My car has been tuned twice with neptunespeed. Ounce for full exhaust with high flow cat, 12psi.... Second full exhaust w/ midpipe and 1300cc injectors. My car made 325whp on a hot day on a dynojet. This is 12PSI! my afr is 10.8 too.

So far the motor has no problems at all. You do have to be carefull on the details you tell yoshi because they forget wat you exactly want, like i wanted 13psi yet he did 12. Other than that there VERY good.

Here is my dyno. Note: The dyno was done at a different place and my tq needs to be doubled and rpm cut in half.

Actually no, their tuning is done in house, if you want a " get off my dyno as soon as possible because someone else is next" type of cheap tuning then I will suggest someone else, If you're looking for great driveability (including cold start up and tip in) and good fuel economy (specially with this gas prices) then I will suggest R&R ,cause anybody can do the full throttle runs, the hard part is getting the car to drive nice instead of a ON & OFF switch, Their # is (714) 839 8018 ask for Lui ,he's the one in charge of the dyno.

Just gotta say mad props goes out to Yoshi n Yosuke for all the work they put in to getting my FC hooked up right. Took her home 2day and man was I a happy driver. A little smoke under the hood kinda scared me, but I found out later it was just WD40 and other stuff they were using to get the 13bT cleaned up.

They finished my NA to Turbo swap, which for me is a big change. Ive never owned a turbo'd car before so driving back and feeling boost kick in at 3.5k was an experience. Anyway, for those out there looking for cool people to do a good job on your rotary, again, check for my boy's Yoshi n Yosuke over at Neptune Speed

Let me tell you guys this. My motor is ORIGINAL. I got my car tuned 2 times at neptunespeed and i have had no problems watsoever. Strong vacuum, no issues with driveablility. I raced someone with a Kan tuned streetported motor 12psi and i was creeped past him.
I give neptunespeed respect for their tunning. My motor is lasting and im happy.

Didn't understand that at all, but yes, they tune power FCs, and if you have an FD, yes, get a power fc.

UPDATE: So I pretty much burned my bridges with Neptune Speed. Am I extremely upset as well as disappointed in myself? Indeed I am. This completely sucks and I cant believe I got myself in this situation. I totally respect/appreciate everything Neptune Speed has done for my FC and I fucked it up bad.

My car was done and I found myself short on cash for my balance due for the services provided. I paid about 60% of what was due and the rest I agreed to pay off towards the end of Jan. I guess major financial turn of events took place and I ended not having money "AT ALL" plus yosuke let me take my car home. DAMN.

It's now March, and I still owe about 20% of the balance due, Ive since sent them money, but not all of it yet...man, i am so highly down right now...I could just give up this whole Rotary thing....sigggghh.
