hi all, do any of you guys know a good tuner in CA, espically for evos
thanks

 

up here in the bay we got works and vishnu as the leading evo tuners.but there are shops also that wouldnt mind helping you setting up your evo.where is northridge anyways?socal?

 

thanks, i live across tampa ave

 

What about in Los Angeles area, preferably in San Gabriel Valley area. Vishnu is too far for me.

 

the problem is that all the good tuners are in san fransico, not in LA

 

do you know any shops aroung the LA area or the valley who would install some small parts?
thanks again

 

So there are no tuners in LA???? wtf....

I am thinking of moving to Redondo Beach and am looking for tuners in the area...

 

XS Engineering....they're in SoCal....and they work with the HKS F-CON V Pro (arguably the best engine management system you can get for your EVO)

 

XS Engineering? Where are they located? Do they have a website? Do they do engine work as well, like stroker kits, turbo installs etc?

thanks,
-Doug

 

Huntington Beach, CA - 714-698-8300

 

thanks man...I'll check them out...

Do you live in the area?

 

nope...
i'm in the Bay Area.
btw, I'm interested on how you came up with brake cooling ducts. you should take pictures and post them

 

You are lucky there are good tuners in the Bay Area.

I don't have brake cooling ducts, just cooling brake air guides. The ones you can get from Mitsu. They are the best I have seen and work well. Although I have a friend back in Ohio that is working on cooling ducts. I will keep you posted on what he comes up with.

Thanks again for the lead on XS...

if you're a gearhead like me, I think you will enjoy SoCal.
that's the place to be when it comes to motorsports in the U.S.

there may be good tuners out here in the Bay Area, BUT the race geeks are all there in SoCal....

there's Road Race Engineering when it comes to suspension setup, etc....

then you have the playgrounds: Laguna Seca, Willow, Streets of Willow, Buttonwillow (we have Infineon and Thunderhill... )

I've tried both WORKS and Vishnu: both have different ways to go about working with the ECU...bottom-line: I think both do an excellent job (don't listen to those haters ); and yes, I'm lucky I live close to them.

I am currently saving up for the HKS unit...I want the real deal ....plus I'm tired of my P0300 error....

*thanks for the info on those brake ducts....at this point, I am willing to try anything that would cool down those brakes

 

Ya, I have not decided 100% to move here yet, but am leaning that way. I tell you I don't like that you can only get 91 octane. I currently have a Buschur/Dynoflash set at 94 octane and am dreading detuning it to 91 octane and losing HP.

I am thinking about having some more work done on the car after the first of the year when I get my tax return back. I am trying to decide if I should have that work done by Buschur before I move the car to Redondo beach or if I should just wait until I get here and then have someone do it, maybe XS Engineering like you suggested.

I was thinking about a turbo upgrade, but now I am thinking about a storker kit. That way I can keep the spool of the factory turbo and gain some torque. However I need to get some coilovers so I can get more negative camber for the track. Decisions, decisions, decisions...
