New rotary shop in Pittsburg Kansas
Ok my friend Poncho just opened a performance shop here in Pittsburg. I just wanted to inform that he's doing a special price on a rebuilt for the first 5 motor. I don't know if this is going to be deleted but I just wanted members knows around the area.

Where in Pittsburg? Funny I finally move after living there for 10 years and someone finally opens up a performance shop that will work on rotaries. Just my luck lol.

So behind tailwind? Cool man. Congrats on the new shop! You don't see that many rotaries in pittsburg, I can only think of three people. The person off of 10th and stillwell with the sa22 and the occasional fc, the guy that had the FD near 11th and smelter(it has been replaced with a c3 vette) and the guy in frontenac off of hugh street with the 70000 rx7's in the driveway. How is it that I missed you?

Cool beans man!! I always wondered who that was at that house. You know who owned the fd that parked at dillons a few years back? You ever race a mokan? I take it you have. I met someone a few years back... prob 04ish, that had a black s4 TII that hailed from pburg. ran roughly 14.2, so I figured it was stock. You know him? Seemed like a good guy.

I'm the guy who had the "black" green TII. I'm heading up to Mo-Kan next Sunday and will go check the shop out. I met Poncho before in KC. He is a knowledgeable guy who knows how to make power on rotary engines and build fast drag machines. Isn't his rx2 in the 8s now?

Josh Yes he ran 8.81 but that was his old setup. Next coming year would be exciting and we're looking to head east to compete at afew events there. |
Ran the blue FD at 10.66 133mph on the first run and was told to run 11.49 or slower. The car was running really rich.

You all have a website?

Does he have experience tuning 3rd gen's with powerFC ?
|
I know PFC but my laptop crashed with the software and maps I saved. It is not hard to tune the PFC but if you can wait I would recommend Steve Kan to tune it. If you got a datalogit it make it alot easier. Poncho knows the microtech very well.
|
Datalogit is the best purchase I've made.
|
I've got pfc + datalogit + laptop, so I can tune. I just don't have the experience to make sure I know what I'm doing.
|
If you got a wideband you can log the tune and adjust the fuel map. Did you join the datalogit yahoo group?
|
yes I have a plx wideband. Yes I'm on the yahooo group. I think what I really need is some dyno time, because street tuning is a PITA.

I tuned it so that it is running a little rich until I can have a pro do it. At first it was lean so I added fuel to prevent any bad things happening. I am in the process of doing some upgrades (IE better twins, new exhaust, EBC) so I wanted to do all my mods before taking it somewhere. In the spring I'll look for a Steve Kan event or maybe drive it up to Banzai.
Unless James, you think your place can do it? Pittsburg KS alot closer than Indiana. |

Are you guys familiar with the AEM EMS?
|
+1 for a new midwest shop! James are you going to make it to joplin for the 417rotary meet?
|
NICE TO HEAR!!! I've been wrenching on my own rotaries (FB n/a, FC n/a, FD Single, FE) for years....I'm graduating from WyoTech in March.....is he looking to hire any help? This would be a dream come true!! I'm from the Wichita area.
