Just wondering is anyone from around raleigh,NC? I need to get my car tuned and i dont know of any people around here that even know civics can fit turbos.

Re: Whose from North Carolina?

Re: Whose from North Carolina?
 

joseph davis is in ashville, i live in greenville south carolina

Re: Whose from North Carolina?
 

I'll be in Raleigh Sunday and Monday, to tune a turbo D16Y8 and a JRSC B16 hatch. I probably won't get back out that way for another 4-5 weeks, but it might be longer due to the whole Pinks thing.

Re: Whose from North Carolina?
 

I'm in Greenville, SC

Re: Whose from North Carolina?
 

I am in Greenville, Nc. There is a shop in Jacksonville. They do awsome work. But do not go to JK Motorsports in Greenville. They are pricks.

Re: Whose from North Carolina?
 

there are a few decent shops in jacksonville. pm projekteg if you need some tuning on the eastern side of the state :y

where the ---- is he, anyways...

Re: Whose from North Carolina?
 

projekteg I'd trust to tune you right.

Re: Whose from North Carolina?
 

There is a guy Jason thats in raleigh. He did mine and ive had no problems. Very nice guy. PM and i can give you his number.

Im from Raleigh NC also. Glad to see someone else local.

Re: Whose from North Carolina?
 

I'm driving to Raleigh because of people who don't want Jason touching their car. Every time I ask why, "I was there when he was learning to tune on Phils' car." Well, I'm on my second trip down in 5 weeks, and there's already another being planned. Apparently no lack of people who know JDouche in real life who think he sucks goat balls. Which is really ------- sad, because I'm such an ADHD spacecase I'm difficult to work with since I can't remember anything for longer than 4 seconds. Shipping ECUs, primarily. :l

After George McNeil's LS dyno tune that had a fuel map leaner than a stock D15B7 (caused lean misfires on the D15B7 in my beater), which was pointed out to dear Mr Wadsworth on two different occaisions, and he did NOTHING to correct the problem with George... ---- him. JDogg made the smartass comment that UD/Crome didn't make him money, EMS made him money, so he didn't care... then later said that was a joke... but since he never rectified the problem I'm fairly confident that it wasn't a joke.

I got sick and tired of feeding that TuEnArBoI eXtRaOrDiNaIrE every bit of wisdom I had from doing all the Ghettodyne testing, all the UD testing up to v1.2, and significant seat time with Crome not to mention having blundar himself to buttonhole over finer points.... or, well, that was what I was trying to do for JDouche, but he kept asking Q's and falling on his face over simple ---- covered in basic UD and Crome FAQs. My highly specialised knowledge wasn't helping him, and he was giving me a bad name with everyone I sent his way - ---- him.

There is, frankly, no one better at tuning a pgmfi.org derived EMS in NC (most, if not all of, the SE) than myself. If I say projekteg can get the job done, then you should listen to me - I've met the man IRL, shook his hand, talked with him for most of a day. If I say ---- Jason Wadsworth, then you should listen to me - I've met the man several times IRL, talked with him on several occaisions, and had him argue with me about ---- he didn't know, and am done with the guy.

Re: Whose from North Carolina?
 

Damn :-X i did not know all of this. I only speak of the guy as I know him. The few times i was around him he seemed to be a nice guy. Then again i dont know him like you do. I had originally planned on Projecteg (Kevin) to tune my car seeing as how i allready had him make my basemap, But when it came time that i wanted a tune i couldnt get in touch with him. So after a month of phone calls and a couple of voice mails i left him i gave up on him and called Jason, whos number i got from a couple of local kids who had had their ---- tuned by him, and since then i myself have sent a couple of people to him and everything has worked out. Again though I do not know him personally, and i do not think badly of Projecteg i just could never get in touch with him. When i bought my ecu with a basemap from Projecteg he came through and seemed like a good buisness man, he was just hard to get in touch with after that.

Re: Whose from North Carolina?
 

Theres a shop in greenville called ecp, mechanic there named larry, last time i heard about him he was doin good tunes. Nice guy, JD next time your in raleigh and theres a good group let me know its only an hour away so ill cruise up.

Re: Whose from North Carolina?
 

larry does very good work. if we are talking about the same larry. :P

Re: Whose from North Carolina?
 

ECP never heard of them what kind of shop?

Re: Whose from North Carolina?
 

I think I talked to Larry once or twice on AIM, a couple years back. Seemed like a nice guy.

Re: Whose from North Carolina?
 

i'm in new bern. larry and projekteg are in jacksonville. larry does good work! projekteg hooked me tough, so big thunbs up to him!!

Re: Whose from North Carolina?
 

Ill be in Raleigh next week for good :y....but there is one guy in Raleigh that some people like to go to, cant remember his name though.

Re: Whose from North Carolina?
 

Yeah, the guy whose car I tuned today was going to go with projekteg but couldn't get ahold of him (Kevin, where are you??). The other two guys I was going to tune have dissappeared... So I am officially losing money on this trip. :(

Re: Whose from North Carolina?
 

