I'm buying an FD3 with a half-bridge, Borg Warner S366, Microtech ECU, and a good fuel system. It's street tuned for now to have the car running and functioning but looking to get a solid dyno tune for it. Can anyone recommend someone for me? I'm located in Winchester, VA and can travel but would like to not travel 2+ hours just to tune this car lol Any help is appreciated!

If You are willing to consider remote tuning there's 2 tuners in my area I can recommend. Well known on the forums. I'm running a s366 but with a haltech elite 2500

Unfortunately that is going to cause a bit of a problem for you... Your options are A) Take the day and drive to a good tuner (you're not likely to find one attributed to a shop within your 2 hour limit), B) Pay out the *** to have a tuner travel/fly to you (happens at times, but usually is planned months in advance and have several forum members involved to split costs), or C) Remote tuning? Not really something I would personally want to do... But I'm selective as hell.


Your two closest shops to the east will be Angel Motorsports in the Hampton Roads (Virginia Beach area), or Speed1 in Lenhartsville, PA. I have no experience with Angel, but I've heard good things. I used to fully support Speed1, but they went through some management changes (the new owner is a bit of a dick-bag) a few years ago so I've got no idea who they have doing the tuning now.. Ihor at IRP Performance (up in NJ) is a good option as well, though I've not dealt with them in about 6 years and never had my car tuned there.


Best bet for you: Accept the fact that you're going to NEED to travel for quality work on your niche sports car, unless you want to invest the time/money/mistakes in learning to do it all yourself. Call up IRP, schedule an appointment, and possibly change your ECU

JPR in Southern NJ is probably your best bet for a Microtech. IRP is always a good choice but JPR is the only more "known" shop that still recommends and installs Microtechs.
