I second that statement!! You know how people always wanna talk **** when they have nothing better to do. Once I get my next 7 built I know I'll be calling Mr. Kan to come and tune it for me. Does he tune Haltechs as well as Power FC's??



Zach

According to Steve, if it's an aftermarket ecu he can tune with it. So yes, he is prepared to tune Haltech's, PFC's, Microtech's, etc...



And another plug, if you get it tuned at the event he'll street tune the car (which he prefers since it is more real-world conditions). Cost is $250 + $45 for the event which puts you at a whopping $295 and still leaves you $5 in your pocket from his normal charges. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png



If you do it elsewhere it's a minimum $300 plus you have to pay dyno fees.

I really want to tune my car..just got it!!!! BABI!!! so yeah..when is he coming to SOCALI! cuz iono anyone here yet so LET ME KNOW..ANYONE let me KNOW!!! thanks!

Jims5543 01-20-2005 07:31 PM

We are trying to get steve to come to Orlando Florida next month February 11th and 12th. And tune at the Winter Retreat. We just need enough people to commit and we got him.





I cannot say enough nice things about Steve. His abilities are amazing. He tuned my Motec M-4 and made my car 10X better. It drives so smooth now. Its cold start is fixed its timing is fixed and did I mention it drives like a dream now??



If you ever have the opportunity to let this guy work on your maps do it. You will never regret it.



I also find it rediculas that 3 people voted that he blew their engines. He tunes VERY conservatively I like his philosophy that its better to loose some HP and gain a LOT of engine life.





Steve is da man!

illmattik 01-20-2005 09:07 PM

What you need to do is find about 5-7 people who want to get tuned then arrange for him to come. Its that simple. I think you have to chip in for lodging but he gets there and does his thing.





Trust me its worth it.

illmattik 01-21-2005 01:47 AM

HAHA how funni, i only know me and this other guy that has a FD!!! guess im outta luck hahah..well if any SOCAL heads that want their **** tuned...LETS DO IT!!!!! i need it done ASAP! GL to all and LUCKY TO ALL THAT GETS TO MEET HIM AND GET HIS HANDS ON YOUR RIDE!

Jims5543 01-21-2005 09:34 AM

Start a thread in the regional section asking if there is interest. You will be suprised there are a LOT of poeple with FC/FD's in SOCAL.

treceb 01-21-2005 09:55 AM

or any other car make for that matter. im guessing...

ErnieT 01-21-2005 09:46 PM

whats hard to understand??? hmm intoresting!

AgentSpeed 01-27-2005 07:56 PM

My motor let go last year during tuning. It was real tired and we pushed it a little too much. Steve didn't even want to start on it but I said to try it and see what happens. After pulling the motor Bryan at BNR found that my AVC-R wires were melted together and that probably caused my big boost spike...



I've picked at Steve every time I've seen him since but he's tuning my new engine this Saturday. I'm finally going to silence the heard thats wanting a dyno sheet on the new and improved BNR stage 3's!



I voted for Excellent by the way! He blew my motor but wouldn't take payment. I had to force him to take what little I gave him...lol



He's a great guy!

snook 01-30-2005 11:05 AM

Steve tuned my car twice

he was very patient, responsible and has continued to answer my questions after the tuning session. My suggestion is to look your car over as many times as possible before he arrives so it goes smooth for both of you. he's all business there to make you happy and pay attention to your engine so don't talk to him too much while he's tuning.

Thanks for letting me know my link was bad.

I think the mods deleted my thread and added my sheets to the sticky at the top with the rest of the dyno sheets. No big deal, it was just harder to find... I updated my link too so it should take you to the correct thread. My post is the 7th one from the top.

Thats pretty vague. Your friends name, details etc?

crashdummy 07-16-2005 05:38 AM

that friend would be me....



wasnt steves fault. the ignition was wired wrong and i had alot of pinging beforehand.. upping the boost alittle was too much for the motor i guess..



but yea steves a great guy, my motor ran better blown than it did before the tuning session.