Don't worry Joey, I'll come visit you and make it all better :-*

Re: Whose from North Carolina?
 

I'll have a meet in A'ville this summer, you guys need to roll up.

Re: Whose from North Carolina?
 

Count me in, just let me know when :6

Re: Whose from North Carolina?
 

Hey I need some help with my F22B1. I wanna Boost it anybody wanna help? Email me. jrb_1977@yahoo.com

Re: Whose from North Carolina?
 

Get an H22 crank or balance yours,forsub250whp. Lose the balance shafts. Get a fresh oil pump. Aside from that, its like boosting any other Honduh and the FAQs in the forums will steer you right.

Re: Whose from North Carolina?
 

I'm in Raleigh/Durham and will hopefully be looking for a tuner in the future myself. I'll be sure to come to this thread then for reference. Thanks Guys.

Re: Whose from North Carolina?
 

i'm from Statesville...getting my car tuned next month at Turbo Tune in Greensboro...

Re: Whose from North Carolina?
 

J. Davis is tuning my all motor set up as soon as the itb's get here :)

Re: Whose from North Carolina?
 

I dunno if I've mentioned it, but Mark is one of the best. He's supposed to be an angry, bitter, crotchey old man... but... hell, so am I. :l

Re: Whose from North Carolina?
 

well if ya need some help drop me a pm with a time and date or your number, ill see if i cant lend a hand.

Re: Whose from North Carolina?
 

yeah, i've heard alot about him being like that...it's like if he said something and you didn't here it, he'll be like "---- you" and act like your not there...

Re: Whose from North Carolina?
 

If you want a list of things you should do before going to the man, I can provide you with a detailled list.

Re: Whose from North Carolina?
 

HAHAHAHAHAHA

did you see how bad he fucked up your tune on ROb faggot Deal's ITARRRR? I rode in the day he got back home from your shop and it was the fastest car i've ever rode in/drove

i personally wouldn't trust Mark for anything but if i wanted a RICH tune, and for him to beat on your car while cussing.

i have never seen anything bad come from Jason. Howard at RLZ is becoming a competent tuner also.

Re: Whose from North Carolina?
 

i think you better tell me the list b/c i'm gonna be going there next month to get my car tuned...

Re: Whose from North Carolina?
 

It was a slow pile of ---- that bordered on okay, with many many sorting issues. I spent seven or so hours on the car, and it still had issues. :l

My wideband and EconoROM3 were fried partway through the street tuning adventure, so the car was left pig rich at idle and low rpm... due to Rob Faggot Deal's assembly, the exhaust was a stupid slip fitting, and it sure did slip off all the time. I told him to park it until I either got my ---- fixed or he *towed* it to Mark, but NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO he had to go out and beat on it and race it.

Quick little reality check here, big stud. You remember the 96 DX that the ITR swap was originally bolted into? You remember the four months it took him to destroy that car? Do you remember for a fraction of a second who the ---- we are talking about when it comes time to place the blame on how that car ran? With the possible exception of Howie - he gave Rob and engine with valvecover torqued down and dabs of RTV at the cam cap corners when the valves were *completely unadjusted* resulting in bits of valvetrain in the oilpan upon initial startup, and it is possible that with meticulous work like that the head was improperly torqued down resulting in the head gasket issue later - the fault for how that car ran rests solely on Rob's shoulders.

For the record, Mark gained 7 whp (215 from my 208) peak tweaking on my tune. That's not too shabby for a faggot NA engine. The only criticism I have of him is he couldn't figure out how to raise the revlimit in UD (FTS conflict) and was too proud to call me and ask. 215 whp, 158 tq, off of 8500 rpms/60mm STOCK throttlebody/broken collector AN-R header with big ------- gap in it.

You weren't there for all those "It won't start, Joseph, help" phone calls.

Me: Fuel, Fire, Compression - what doesn't it have?
Jason: It's got fuel and fire
Me: What's the compression, then? Check that.
Jason: It's a brand new engine, never been started. The rings haven't seated yet, so it won't have any compression.
Me: ::) You are a fucktard ::)

I've had 9 years worth of post-secondary education focussing on all the things I do relevant to cars: autotech, welding, machining, engineering (ME and EE), programming, ad nauseam. JDogg's had... most of (if not all by now) a business degree. Such passion. Such keen and piercing intellect.

Oh, I agree, Jason can get the job done NOW, but he sure learned at other people's expense. Ask the Raleigh residents who I have to perform booty calls on. :S I don't care for Jason; I don't care for someone who asks me for help on automechanics 101 (FUEL FIRE COMPRESSION COMPRENDE??) turning around and four months later telling me I don't know anything because all I deal in is theory and I don't actually tune cars. I don't have to see that fat gutted bitchboy to tell you he doesn't have grease ground into his callouses, under his nails, multiple cuts on his hands, and a good old back of the neck sunburn like yours truly does now.


I have no experience with Howard as a tuner.

