Brian Cain Tuning (Columbia, SC)

I'm flying BDC out here to South Carolina around the second or third week of February (that's the plan, anyway) to do a rebuild, port and tune on my 20B10AE. He is willing to do tuning for anyone else that wants it during the time he's here once my motor is done.

Brian can tune pretty much any standalone setup you may have (Haltech, PowerFC, Microtech, etc) on your rotary. Tuning can be done on the street or at a dyno but your dyno time is obviously in addition to his tuning price. For various reasons, it will be easier to take care of all tuning on the street.

The cost for this is $350 per vehicle plus $25 which will go to help defray the cost of travel. In other words, if 4 people tune, I will end up paying all but $100 of the cost for tickets.

If you are definitely interested, please add your name to the list along with a basic listing of your pertinent modifications. You can use my entry as an example.

So far the list is:

(1) Reese Streetported 20B, Haltech E11, Walbro 255, 550/1680s, full 3" exhaust, stock turbos (non-seq).
(2) Heath 1/2BP 13B-RE, Haltech E6K, Walbro 255, 550/1680s, 3" exhaust, GT40 non-BB

Just a question Reese... Why are you running a 255? IIRC the stock 20B/2JZ pump flows like 8-10% more than the Walbro... Correct me if I'm wrong...

I'm down. As long as he's here for a couple years, you know so I can actually start.

Nice, Steiner. More like a week or two. Heh.

13B...I've had the Walbro since when I was still running the 1/2BP 13B-RE. It will flow plenty of fuel for the streetport setup. When I finally go single I'll upgrade the fuel system but that'll probably just be adding an external pump with swirl tank or a second in-tank pump. I believe you're right about the flow rates, though.

From what I know, theyre not really suitable for boost period. Much less above-stock boost. Especially in 2mm form. These are without dispute the bottom of the barrel apex seals on the market.

hey, i called fuego, the place that built the motor. he said they used 2mm atkins seals. the hurleys were what broke in the last motor and they didnt use them. i was happy about that. they should work much better.

Yup...I've been with him when he tuned my old 1/2BP -RE. Heh. I seriously can't wait until we get the new motor dialed in. 400WHP I've felt...close to that in torque as well is going to be fun.
