Mynes Performance NY tune

If you have been following the Mynes R53 "upgrade guide" thread in this section and you're happy with what you see, then you're in luck.

If you live in the NY area or willing to take the trip out here, Mike and I are in the works on setting up a dyno day to offer his tunes which will be around mid April or later. As talked about in the upgrade thread, any performance combo can be tuned on ALL types of fuels ( even e85 ) . We will need a minimum of 8 cars to get this started so please PM me if you want to get on the list. Tuning fee is $350 per car plus dyno time which is unknown yet. Mike will also consider a group discount per tune depending on the the turn out. If you have any questions please feel free to ask. Mike will also require a $200 deposit to secure your spot on the list in which the remainder of $150 will be paid on the dyno day plus the dyno fee which will be announced.

This will also be open for anyone to come down and watch on how a tune is done as well as a get together to see other peoples mods and to shoot the breeze.

Here's a link to Mynes thread if you havent seen it yet

2. Oxtox
3. HJB
4. Malcon
5. Lanevomr

****UPDATES****

Mike has been so kind to offer the Bosch 550cc injectors at a low low price of $300 INSTALLED during the day of the event. This is only extended to the people who are signed up for tuning. Please contact Mike right away to place your order. This can only be offered when Mike receives the $200 security deposit to add yourself to the list.

We now have our place to hold this event. Vinny Ten Racing will be hosting the Dyno Day. If you haven't heard about this Nissan GOD, he is known for building the sickest Nissans in the world with record setting cars with over 1000hp. We are still working on the dyno pricing and I will post that up as soon as we come to an agreement.

I probably won't have all my mods done...but I would make the trip down there to catch up with you, meet Mike, and check out the tuning process.

Thanks to you and Mike for taking the time to offer it up.

I know all too well what he's capable of...it's my cash flow situation right now that's not very capable.

In this order...
Finish my M45 FMIC
Extrude Honed JCW casting
Ultrik cam w/Hubie's valve train
JCW 380s or M7 400s
Battery relocate for straight exhaust
(unless my factory installed, 82k mile, six year old battery dies...then that mod will move up the list)

oooh! I may have to get in on this if funds allow. Vinny Ten's shop put a Prelude engine in my Accord 10 years ago when he still had Performance Factory in Queens.

Not more than $100. the number of vehicles signing up will determine the dyno fee per person.

Dates will be annouced after the guys get back from AMVIV. Being that everyone is concerned about not making it to certain dates, we will provide a few different times for people to come to an agreement on so the most amount of people can come.

Would really like to come down and meet you all, but it's a bit far.
Maybe I can get a Mini buddy to take a ride.
