland. 909 593 8080 . ask 4 Ryan

 

that would be http://www.rotarypowerusa.com

 

When you find one, let US know...

 

Try contacting Clemente - Infini_IV on the forum.

 

I would say Dave Segalla(guitar junkie), he can speak to his PFC experience. Otherwise, Speed Machine(Dave Gibson), or Danzio Performance(Chris Muzio), both are excellent tuners, PFCs are pretty simple for guys who can tune full stand alones IMHO

 

I know a guy in Santa Clarita, by the name of DRAKE DOUGLAS that does MicroTech or Haltech, but yea he's a 3rd gen guy.

Call me Jamie and I give you his info...

my friend rob at rotaryshack. (or mexico as he liked to be called) u might have seen him on here as 680rhp

 

i'd do a pfc if you have the dataloggit, but i'm most experienced in haltechs and meecrotechs...but it's not like you rund a different afr or timing with a different ems...it's more knowing which buttons do what on the user interface.

 

if he wants it done right by Steve Kan, he is coming down to LA again on the week of SS8

check out this thread and post there if you or your firend is intrested... interested in doing it right that is!

I say go to xs engineering. Before they tune your car they do a full diagnostic to see what parts may need attention. When you leave there you will knowq your car is in full working order.
