JerryD680, if you are in, we just need one of the three remaining pending to commit to get this nailed down. I have blocked Steve's calendar. If we get enough interest, Steve will stay over for the 9th.

Pito13B is working on the Dyno location and I will be collecting deposits or we can send directly to Steve.

May 8th works for me. I'm in 100%

Ok guys sorry for the late post but i spoke with Robert at 2fast autosports today and told him about our group tuning session. He said any date would be fine with him as long as we notify him a week in advance. Rates for the dyno vary depending on how many cars we get but it should be between $50 and $75 an hour with wideband.

Roberts going to laugh when he sees me. It'll be the third time ive tried to get my car tuned, and the third person to try it.

First guy blew it up.
Gaby noticed i had a problem, and stopped before anything bad happened.
Ive since rewired it. Third times a charm?!

Actually it wouldnt surprise me if i left the dyno with an untuned car and a big for sale sign in the window.

Alex, thanks for checking with Robert! So we need one more person and we are good? Things are looking good then. I got my deposit ready to send out. Lets do this guys!

Tedder, 3rd times a charm, Kan tuning should get you going.

Since I have never done this before, I'll ask: Do you guys prefer to send the checks directly to Steve or do you want me to collect and then pay Steve? $200 deposit is non-refundable but is transferable should someone take your place.

Steve needs the following information from each of us as soon as possible to insure he will be able to tune the car to the owners satisfaction:

- Basic setup, type of turbo, ignition, etc.
- Fuel system, injector size, pump.
- Porting
- Type of apex seals
- HP goal

Relative to the dyno, will it be available on Sunday the 9th if necessary?
I'll PM Neil to see if he is in as our 5th.

This has gone way too smoothly, something has to go wrong soon.

-Mike

The faster Steve gets our deposits the better. Does he have a preference? I am fine either way. I believe the 9th was fine for the dyno, but we will double check to make sure. Wow, if we already have 5 this has gone extra smooth.

Tedder1 if you are in we have five. I thought you had to wait on your Microtech return; please confirm.

just in case if this doesn't workout for you guys i have someone who is local for tunning so you can come back if any problems. And hes cheaper. Pm me for details



jus my .02cents

I will drive to MCO, Steve confirmed it's only be a retune provided nothing goes wrong.
Steve confirmed my retune does not count toward the minimum buy in

Bump it up guys! Anyone else want to join in? Don't leave us hanging!

Sent off my ECU this morning. Bump.

We are confirmed and on Steve's schedule for the 8th of May in Orlando. Still have one open spot for Saturday. Right now, it's just a one day event.

Im in for the tune in may. Just say where to send the deposit so Steve can hold the day for us.

PM sent to Sinister7.

Committed so far for Saturday, May 8th in Orlando:
Madee - Mike

Sinister7

Let's get the deposits in!

That is our five. Moosejaw is having a retune which does not count for the five required.
As soon as Steve receives the deposits he will book his travel. At that point we will be locked in. I'll ask Steve when he is booking so if anybody wants a tune on Sunday he can stay over.
Probably a good idea to speak up pretty quickly.

Just to keep it going. Will update once Steve gets the deposits in.

Steve received the 5th Deposit from Giovanni Hernandez; don't know your Forum name.

We are good to go and probably full for Saturday May 8th. Steve indicated he is flying out Sunday late so there is the possibility of tuning this day also. Speak up if you want to be included.

This has been relatively painless so far, thanks a lot guys.

i wanna know results for these cars when he finishes?

What is the address that I am sending the deposit to?

Now that all the deposits r in and the monies r not refunable , WHAT SHOP WILL B USED FOR THE DYNO TUNING?
Thanks

Earlier in the thread we spoke about going with 2fast autosports Orlando. We are still looking good with them. Price was 50-75 an hour with wideband depending on the number of cars. I will speak with my friend this week to see what price we are looking at with our group of cars.

Ok, my friend Alex received an email from Robert@2fast autosports. If we had at least 10 people, price would be $60 per hour with wideband included. Less than 10 it is $65 per hour.

i should still be good as well, I know the ECU has landed at Microtech.

I'm cool with going to 2Fast Autosports. I think we should lock in down.

Moosejaw (Andrew) has been communicating directly with Steve regarding his re-tune so I don't know where in the lineup he falls. We expect at least one more participant, pending the return of Tedders Microtech. This gives us a full Sat with probably one on Sunday along with whoever has problems on Sat.

Well... I just got word that My Ecu was fine. I troubleshot it, and traced wires, etc but they say its gotta be my wiring. (a local shop in CFL did it extremely half assed and Ive been paying for it)

So now they are building me a new harness. When its done they will send it, I will rewire the car, and break it in.

Its going to be real tight with the timing for me.

We'll see.

Im still around
I dont mind where i need to be
I just dont want to get home late

Did we pick an exact location yet?

2fast autosports is our location. Moosejaw, I am not sure how early you will be there since you are making a longer trip, but I am sure we can work something out.

Ok guys heres the address for the shop we'll be using for the tune:

2fast Autosports
6948 Venture Cir. Suite D.
Orlando, Fl. 32807

If anyone has any questions about the shop, dyno, or rates feel free to contact Robert (Owner). His Cell # is (407)243-7116. We still have to work on a time to meet up, but that depends on what time Steve wants to start. Robert is pretty flexible with the shop hours so if we need to stay late we can and we also have Sunday just in case. Also if anybody needs directions or any other info feel free to pm me or Pito13b and we will get back to you as soon as possible.

Bump! Its quiet here, everyone must be getting their cars ready for the event.

Just an update, Steve would like to get started at around 9 A.M. Saturday.

We still have plenty of room for late arrivals. Steve will be tuning Sat(5/8) and Sun(5/9).

Steve wants six for Sat; 5 tunes and Moosejaw re-tune. I have the order in which the deposits were received if we hit a conflict - lets hope we don't! I believe he schedules 2 hours/car so how about chiming in for your desired time slot, 9am, 11am, 1pm, etc..

Out of curiosity does he tune Megasquirt? I am NA but have had a hard time finding someone to tune Megasquirt down here.

I have done a few megasquirt on different vehicles but haven't done one in a Rx7 yet. which version are you running? v2.25?

Yep version 2.25 if I remember correctly. I wouldnt be able to make this session but it is good to know for future reference.

It has been tuned on a dyno but not by a rotary specialist. There are a few driveability issues that need to be worked out but other than that it pulls pretty well. The main restriction is the RB Exhaust at this point.

My ECU is stuck in Australia over a customs issue, unless a miracle happens i wont make it.

Its been three years, i can wait some more.

Got room for one more?

Sure. Sunday will be mostly for those with problems on Saturday so we still have plenty of room.

Cool. Gonna have to do some serious planning with you guys. I will talk with Steve and the shop owner and see what we can work out because I'm gonna be out of town that weekend but can drop the car at the shop before and pick it up after. I can proabably have a buddy be there when steve is doing his thing if he wants somebody there on my behalf. I'll get with Steve and report back.

Steve is ok with me not being present as long as I have a friend there.

Guess that puts me on the list!

If any of you plan on tuning your car with a old fuel pump, replace it before the event.
Last tune we had three supra fuel pumps fail bc we bought used ones that were over four years old. Fuel Pumps go bad over time and I have seen five cars (incl. the last two local tunes, including my own) not tune bc of it.
Also replace spark plugs, oil change, and fuel filter as well.

Damian would like to be tuned on Sat @ 09:00am if that time is taken he would to be up @ 11:00 am.

Thanks
