yikes 27psi... makes me cringe!

Since i live in the UK, there isn't much chance of me getting Steve Kan over here. But what about him doing me a rough map, I drive using it. data log everything and send to him then he sends me a modified map to suite??? And then go from there. Ok it'll take longer than him tuning the car but it's my only option really.

I dont trust anyone else TBH. Pip at WGT in the UK got 440ishRWHP on a T88 13B recently. that to me doesn't seem about right on 98 ron fuel at 1bar.

What would your expect to see from a t88 at 1 bar of boost? and is that a t88 33d or 34d ? 440rwhp at 1 bar sounds very healthy to me. You have to take into account the whole setup of a car to make good power not just the size turbo it has. Don't see why you bother doing all you have done to your car and don't have anyone to tune it, cause you just kind of put yourself in limbo, as you must of known before you started modifying that you don't trust anyone hear to tune it.

A T88 isn't going to be as efficiant at 1 bar as the T78 would be. Just as the T88would do much better at 25+psi than the T78.

Bucky, I have spoken to Steve Kan in the past, and as long as all expenses are paid Steve is more than happy to travel to the UK to tune car's. Obviously, if you can get a group of cars together you can share the expenses cost.

There are plenty of tuners in the UK that can make good power (RE:Worx, Dragon, WGT, Abbey Motorsport). They generally tune very conservatively for realiability rather than ***** out hp. If I had the choice, I'd use Mr Kan every time though

hey, im pretty new to all this, especially to tuning cars. what would my rx7 need to be effectively tuned?

I think you'd find that Steve would do the same. It's not in any tuners interest to map a car on the edge unless a customer specifically requests it and signs a waver as such: 'took my car to xxx and they mapped it, ran it at the weekend and it blew up, useless bunch I'm going to sue them'.

I've seen a few of Steve's maps and they aren't wildly different to what places would do in the UK. Last time I was comparing like for like I was running more timing and less split on my own map (own map, own risk).

In case the original poster is unaware of this: fuel ratings in the US and UK are different, so our 98RON is around the same as as decent US pump fuel and normal coloured water is the same as cheapo US fuel.

A few years back I considered trying to get Steve or Hitman over, but the rotary mapping scene in the UK has moved on leaps and bounds in the last couple of years so I wouldn't feel the need to do it now unless it was something spectacular (twin GT35's on methanol, or something equally strange to UK specialists).


Red Demon - just an Apexi PFC ECU (or similar) and a phone call to your chosen specialist.

Thats my point, why only map to 1 Bar??

Also I would be willing to pay for kan to come over, I'll get my car tuned here in the uk in the mean time. Just have to get enough intrest.
I know about the fuel aswell.

Steve Kan will be in St.Louis on July 4th weekend. If you want in on the tuning, pm me.

We already have 12 deposits.

How many will you be going up to?

Until Steve tells me to stop
