I highly recommend Steve Kan Tuning. ***READ***

Steve Kan tuned my car last September. It started out at 378whp uncorrected whp with my tune and ended at 455whp with Steve Kans tune.

Steve came back in February to tune my car again and had fantastic results.
He took me from 455 uncorrected whp to 603 uncorrected whp this time.

By uncorrected I mean: The numbers I have posted is what the dyno monitor actually read. Those numbers were not multiplied or altered in anyway.

Steve Kan is the man.

It's safely tuned, I expect it to last longer than all of my previous 11 motors.

To whoever asked, it's a stock 2 rotor with a street port.

none tha saw 600 hp ,but I have built pleanty of engine more than alot of ppl on these boards. TH emost I built one for was 475 HP which was pinned. The reasonI suggested pinningis b/c at that high of a HP your going to get unwanted twisted and such which can crack the irons. Pinning streangthens the engien by adding extra dowel pins.

How did you get your car down to 2300lbs? Is it completely gutted? That's insane to have that much power in such a light car.

This is only true for the S4 engines. S5 and S6 housings have the extra material by the dowel pin so that it doesn't break as easily. I have seen S6 engines making more than 700rwhp w/o any issues so I don't think it is necessary to do it.

Steve tuned my car a few years ago. He did an awesome job. I have some sweet videos of my car shooting 3 foot flames out of the exhaust when Steve was playing around with the decel.

I talked about making my car lighter in my dyno thread in the single turbo section. Check it out there, too tired to write it again. Also, you can search my name and see that I've talked about how light my car is for several years.

It's a 93 R1.

Odd, Im making 643rwhp for almost a year with no issues on a Ray Wilson (PFSupercars) tuned RX7 with no "pinned motor". Before making hasty posts, make the power prior to stating your opinions as facts. No pinning is necessary. 600rwhp now days is low. Guys are making over 700rwhp with no pinned motors. Its how you've clearanced you motor. Ari made 600rwhp on stock ports.

2300lbs isn't really likely. I've worked lightening a FD, no AC system, no firewall mat, no sound deadening, complete airbag system and wiring removed, no bumper supports, very lightweight seats, very small battery, Ti exhaust, stock radiator, 1 oil cooler, no stereo or speakers, AL flywheel, no spare or jack. The only heavy thing about it was it had twins on it still.

I think it was still 200lbs shy of your claimed weight. Do you have glass in your car?
