Well, I'm slowly peicing my car together and I've been trying to figure out where I should go to get it tuned. I'm looking for a tuner somewhat local (I Live in Chicago), so unfortunately I know I don't have many options. Any suggestions???

I'll be running a PFC so I know a lot of tuners will be familiar with the ecu. Just wanted some advice as to where I should take my car. I'm also SUPER **** about other people working on the FD so I NEED to know I can completely trust the shop/person I take it to.


Please chime in...


Thanks,
Rizwan

 

Fairly close to you: http://www.banzai-racing.com/

 

Thanks Mahjik! Have you had any first hand experience with their tuning? That shop is actually my first choice, but I just wanted to see what others have to say and whether there's any other shop/people I should consider.

All of these shops, the owners are on the forum. You'll find very little "bad" feedback. IMO, I would talk to each shop, tell them your goals, and see what they say. There are so few rotary specific shops around so unfortunately beggars cannot be choosers especially if you are trying to stay local.

 

Tune it yourself. Nobody will ever spend as much time on your car as you can...

 

Everyone would love to tune they're own car, but what if you screw up? That's the reason why everyone pays for someone who already knows it and has the knowledge to setup and tune a vehicle. No one wants to loose a motor over a screw up when tuning.

 

Yeah No kidding there is no way I would tune my car. It scares me to much.

 

ive heard good stuff about bonzai.. i believe the guys name is chris.. thats who i want to take my fd too sometime in april/may

 

Ha, yea exactly. You do all that work, then go to change some numbers on the ecu then pop. Back at square one, that would just make me want to commit suicide.

 

Yah, tuning myself is not an option. Although, I'd love to learn how, I don't want to experiment on my own personal car.


Does anyone know tuners not affiliated with any shops? I'm more than likely going to contact Banzai and go with them, but I want to know all my options.

 

badog/tony is in Ohio, not sure how far away he is from you. From what I've heard he's very proficient with the PFC.....he has a silver FD with Fikses and a GT40R kit.

 

hey if ur going to get urs tuned by this guy.. pm me id like to drive my fd and meet u guys so he can tune mine aswell if hes wanting too.. perhaps we can go half and half and rent a dyno for a few hours? etc?? just a thought..
