who to tune a car in central FL?
 

Well by the end of summer I should have my microtech, but I was wondering who I should trust to tune my car. There are people around here that will do it, but one guy barely got 400rwhp out of a T66 and a ported engine.

well this should be moved to the MicroTech section
but you can contact Rolo at Central Florida Turbo

He'll can take your car to TiTan Motor sports
for a dyno session
or wait till mid august when they'll get there own state of art all wheel drive dyno(can be used as rear wheel or front wheel dyno as well)

www.centralfloridaturbo.com

email him or call

Thats in Orlando, right? Not too far for a reputable tuner. Any idea what he'll charge? I'll check the website and see if it says.

I assume you're talking about me. At the time, I was also driving my car every day, so my tuning is conservative. It was also almost 100 degrees in the room with the dyno on the day we made 410 RWHP at 16 psi. I'm not saying that Scott is the tuning god, but don't downplay a car that makes 410 rwhp reliably.

Re: Re: who to tune a car in central FL?
 

Oh, I definitely don't mean to downplay your car at all. I just think it could be tuned for some more power, wouldn't you agree? That power range is just what I see for 60-1's for the most part at that boost level. But I do understand that turbo likes higher boost, right? Any way it goes, I've heard mixed stories about Scott and its just not something that settles all that well with me.

And the temps could play a part and being reliable is also very important.

Yeah. You hear both good and bad about a lot of people; however, someone is much more likely to repeat something bad than something good.

Personally, I had originally hoped that my car would make more at 16 psi as well, but Scott knows my situation and that I can't afford to have any major problems with my car at this stage in my life (getting ready to start law school). I know he tuned it with this in mind. FYI: He recently purchased a shop car and will be testing the limits of his motor (exactly like mine) with a Microtech in the coming months.

I don't pretend to completely understand compressor maps, but if you look at the T66, it seems to really enjoy the higher boost.http://64.225.76.178/catalog/compmaps/t66.gif

I totally understand, and thats exactly what I was saying. But I was just looking for one of the "well-known" guys that like everyone on this board knows about internationally. Know what I mean? I still might let him tune it, but I'm just looking around right now.

There is a tuner named Gabby from Puerto Rico. He's tuned crazy fast street and drag cars. One local car he did is Sporty's 9 second street driven FD. He deals with microtech, in my opinion he's one of the best in the world.

Anyone know how to read the above compressor map? I know that the Y axis (vertical) is Bar+Atmospheric Pressure, so 1 bar would be 2.0, right?

Where does my car fall on the X axis? Is it a standard Rx-7 number? Porting dependent?

scott tuned my microtech... i couldnt be more unhappy with it...

BUT he did tune my Apexi Power FC (when i had it) and it was a PERFECT tune!!! work perfectly ALL the time...

Scott told me the microtech was better for what i am doing so i bought it... and i dont really like it at all...

just my $0.02 on it... Scott is a great guy and i have worked with him for years... but i wish i would have kept my PFC...

Remember Tuning for a nice powersul daily driver, is not the same as tuning for a race car (much easier).

I don't know Gabby, this statement is not for him

"Anybody can Tun-a-Fish,

Not Everybody can Tune a Piano"

-From Tai & Crispeed.

I would rather go to Scott
or Rolo even after a disagreement I had with him
over someone overseas no matter how
good they think there are

BTW: Rolo was the one that brought gabby to australia
with him for training

When I had the Haltech
no one could tune it locally
and I was pushed by my old mechanic
to not switch to Microtech and wait for "oso" from PR who is the Haltech god over there
and months passed by and nothing
so everyone including my self switched to MicroTech

It realy sucks if your car starts acting up and you have to wait for someone to fly in and pay there airfair and tunning time

Hell with that

well, i don't perosnally know Directfreak, but i do believe that he is probably as picky with his car as i am with mine - and if he trusts Crispeed (he may not be Central Florida) but i'm willing to trust him based on that. you should probaly take your car there. shit, i know i will whenever i get my Turbo project to the tuning stage.

just an opinion ...

i do all of my own basic tunning myself , but when it comes to higher boost etc , there is only one man i trust with my car .....rolo of central florida turbo to my knowledge he IS the best microtech (haltech also) tuner
