DB Performance

RS Motors

Modern Automotive Performan

Re: where to get dyno tuned
 

DB Performance tuned my old Talon and I was very pleased, 300awhp on Holiday 92 octane and a SCM50. Was extremely happy to get those numbers since the gas was shit and the car didn't have any crazy mods.

Would go back again.

Re: where to get dyno tuned
 

Shane @ DB would be my choice for tuning. You won't find anyone on this board who recommends RS though.

Re: where to get dyno tuned
 

I'd personally go with DB. Last time I tried to get tuned by MAP I went back and forth with them for a week about my choice of electronics (HKS VPC). When they finally agreed to tune the car they told me they were booked in the near future and they would let me know. Basically "don't call us we'll call you." They never got back to me. That was in April.
I like the guys that work there, and I understand they're busy. I'm not so upset with them that I wont buy parts from them anymore, but I'm going to DB for tuning from now on. Shane is a good guy and he knows his shit.

Re: where to get dyno tuned
 

DB is the only way to go as far as tuning goes.

Re: where to get dyno tuned
 

definitely DB!

Re: where to get dyno tuned
 

+1, I'll be going there to get the V tuned next year probably.

Looks like it's 100% for DB.

Re: where to get dyno tuned
 

Going Corn on Monday. :whoo:

Re: where to get dyno tuned
 

I dont know why everyone has a problem with Ron at Rs motors. I think he's a hell of a guy! And yes Shane is the man!

Re: where to get dyno tuned
 

+1 more for Shane@DB

Re: where to get dyno tuned
 

Shane at DB, hands down! I'm pretty sure my car would have of blown up several times by now without Shanes amazing tune.

Re: where to get dyno tuned
 

Shane is the man.

Re: where to get dyno tuned
 

I don't have a problem with him at all, seems like a nice guy and always willing to help out. I've just always gone to Shane @ DB and been very pleased.

Re: where to get dyno tuned
 

I got to this party late, and there's no more room on his nuts to grab onto. Instead I'll say that I got my car tuned at DB because the price seemed like it would be better, they came highly recommended (as you can see in the above posts) and I already kind of knew Shane.

Ronald at RS seems to be building/tuning 600hp hondas and evos left and right, but I didn't know him, and I need someone tuning my car who respects it, and me, honestly. I can't just leave my car with anyone.

Re: where to get dyno tuned
 

Ditto. Ron's tuning is fine, but I would rather personally goto Shane because he's got more experience. There's nothing wrong with RS, Ron has always been a cool guy.

Shane

Re: where to get dyno tuned
 

Nothing against MAP and RS, as I like everyone that works at those shops but I recommend Shane and Danny at DB Performance.

Re: where to get dyno tuned
 

But how long do they last? I see lots of stuff come out of RS but before long its back apart for one reason or another, the list of reasons is endless. I like seeing a shop that puts out cars and doesn't see them again for months or years.

Re: where to get dyno tuned
 

The only reason my car runs right is because of Ron. I have had many issues with it and he's helped me the whole way. He just helped Kia and I know Kia was impressed. Not trying to start a Tuner war or anything at all because I think they all are good. I did go to Ron this summer and dint make the power I wanted to. So I went to shane 1 month later and when I came in I put down 335 whp and when I left it was 335 whp. I made the same amount of whp from both tuners. I had a issue with phantom knock and possible still do. I might of fixed it but I dont drive my car in the winter so theres no reason to get it back on the dyno. And by that time i will have the bbk-b on my car. I think shane is awesome at tuning and is hands down one of the best. And I believe Ron is up there too.
I know nothing about Kasey at Map but I know a buddy just got tuned there with his Evo and he loves the powerband and had nothing bad to say!

Re: where to get dyno tuned
 

I'm planning to use Ron for some installs (suspension and probably the BBK when I'm ready for it). His shop is a lot more convenient for me than arranging to drop the car off in the NW part of town.

I've heard good things about Ron's tuning from a local X owner, who wasn't happy with another shop's tune.

Re: where to get dyno tuned
 

Or you could just come to my house on a saturday and get it done for beer/lunch :)

Ron@RS is a competent tuner, I didn't mean to say he was aweful or anything. I've been going to shane for years and people that go elsewhere seem to usually ending up at DB sooner or later after having various experiences elsewhere.

MAP has a good tuner too, Kasey. Good guy, but I still choose shane :)

Re: where to get dyno tuned
 

Scheides I know your not trying to say he was aweful. I know your not that type of guy!

Re: where to get dyno tuned
 

Thanks Scheides. Coilover & a turbo install probably wouldn't be too bad. The roll center kit and alignments are things I wouldn't even know where to begin with, which is why I was going to bring it to someone.

The Robispec KW's have been sitting in a box for a few months. I'm going to throw the rear antisway bar on next weekend--only took Perrin three tries to get me the right one.

Re: where to get dyno tuned
 

Go to DB. Iam going there this spring for a tune. I have never gone there before. But my buddy chalie use to race with him down on red rock.

Re: where to get dyno tuned
 

+1 for Shane at DB.

Re: where to get dyno tuned
 

+560000 for DB. Great experiences there!

Re: where to get dyno tuned
 

Going to see Shane at DB next Friday. I will post dyno sheet and maybe a video. Thanks ever one for your info.

Re: where to get dyno tuned
 

How did it go?

Re: where to get dyno tuned
 

Probably made 380whp.

Re: where to get dyno tuned
 

Probably more like 550whp.

Re: where to get dyno tuned
 

To make along story short. My timing belt tensioner was bad and I didn't know that. I was having some fun and the timing jumped and I bent two intake valves. So I had two new ones put in but I doubt think that place that did the work did the three angle valve job on them to mach the other ones. Me and shane were thinking that there might still be some bent valves or a bad valves guide. Because there was some oil on the number one cylinder and the other three cylinder look good.

The car run's way better then what it did. It put down 330 to the wheels. Shane was telling me that it STILL A 130 to 150 hp off of what it should be with my set up. It just stop making power even with more boost so that's why we think it the head I am going to do a leak down test and a boost leak test to see what the deal is when I get it back.

I plan on going to db performance from now on. Shane know his shit and he a very good guy.

Re: where to get dyno tuned
 

Sorry for the bad news but let me tell you man I have been there! About 10 months ago I went through the same thing, my car was down 60whp and ultimately I'm not even sure what fixed it aside from a new FMIC :(

I'm sure shane went over this with you, but boost leak, compression, and leakdown tests, then go from there.

Re: where to get dyno tuned
 

yes he did I plan on doing that when I get the car back.

Re: where to get dyno tuned
 

Well keep us up to date man, start a project thread if it gets crazy.

Re: where to get dyno tuned
 

That sux if you were expecting 400's. It's still far from a slouch, though.

Re: where to get dyno tuned
 

Whats funny to is I have a bad o2 sensor to.

Re: where to get dyno tuned
 

330 at DB is no joke.

Re: where to get dyno tuned
 

on a 35r?

Re: where to get dyno tuned
 

what boost was this at?
