Exclamation Microtech users... Jon from RX Engineering is coming to San Diego to tune....

Attn: K-mart Shoppers....

Jon From RX Engineering (Microtech) is flying out here to tune my 3rd gen race car. I am flying him out here next Sunday Aug. 8th. He will be working on my car and tunning it up. When it is finished he will be able to tune on a first come first serve basis. The price will be 250.00 per hour, 2 hour min. If you guys want your cars tuned by the best he will be here for 4 days staying with me. That 250.00 rate is no negotiable some of that goes to me ( his ticket was $$$$.$$) and some to the dyno bill the rest goes to Jon. He can tune anything... I will be setting all of this up, payment to be cash only paid right before car goes on the dyno, we will hold this for rotary powered cars with Microtech units at first and if it fills up great if not anything will be game. Please e-mail me not here cause I am never on this site ( i forgot i was still a member ) send e-mails to fd20b@yahoo.com....

Thanks,
Jeff Kiesel

Smile 456 hp 3rd gen

Jon came out here and tuned my 93 7. It has a t72-t68 Tubonetics ball bearing turbo fitted with a custom stainless manifold. The motor was built by speedmachine racing in San Diego (Escondido) CA and has hi comp snap ringed rotors with stock 2mm seals, stage two stationary gears, aggressive street port and the whole motor was cryo treated. Stock throttle bodie and intake manifold (due to SCCA regulations). The motor also has a 49mm inlet restrictor fitted on it (all of the intake has to pass through this tiny restrictor that is 4 inches away from the turbo. And the exhaust meets the 93 DB limit at 50 feet (SCCA regulation), 97 DB is the limit for a street car in CA. With all of this we were extremely happy when the car put down 456 hp and 390 torque to the wheels on a Dyno Dynamics dyno. The Dyno Dynamics reads lower than a Dyno Jet (we are guessing it would put down 470-480 on a Dyno Jet). When it was dynoed we had the 12" slicks on the back along with .5" of toe in (with the toe set a zero and less sticky narrow street tires we would guess the power to be around 15-20 more at the wheels). And the answer you were all waiting for-------- 14.1 pounds of boost, we had it peak at 16 pounds but that was around 5000 rpm. Jon is the man!!!!!! And I love my Microtech, I threw my piece of **** Electromotive TEC3 in the trash!!!!!!

He sold it. He couldn't get a tuner locally for the TEC 3, and there was some kind of ignition issues with it.

People fear what they don't understand. BTW, in case people go searching in the future: Mariah up in Santa Barbara will tune Electromotive's gear in rotary applications.

Yes, but fear or no fear, most sane people would sell it on E-bay.
