I'm planning on buying the zzp turbo kit. I'm going to have it shipped. I am trying to find a shop that will be able to install and tune my kit. I live in Fort Dix, NJ. Anyone know of a reliable shop somewhere near central NJ? I am willing to travel up to 300 miles (military restricts me to that).

Thanks for any help,
Travis

 

The only shop that I can think of off the top of my head is Tune Time Performance in Toms River,NJ. They do tuning there but I also believe they do installs as well.

 

well theres a shop in florida NY i dunno how far away that is for you exactly and trifecta and I can help you tune it

they've done a bunch of eco turbo swaps including a few notable ones on the forum, and a 2.2 sc install

 

I pretty sure thats well over 300 miles I'm about a half hour from Ft. Dix. There used to be a speed shop not to far from me but he doesn't do installs anymore.

 

nope it's about 130 miles each way 2.25 hours

 

oh wait I just reread your post I was thinking of the state. reading>me

 

haha it's cool man lol i wouldn't have suggested that haha

tune time is in NJ however i've heard not so great things about their 4 cyl work.. they're great on bigger engines though

vince has tuned turboed 2.4's before and this shop has done turbo swaps on ecotecs zzp's setup doesn't look to hard to install either

 

I went to tune time performance for a dyno tune. They did a great job; however I would prefer a shop that has a lot of experience with the ecotec.

Who is vince?

 

IIRC he is the same guy that does tuning for our car using Trifecta. He is a great guy from what I hear and seems to know his ecotecs really well.

 

tune time

 

as stated vince is from trifecta performance.. they tuned my setup and have tuned at least 5 turboed 2.4's on here and all but like 3 boosted 2.2's on here as well as all the cammed 2.2s
and a bunch of sc'ed 2.4's

 

As far as I can tell, there are no trifecta shops other than in WA.

 

My impression of the turbo kit was that it came with a tune already. A) you can send in the PCM and have them set the tune, or B) they send you a temp till you send yours in and they program yours and send it back. Is this incorrect what i am thinking. Also if they do send a baseline tune can you get a retune anywhere else or is it locked by them. Right? Last you could drive there and they will dyno tune your car. If i am incorrect with any of this info let me know.

 

there are dealers all over the US that work with vince

and yes it does come with a tune .. for some reason i thought you had a 2.2 lol that being said i still have a shop that has done multiple ecotec turbo setups

 

Yes ZZP send a base tune just so you can get the car up and running. However they recommend that you re-tuned. If you live near by you can just stop in and have them do the install and tuning.

 

idk exactly where u r in NJ but theres a shop not far from me called PSI Motorsports they just did a SC install on my friends G35 he's pushing 360whp 308wtq now and they did work on my friends cavalier. they also have built supra's talons and ALOT of mustang and have 2 of there own drag cars they race. very good company there in New Tripoli, PA prob like 100 miles from u.

 

the problem is none of those cept maybe the cavalier are ecos

 

idk i would bet they would do it and it would be epic. but he should call them and just talk to them about it if they have any doubt there would be a problem they wont do it. awesome people, there # is 610-298-2800. there very good with all forced induction. they have worked on so many different motors, i'm honeslty amazed with how many different cars they have worked on when i was there to have my exhaust put on my cobalt. (it was winter and no room in the garage) there was 4 mustangs, a supra, a talon, viper, srt 8 jeep, and a couple others that i dont remember i have no doubt in my mind the could do this.

 

Thanks for all the help so far guys. I really appreciate it.

 

inline pro out virginia could do it and they do some pretty good **** building my buddies 800hp civic up now...im not sure how far away VA is from you but they arnt far into the state
