Title: Tuning
Post by: Matt on July 24, 2003, 10:49:57 AM
Ive had my 3rd gen for a few months now, and it has a greddy boost controller, a few people have said not to turn up the boost to much before getting it tuned on a rolling road or the engine could go bang. Is it best to get it tuned before i really give the car a good hard run and play with the boost settings. Also does anyone know any good tuning places in the berkshire area

Matt, I agree with what you have been told. Get it checked over on a set of rollers to make sure that its not running lean. This is the killer on rotarys when running higher boost.

I think you have a couple of places worth checking out.

Power Engineering in Uxbridge
Tuning Japanese in the Aldershot area
Power Station in Cheltenham

Whilst your on the rollers get them to try a couple of the boost settings, and see what that does to the fuelling.

Easy way to combat this issue is to fit a bigger fuel pump and fuel pressure regulator. Low down it will run richer, but at the top end it should help.

I understand that a lot of the Supra boys use Leon, and like him a lot.

I might be visiting tomorrow on the way to JAE, as there are a couple of bits I need.b
