This Lexus V8 is not stock in this car but was swapped in from a more modern Lexus sedan.

The 1UZ was recently swapped into the Corona and needed to be tuned.

After tuning, the 1UZ produces 250 whp and 264 ft-lbs of torque.

Here is the dyno video of the run:

This Rabbit is powered by a VW 8-Valve and sits on a set of BBS wheels. It produces 126 whp and 138 ft-lbs of torque.

Here is the dyno video:

When installing racing seats, a proper harness bar is needed to securely mount the seat harnesses. Seat harnesses hold the occupant into the seat better than traditional seat belts.

The bars needed to be mounted to give both the front and rear passengers enough room to be comfortable. Alex first built a 6-point roll cage to have secure locations to mount the harness bars.

The bars were left raw because the client will handle getting them painted as well as supplying his own harnesses. With the new seats and cage, this 1972 Land Cruiser is ready for some fun.

The Corvette was lowered with an Eibach Pro-Kit.

The client chose a set of OZ Racing Ultraleggera’s, which we had powder coated gloss black. The Ultraleggera’s were wrapped in a set of Nitto Invo tires, 275/30 ZR19 in the front and 345/25 ZR20 in the rear.

Make sure to read the well written feature with photos and words by Yoshi Shindo.

Here is just one of the photos from the feature,

Make sure to follow Kyle Pollard as he prepares for the 2012 Formula Drift Season. PSI will be there to support him in his 2012 Formula drift campaign.

You can have the best of both worlds with an air suspension setup.

Another project that is currently in progress is Erick Sackhoff’s ’64 Lincoln Continental. This car will not only have an air suspension setup but was channelled so that the lowest part of the car is the frame.  The exhaust runs through the frame.

There are many different companies that offer air suspension setups, which include AirRide and AirRunner, so there should be one to match your application.  If not, we can make you a custom setup.

If you are interested in getting an air suspension setup, come down or give us a call and we will be happy to talk to you about it.

The client purchased a pair of Recaro Speed seats for the front.  However, the client wanted new seats for the rear as well. A pair of similar seats were sourced for the rears. A custom mounting system was needed to accommodate the two bucket seats. One thing that the client wanted was to have the rear seats be easily taken out if needed. He wanted the flexible to carry four people or more cargo if needed.

Alex fabricated a rack system that lets the seats be securely pinned down when installed.

Above: A simple mounting system that is secure and removable.

The seats are able to be easily removed by one person.

The client can now go off-road with three of his friends and ride comfortably and securely.

The owner of this S14 brought his car in to take advantage of our winter tuning special.

Jason tuned this setup and the car now puts down 315 whp and 267 ft-lbs of torque.

This particular S2000 has a custom ERL 2.2L block. A Garrett 3076R sits on top of PFab turbo manifold. This new setup was installed because the previous GReddy setup needed to be replaced. The previous turbo had an internal waste gate but the 3076R does not. A Tial 38mm waste gate was added along with new custom down pipe, dump tube, and intercooler piping.

This setup was tuned by Jason Oefelein with an AEM EMS. It produces 350 whp and 237 ft-lbs of torque.

It is a new year, is your car ready? Many people wait until summer to have their car tuned. Why wait when you can do it now? We are offering winter tuning specials.

Power FC – any SR,RB tune D jet or L jet – 350.00* which includes dyno time.
AEM EMS gen1 and gen 2 – any SR, KA-T, RB, VG – 550.00* which includes dyno time.
Haltech- VQ – 550.00* which includes dyno time.
Motec – call for special prices
Apexi S_AFC or Neo – 200.00*

This will be for a limited time only — Ending early February

* – Price is for one fuel type and doesn’t include additional power adders like water/meth or NOS – additional charges will apply – Additionally car needs to be in good working order… No freebie diagnosis of mechanical or electrical issues. Bottom line … make sure the car is ready to be tuned.

Things I should check before scheduling an appointment.

Good spark plugs -
Fresh Fuel – nothing over a few months old – hopefully 92 octane please.
Good Tires – no bald or about ready to explode tires.
Major oil leaks – I don’t like fires!!!
Boost leaks – Not so sweet for tuning MAF
Fuel system – make sure your fuel system is capable of supporting the power you hope to produce.
Fluids – Things work better with right amount oil and coolant.

finally realistic expectations for power and a safe tune … a GT2871r will not make 900 whp even with a stroker motor

We look forward to seeing you guys.