You know Dick? The guy with the HF that rolled R1's when it still had the LS head on it? Dick had an opinion, ask him for it.

Re: Whose from North Carolina?
 

I'll be at that meet Jo. just lmk when it's going down.

Re: Whose from North Carolina?
 

......................i didn't destroy the ITR in 4 months...i had it over 6, :P and the final fault comes down to me either way, after not rechecking the oil drain bolt my cousin "installed" for me........resulting in the loss of all oil on interstate 77 on the way back from RLZ. oh, and it was a 98 hatch

and the 2.1.........i still feel as though i was raped on the tune from mark. the whole time there, all he did was idle adjust. he didn't even LOOK at the cam gears, and never really attempted at the raised revlimit...he just said it couldn't be done and that ud was bullshit due to too many versions and that he didnt like it. i came in rich due to the previous tuning session where i was lacking on the exhaust side.....and that was ENTIRELY my fault. I would have waited on you, joey, but i had a deadline to having the car run right.......which i didn't make, which in turn made the magizene right up dissapear as well.

Re: Whose from North Carolina?
 

I was thinking about the sweet deal you got on the car, and within 4 months it was a dirty filth pig with dents and scrapes everywhere.

There is a reason I build rusty piles of ----, I like to beat on my ---- too. Been trying to hammer that into your head for a minute now. I'm *no different* in how I drive and maintain my cars - you see what and how I drive - but after ruining two nice-ish cars I learned my lessons about 1) not starting out with a body that's too nice and 2) maintain a daily driver to keep the miles off the toy and 3) only take the toy out for specific purposes (hurting polish&shine crowd's feelings, or the F-body guys with slow LS1 + not enough nitrous, or making (heh, losing...) money at the races.

Ah, I never heard about that. :-\

Sad thing is, the UD forum had stickies about using 1.70B and nothing else... all the "other versions" were stuck in a archive folder of old versions far away from the links to 1.66 and 1.70B (the two popular versions - 1.66 had no proper datalogging except for the somewhat glitchy 1.666wootwoot, whereas 1.70B had datalogging but was 16 bit fuel maps which required a *total* retune of the fuel maps). I dunno, you saw how Trav-ASS' car ran and idled on 1100cc injectors + UD in it's first incarnation. If I'd blocked off the FIT-V and IACV it would have been a bit better without that intermittant 1000-1100 rpm fluctuation.

It's a shame Mark never called me - I understand he knows a LOT, and that he's covered up keeping track of GN, F-body, and Ford stuffs so asking for someone to set you on the inside track when you'll suck it up and LEARN real ------- quick is not a problem - but as soon as you are unwilling to learn... :l UD can control AFRs and ignition and revlimit as precisely as anything, which is the backbone of everything. Aside from maybe individual cylinder fuel and/or ignition trim, you really don't need anything else.

It was a bad situation all around. RLZ gave you mad hookups because they wanted in a magazine, but got you into a very advanced build and did nothing to help you sort the car, but still felt you let them down - or should that be looked at the other way around, they let you down? I like Brad Z a whole ------- LOT, but he works himself 80 hours a week into the ground, and isn't super available because of it. I'm an ADHD spacecase who mis-prioritizes every ounce of his time, and it was really really really hard for me to work around you because you are the exact same way, and all we did was get off on tangents... I feel like I wasn't as able to help you as I should have. You went broke trying to help RLZ by giving them a build to stick in a magazine, relying on them and friends (me) who said they would help you, and got yourself into a situation where you were financially screwed.

I still feel a little proud about the freezing 30 degree outdoor afterdark DX<-->VX wiring fangle though. Wish I'd had time to clean that harness up a bit more and make it purdy, regardless of what else happened.

Re: Whose from North Carolina?
 

the motor has had a fresh rebuilt with new pistons and some other stuff

so it will be back and stronger than ever.

BTW Joseph, what is your rate for tuning. PM me if you want you are about the only person who I trust to tune decent.

Re: Whose from North Carolina?
 

joseph, i love you man. serioulsy, you helped me out 100x's more than ANYONE. the whole situation wiht the 2.1l was screwed....but you're the ONLY PERSON THAT DID AS MUCH AS YOU COULD. From the valvetrain falling apart, to me getting lied to about the compression i was actually running, to it taking farrrrrr longer to get the engine together and built than was said, to me chaning chassis 3 different times, to me not having the car in a state where you could come down and get it tuned and be done....to all kinds of bullshit...but, ya know what...i learned. i owe $1800 on my loan...and after that, all is good.

this current hatch is gonna be a little more long term though...i've got some money coming and it'll be running soon enough...paint's coming along nicely..and the car's MUCH more situated than any chassis i've done before, other than the 98 of course, so it'll go smoother. you need to head down soon though, to get he hnb2000 ---- off my computer...and to maybe have a look-see at my CX ecu, i gotta get it to ls/v-hick capabilities....and crack rocks on dead hooker bellies

Re: Whose from North Carolina?
