Can anyone in Houston tune Microtech LT-8?

I have a plan jane 1988 T2 with a stock S5 J-spec engine & turbo.
Stock intercooler
Manual boost controller
550pri. & 720sec. inj. run in parallel
Walbro fuel pump
Aeromotive fpr
3" downpipe to custom exhaust.

I want to get two programs, one for power and one for emissions testing

I still have a few loose ends to finish up but it won't be to long before I need it tuned.

-Bill

I don't know anyone that has the software. If you can get the software to load on my laptop plus written instructions I may be able to do it.

You need more than just the software to tune. You'll also need the serial adapter to make it work.

You can download the software on www.microtech-efi.com but you won't be able to navigate w/o it hooked up to real-time.

No way, I am a small fry guy working out of my house for the fun of working on Rx7's. He is talking about Stevie Wonder up North in big D, Steve K should be able to fix you up with a tune on any of the popular ECUs.

That's a 5 hour drive up 'radar alley'! I use to have to make that drive on almost a weekly basis for work. Steve's reputation is without doubt, but I would trust Kyle or Chuck with anything related to tuning rotaries as well.

remember though a) he is having an open house party on april 9th and other rotary guys will be there and also b) it's a small price to pay to have your car tuned by the man
