Inline has great customer service.....

Carboy...are they still around? Only take it there if you want your car stolen after they dup your keys.

As much as I hate to say it, st00pid is probably your best option in Houston. Maybe he has gotten better about getting back with people than when I tried to get him to tune me. (18 months ago or so).

My recommendation is Jason H. aka st00pid. He has has a long history in various racing orgs and a variet of experience with fuel injection and building. As an engineer, Jason has displayed that he truely has an understanding of fuel injection, combustion engines, etc. I can't say hes the "best" because I have no way to justify that or what even defines "best", but he is the only one I have tune my cars, Honda or not.

Jason currently works at Autologic, which recently moved to a new location.

Jason is a difficult person to reach and certainly does not have regular hours to my knowledge, but last I talked with him, he is tuning/working for Nopi Drag team and is in and out of Houston as a result.

Inline Racing.

Im very pleased with what they did for my car. Huy got 200 whp out of my gsr (pistons/cams/header). He's a very straight up guy.

In regards to the post of him blowing up engines, that post makes it seem that is all he does when he dyno's/tunes a car. Thats not true. I believe the majority of tuners have had an engine blow for whatever reason.

However, lately, I've seen nothing but good numbers be put out by Inline.

I know this guy that went to Huy for work. After Huy did work on the car, it was running OK, but not much better than before he went in. While the car was at the shop, Huy wanted to try a side exit exhaust on his car, which was taken off of a white hatch that blew up at the track (B20/VTEC using Eagle rods and improperly torqued rod bots went BOOM). After installing the header, Huy took it for a drive, took a turn to fast and ended up totaling the car. He made the customer claim it on his insurance. EDIT: I beleive the customer was compensated with no charge labor and parts in his next car, though.

you are an *******. do you have any idea how many engine's all of the major shops here in houston have built and blowen up. all of them have. from jason to others. everyone has built an engine or tuned and engine that blew up. just go to houston-imports.com and you can find where all of them have blow up a turbo engine. turbo engines allways blow up. it is a matter of when not if buddy. by the way before you say anthing i know a lot about turbo car's. i drive a red 2003 evolution 8 everyday buddy. over 50% off all turbo honda's blow up. that is a fact you just happy to be one of the unlucky one's.

I guess maybe he learned how to tune engines at the expense of blowing up customer's engines?

The way you tell this story is very biased against Inline Racing. What have they done to you? Did Huy kill your family or something? Let's hear your own personal experience with Huy and Inline Racing, instead of parts of stories you wish to tell, which you have heard from whomever. If Huy doesn't get on here and set the story straight, I will myself.

I can personally vouch for Huy at Inline. He is a standup guy and takes care of all his customers. He does almost everything in-house, and takes responsibility for all of his work. If you don't believe me, why don't you contact him and ask him to tell you what happened to the two customers mentioned above. Ask for their phone numbers and see what they have to say about Inline Racing and Huy Tran.

I wouldn't believe what haters have to say on the internet until looking further into the situation.

As for other shops in houston, my recommendations depend on what kind of work you are looking for. I would suggest Inline Racing over any shop in Houston. Jason@Autologic is also an excellent fabricator and does a very good job tuning cars. He would be my second choice.

You have to realize that when **** happens, people always blame someone else.

Both cars that I am referring to were all motor cars, not turbo. Who cares what you drive??

Mike: Your car is one I am referring to (the white hatch). I have the video still of your engine blowing up. I ran Eagle rods in my B20/VTEC for 15k miles before I broke it, how many did you run? Mine broke because the thermostat stuck closed and heated up, cracking one of the sleeves (or it would still be running today).

I know the guy who's car he wrecked, and thats just as the owner told the story to me.

I have no personal experience with neither Jason or Huy (Inline).

Good luck!

I'm pretty sure there is a big difference between your B20VTEC and my LSVTEC. My motor was an all out race motor designed to run at the track and very little on the street. The guys who are serious about going to the extreme with all motor setups understand how hard it is to get power. My motor was well capable of putting down 270+ WHP after tweaking a couple things. How much power did yours put down, and what did it run in the 1320'?

Regardless of why my motor broke (when i looked at the broken parts, it appears the rod bolt sheered off), Huy took it upon himself to build me a brand new motor on him. Huy is one of the few who truly understands what customer service is all about. If i am given the chance to go back in time and spend time and money to build my hatch again, I would still go to Huy to get work done that I don't have the means or time to take care of.

 

Well, my engine was built more for the road course, I did a HPDE with it, and some auto-x as well. It put down about 200whp, but had a hella nice torque curve ( http://texas.hybridgarage.com/photos/dynosmall.jpg ). CTR cams, JDM 4-1, and other things limited the power output. My new engine puts 287hp to the crank, I've not had it on the chassis dyno yet. Same engine just sleeved and now running Hytech header and some special "Bumpstix".

