10K,

 

I can't think of any local shops I would trust with that install. Take it up to Dallas and visit RP (Rotary Performance) www.rx7.com

 

My friend Curt at Track Time Performance could do it. He's very thorough, honest and has a nice shop. He's always got some track car in there he's working on.

 

Do you have a phone # I can reach him at? Also is he able to tune rotarys engines, that is the part I'm concerned most about. I'm not looking to up the boost of the stock e-manage map I'm ok with 7psi for now, just want it to run like it should at that boost level.

I was over there yesterday and mentioned it to him and he said no problem. He did my friend's 3rd gen engine replacement. We're trying to have a meet at his shop the first weekend in April. Curt's number is 832-375-0933. Whoever answers the phone may answer it as C&C's Northside Motors since he also does alot of work for Lexus during the week. I'll get some pictures of his shop if it makes you feel any better. He isn't a shack behind a shop somewhere. I'm there alot. It'll get done right.

 

Sounds great! I'll give him a call on Monday to get the installation price.

Thanks RG! :D

 

If need be, I'll help him install the thing if it makes you feel any better. He is my friend after all and I have already pulled the exhaust manifold off of the car and know how it is done. I'm not sure if he will be able to give you a quote over the phone. If he's never personally seen the Greddy kit, he won't know how much is involved. It may just be wise to set a time to bring everything over there and let him see what all is involved. That way you can also meet him and see the shop and get the feeling if he is the person you'd like installing it or not. I trust him and know that he is good but for you as a consumer, it may be wise to meet him anyways.

 

I can help out too. I owe Curt the 8's service manual. RG and I have already taken off my exhaust manifold so we have a good idea about that end of the deal. Curt's a nice guy and I figure its the least I can do since he let us take my car apart one Saturday.

Besides, this way I get to learn something too.
