Any great experiences or recommendations for shops around Arlington WA?

 

So that was your car at JMI I saw like 5 months ago. Jeff might know there but I don't if you have heard of Steve Kan. I think he makes his way up here from time to time.

 

the closest one that i know of is down in kent. Intec Racing. its the only place i take my FD.

 

Yeah that's me at JMI. So intec racing is a good shop? how far from JMI?

 

its about an hr or so from camano island. i dont know where JMI is.

 

I wouldn't let Intec touch my car, nor would most other RX-7 owners. The best tuner in the NW is Ralph, formerly of GroundZero (Portland) and he has some "affiliation" with Forged Performance and FD3S engineering in Portland. That would be the only person in the PNW that I would ever recommend to anyone. Otherwise do yourself a favor and get BDC up here from Fort Worth for a session. It's well worth it.

 

Intec will blow up your engine, stay the f*ck away from them.

 

Pretty sure Brian's straight outta GP. There's an Arlington, WA, huh? Interesting. I used to live in Kirkland during my teens....so many years ago now.

Eh he flies out of DFW, close enough lol Yes there is an Arlington, WA. Not nearly as populated as Arlington, TX

 

Intec has yet to blow up my car...LOL... besides i live on camano island which is north of arlington and they are the closer than portland....

 

However, you have more of a risk of having your car blown up by Intec than by Ralph. I would take reliability and a proven record over "convenience" any day.

Plus your car isn't very modified, Robert. It's much more difficult to blow up an FD that's still restricted

The guys from that shop claim rediculous numbers out of set-ups that aren't even capable of the power outputs they claim and don't have a good record with rotaries. Too many have been blown by them as compared to the ones still running. They're a fanboy shop. Let them stick to Hondas and Nissans. Keep the rotaries with the people who know them very well and have great experience with them. Seriously, PM BDC (Brian D Cain) and just pick his brain

 

Anybody else want to tune? I don't mind to setup another tune if at least 5 people want to.
I could just speed up my upgrade and re-tune again. I can always call Brian from BDC and setup tuning session.

 

This is how the car is sitting now, shouldn't take much to get it running.

 

I have a map from when mine was about the same setup as yours. It was stock twin, stock injectors, Greddy SMIC, downpipe, midpipe, and exhaust. Also used the boost controller.
What kind of ECU are you using? I have datalogit that you can try use if you are comfortable with trying yourself.

 

Yes i too need my 7 tuned. I am very lost with my haltech e6k (seems almost overwelming at times)

Shoot me an email with the engine, turbo, and injector/FPR/fuel pump specs and I'll get a base map made for you. bdc@bdcmotorsports.com