I saw the pics of your engine busted. Why do you think rod bolts sheered off? Improper installation? Most people experience this problem with eagle rods because they don't properly streth the bolts. Mine reved to about 8500 or so, and had mine been an LS/VTEC, it would still be alive today.

Huy is well aware of how to properly torque down ARP rod bolts.

I think my rod-bolt snapped due to the extreme nature of the motor I had. It also could have very well been a bad rod bolt. The whole matter was something that is really hard to say why it happened, but I am thankful Huy built me another motor. (this time not using Eagle Rods)

As for Tien's hatch being wrecked, I am not aware of what all circumstances surround the situation. Tien's hatch was pretty cool, and I wish I would've gotten to see it haul *** a few more times.

 

dude, you don't know me, you've never met me in your life, what've I ever done to you, most of the time I go way out of my way to help my customer out, you're straight up talking out of your ***. The two cars that you've mention above are both of my friends' cars, the white one belong to mikesrex, all this talks and you didn't even know the white car that blown the rod belong to mikesrex, ask him if I took care of him, obviously I did, that's why he vouch for me, as for the red hatch that we tried out the sideexit header and wrecked, that car belong to my friend Tien, Tien is like my younger brother, ask him if I charge him any labor to build that entire car, yes the car was wrecked, and what do you do when you wreck a car and you have insurance?? YOU CLAIM YOUR INSURANCE, THAT'S WHAT PEOPLE DO DUMBASS, so before you talk out of your *** again, check your facts *******

 

show me how many other engines that I blew up, you said that the guy went to my shop and get works done and it didn't do much better afterward, I'm very sure you're talking about Tien who is Toan's younger brother, which is your friend. You mean the balck eg hatch that you fucked up one cyl by trying to chipped out ecu with "your chip", the car was pinging and knocking like crazy when it got to my shop, I "opened" up the chip and realized your dumbass used the wrong injector multipler and 33 deg total timing on a gsr engine with CTR pistons. The car was later put down 174whp with 1 ailing cyl. Tien's red hatch put down 221whp, I even have the dyno sheet to prove it and that's a complete new engine that was built/ported/tuned by me, that's not much better??? here's Tien phone number 832-867-5286, anyone has doubt can call the owner of the so above mentioned car to prove my facts, I have never experienced nor met this guy who talking mess about me in my life

 

David R... who the hell are you? It sounds to me like you are just a nobody.

you are sitting here talking about how he screws customers over... and the very same customers you are talking about are in this exact same thread defending huy. Do you have any idea how clueless you look right now? You said he blew up countless motors but you could only come up with 2 known instances, one of which was a wreck not a blown motor.

I have a turbo DA, built and tuned by Huy from Inline racing... It has only had a couple problems in the past but nothing was a big deal and each time Huy stood by his work, hooked me up, and got me back on the road. He is an honest business owner and a highly skilled tuner, especially in the field of all motor hondas.

He can build you a car that fits your needs... anything from a tame all motor setup, to an 11 second all motor street car, to a full blown race car.

 

Whoa, blown up. I'll retort.

My friend's car was pinging before I touched it. Anyone knows that CTR pistons in a GSR mean trouble on pump gas, 13:1 compression is too much. I tried reducing base timing, and adding more fuel, but the damage was already done before I even started on it. I guess you didn't look at the map that closely, because it was a stock P30 ignition map! He went to you after that, not sure what he said. I worked on my friend's red hatch so much(when it was his brother's), I was just tired of working for free for them.

Why post his number on the internet, I know he wouldn't apprecaite it, I would remove it. Did you ask him if you could put his number on an internet forum?

As for you wrecking his car, your shop must have insurance, right? It was wrecked on your clock, so you should take the hit, not HIM.

If you want to talk, PM me your number and I will call you, I have no problem with that.

Good luck.

Do you really believe this, if it's built and tuned properly?

 

You still haven't answered my question.

Who are you? Are you supposed to be a tuner or something? Do you post on Houston-Imports? Do you work for a Houston shop?

I remember Huy being the one who tuned Tein's car unless he failed to mention taking it elsewhere. Tein's car ran strong for a pretty long time with no mechanical problems. How can you say it wasn't properly tuned if it withstood race after race AND made good power for months. It would still be around if it weren't for the wreck.

 

100 turbo cars built 50k miles later. half will have detination of some kind. proven fact if it is a honda

 

Proven fact? lol c'mon


Of the turbo cars that do have issues, i'm confident in saying 75% of them were a result of bad assembly or bad tuning.
