KDRotary

thanks fellas

Vision Speed Factory at Ben Avon, PA. PM me for his contact number.

Ken Carswell's Rotary Connection is just East of Columbus, OH. PM me if you want more info-I have his number. He just rebuilt my engine. Mine cost around $3500, but it needed much more than just the basic rebuild. He's a little on the expensive side from what I've heard from other people, but he's a good, fair, honest guy.

Does the rx7store do rebuilds/porting i didnt see anything on there site about it?

Also does anyone know anything else about KDRotary?, hear the name thrown around every once and awhile and they have a site i found on google but I cant tell whats going on with them.

wow, got some 7 people closer to me than i thought!
i need my car tuned also. thinkin KDrotary is pry gonna do it.

Dave (KDR) just moved to his new shop and does excellent work. Give him a call and if he doesnt pick up just leave a message, he'll call back. Would def recommend them above anyone else in the area.

so KDR seems to be the best local shop?

^Depends on what you are looking to have done. Dave has been known not to be the best tuner, blown up many a forum members motors, and he hasnt had the best people working for him which caused his reputation to take a hit. I think now he is basically running things by himslef so you should be okay. Dave is pretty knowledgable and definently a stand up guy, just dont know if you want him tunning your car if you have more than a few mods.

:wallbash:
thats what i DONT want to hear.
where else can i go that i dont have to drive for 6 + hours to have my car tuned:(
i live close to erie also.

^^jump on the steve kan tuning thread, he has tuned my car and many and always has good results.

for and repairs and mods i would definately recommend KDR.. They do awesome work, and have worked on my car on numerous occassions.. Dave is an absolute stand up guy and knows rx7s like the back of his hand.. Whenever something seems off, just tell him the symptoms and i guarenty he can fix it. As for tuning, i would recommend jumping on a tuning session with steve kan or seomthing. He is absolutely an awesome tuner. You cant go wrong with kdr working on the car and having steve kan tune it!!!!!

I actually went to Dave to have him tune my car and he did that just fine. He found the extra horsepower that I was looking for. I'm sure every rotary tuner has popped a few engines and after seeing all the high horsepower 2 and 3 rotors hes done I'm sure hes more then capable.

im going to be injecting allcy along with 91 pump gas....looking for 450WHP on a S4 streetported motor.....after all the money...i dont want it to pop...lol
it wont be done in time for steve to tune it though i whish it was....

I'd just call up Dave and ask what kind of experience he has tunning the type of equipment you have on your car. Don't hold me to this because I have no actual idea or not but I think on the cars hes blown more have been with an Apexi Power FC ECU then others because he told me that he tends to recommend Haltech or Microtech so I think he just doesn't have the experience with the Power FC as some of the other tuners. However, like I said Dave did a spectacular job tunning my car and I have a Power FC and I'll probably do down there this spring for a re-tune for more boost now that the cars actually got some decent mileage on it.

when you had him tune, were you able to be there when he did it?
i dont know how busy he is and i would like to drive there on a friday morning, have him tune my car and drive home friday nite.
ill call a while ahead of time to schedule it...i was just curious as to how long it took you to get in and have hime tune your car.
sorry to thread jack.

RX 7 stores port work is amazing. They did mine last year and many experienced eyes saw it before the motor was put together; all were highly impressed.

Yup, I was there the entire time he was tunning and watched. I got there around 12 and was on my way around 4 or 5. There was a rain storm when I was about to leave so I hung around for a bit to wait for it to clear. I had around 10 pulls and the price was absolutely spectacular for the time Dave put in.



It may have been one a million

VERY good to hear!
did it take a while to wait for your tune?
how long before hand did you have to call and set up the tune?

I think I had the appointment set up about a week in advance but don’t recall. Dave was good about getting me in because when I was going for the tune it was about a week or two before they were about to move. I'm sure a week would be plenty of time, but I can't answer really, just give him a ring.

I've heard of Carswell Rotary Connection; where are they?

JPR Imports. Give me a call to talk about it. 2158809204
