I gotta assume we have some cause Dodaddy has to have tuned his ride for up here,he is in Portland,OR. so I am sure there are some good local shops.

Adorian

Ill ask Erik when he gets home where he recommends his final post was Ft Lewis.

Welcome to WA in advance

dodaddy

What kind of fuel management and setup are you running?

In the Portland area I recommend:

Surgeline Tuning
PRE (Performance Race Engineering)
PSI (Portland Speed Industries)

In washington im not too familiar with tuning shops unfortunately but Portland isn't too far from ft. lewis!

never heard anything bad about Intec in Kent. the mazda crew loves going to Speedware in Redmond. I love just visiting the place. its like a showroom/museum of sports cars ranging from classic muscle cars to high end exotics. Labor is $85/hr. Kelly is our contact person.

thanks guys..
Honestly as far where Ft.Lewis is from these place i have no idea, lol..

online i also found KAIZENSPEED.com anyone heard anything about them ?

As far as my set up.

Dezod Stage 1
AEM FIC
and will have my built motor in 3-4 weeks, so hopefully everything will be installed mid june and once i transport the car to WA i will brake in the motor and clutch, then tune it and would love to go to some meets over there )
So you guys can show me whats good about WA.

Intec is about 30min away from Ft. Lewis. Speedware is about 50min. Theres also, Fastlane motorsports right outside the gates of McChord AFB which is next door to Ft lewis. and there is also Axiom Motorsports in lakewood which is about 2miles away from Fastlane.

cool, maybe i'll see you around post when we redeploy. but sry i don't know any shops.

I was pleased with Intec's work, customer service and all. I'm not sure what dyno they use

Speedware motorsport is also a great place (not sure if they dyno tho).

I haven't heard of any the other shops, but i'm sure if you google them you'll find something on them.

my car is at Speedware right now getting alignment and corner balancing. I asked Kelly and they don't have a dyno. I think Intec has one of the cheapest rates for Dyno at $45 for 2 runs.

ratcityrain

that's why i chose intec for my turbo is 'cause they had a dyno there already

i believe you are right it is $45 for 2 pulls

itsCJ

when are you gonna go back and get stuff done to your car? I'm thinking of dynoing my car again since there seemed to be something wrong with the place I went to. Ppl were getting bad air fuel ratios.

ratcityrain

when I have the money I will get the new clutch & then have it fully tunes to get away from the greddy base map tune

Just spoke to Reid about few things.

He reccomended to get a standalone with built engine, he also said we if they will tune it he want to break in the car on the dyno and charge for AEM EMS everything tuned would be $700.

Also i asked him about LSD install and he gave me a quote $650.

I would like Adorian to chime into this and give her opinion as far as the tuning price.
They use Dyno Dynamic dyno.
Reid also invited me to their shop so i can take a look at the shop and meet him.
And everything is good i will just deliver the car to them from TX..
The only thing is their shop is like 3 hours drive from Ft.Lewis.

What do you guys think ?
anyone heard ANYTHING about kaizen?

scikotictc232

They are 10 minutes from my house. I visit their shop often. Both are good guys but I have never had them tune any of my cars. All my friends have though, They did my polyurethane bushing swap. They are the only shop I am personally familiar with, besides rods cars but I do not recommend them. All I can say is check them out and see what every one else says bout it. They have a Skyline sitting in their shop that will be pretty sick.
