I have been having problems with my setup in my tune. Any of you guys know of an s2000 AEM tunner?

 

Try double11. he is a certified tuner. in bedford.

 

For AEM expertise, I can highly recommend Kenny Tran at Jotech in Garland.

VERY conservative & reliability focused, listens to the knock sensors religiously, rolled 322/202 on my S at 9 PSI with conservative timing and an 11.5 Air/Fuel so flat across the boost range you could play pool on it. Besides a proprietary fuel & ignition map, he does some slick tricks using the AEM's built-in boost controller (e.g., RPM by load by boost pressure). Tell him (or Nick) that Stanford sent you.

He must be doing better. I've seen more than one of his tuned cars stumbling and running like hell (one turbo S on this board that will remain nameless).

I also would avoid his "help" at all costs. If you can get Kenny to actually do the work, then you've got more clout than most.

 

There goes my confidence. I have had 2 engines blown by so called (good tuners)..

 

Talk with Josh Sallee 2149577804. he is local,he is well trained and has tuned turbo S2000s.

 

Kinda puts me in a bad position, but I have to cover Kenny's back on this one. He was the one who physically sat in my S, ran the dyno, and input his own proprietary mapping and tuned the car for drivability as well as WOT numbers. When displayed graphically, his maps are smooth without spikes or binary on/off sections. I've seen other maps from the AEM boards and otherwise and they didn't look anywhere near as smooth and 3D as mine. Car's run perfectly since the AEM install, stock MPG, smooth part-throttle... integrated like Honda would have done it from the factory.

And when I was at Ennis, he and his guys let me store my extra tools & water sprayer with their trailer. They even offered to help me scrape the rocks out of my tires so I could keep from skiing down the track (VHT caused the rocks to embed to the rubber on my tires).

I'm lucky enough to have had both Kenny Tran and Mike Brink do work on my cars so I won't refute that sometimes it takes additional cycles to get the work done by their assistants.

Peace,
Stantaur

 

Thanks Gerry.

Hobbyholic, I'd be happy to take a look at it for you, unfortunately I'm behind on another project right now. I have two cars that I need to tune before I can get to your's, so it will probably be a few weeks before I can dyno tune it for you. But we can get it very drivable with some street tuning sooner if you'd like. You drive while I tune.

For the dyno tuning I use a DynoDynamics chassis dyno, located at Xtreme Horsepower in North Richland Hills, 817-503-8947 This dyno allows me to tune every throttle position for maximum torque, not WOT only; and is consistent and accurate enough to show power changes with slight changes in the EMS.

The tuner that really made JoTech what they are today was/is Tony Palo. He no longer works for them, he is working on his own projects now. Tony was an assistant instructor for the EFI Advanced class I attended put on by EFI University

Cheers,

 

Tony was the man there, he fabricated lots of parts, and did most of the tuning there. I heard he left when Toyota/Chris Rado/bob Norwwod offered him more money with their race program.

 

My car is tunned already but it needs some little adjustments. I race the car every week and it runs very strong. I just need some timing and fuel adjustments..
