Do you guys feel that an expert (and I mean expert) Honda tuner/builder can tune a VQ motor with Vortech supercharger well? If yes why? and If no why? no assumptions please

 

You are close to Jotech in Dallas or SGP in Houston, why not one of them?

 

Jotech has never tuned a UTEC the last time I checked. SGP is 4 hours away. I wouldn't mind driving there, and I've even spoken w/ Mark @ SGP a couple times. Awesome guy. But let's stick to the discussion I've put forth.

 

I dont see why not...

 

Have you asked him if he might be familiar with this motor or tuning software of your choice? He might have something up his sleeve.

 

I would be more worried about if he was atuned to the EMS you are using or going to buy , than the motor he is going to tune . Of coarse a tuner that has tuned lots of QV's is going to know more about the motor and will be able to tune it faster .

 

The engine has no idea whose name is on the valve cover.

 

I think I'd stick with someone that has VQ experience.... Too much can go wrong because of a bad tune. Just my 2 cents.

 

+1

 

Tyler GO TO SLEEP!

 

were you not satisfied with matchless performance?

 

I tried!!!

Im about to go tho....

 

Has he tuned a Vortech S2000? Should be similar.

 

Oh Matchless was great, but I'm thinking further down the line.

 

i think you are asking the same question as if you put one bullet in a revolver, spin the barrell and pull the trigger will you die

 

When I get my utech I'm going to Tony @ T1R in Dallas to tune it. He's done a variety of cars and everyone has said great things about him.

 

Yeah, I'm actually referring to Tony. He's regarded as one of the top tuners, engine builders, and fabricators around.

 

the tuner does not need to be an expert in a particular engine...he needs to be an expert in the particular software being used. If you can find someone who is both familiar with your motor AND the ecu of choice, all the better I suppose, but the latter would be the most important IMHO

 

what motor he is tuning is not necessarily the big thing its what ems or piggyback being used...so my answer is no..i would go to SGP

 

the whole thread was rhetorical.. i'm sure he already has his mind made up
