Hello all, I'm going to be buying a B16A'ed Honda Crx in the next day or two and from what I was told it could benefit a lot from a good tuning. I'm aware that it won't be cheap and I guess the more that's spent the better the car might probably be tuned but I was wondering if anyone knew some good tuning shops that I could go to. The only shop I know of is the Driver's Image and Whip Factory. Let me know of some good,honest shops please, thanks a ton guys.

One6 Motorsports is a good one. http://www.onesixmotorsports.com/ Bunch of cool guys. Don't know if they'll be to far for you, but it will be worth the drive.

 

Thanks man, I appreciate the help. So far the shops I know of now are Whip Factory, The Driver's Image, One 6 Motorsports and ProFunction. I'm not sure of any of these being good shops so I'm going off of everyone's advice. Oh and One 6 isn't too far, I'm not worried about driving a couple hours and we all know Hondas get great gas mileage so that's not an issue The only thing I worry about is good shops doing good work and being honest. We all know that there are places that try to nickel and dime you.

 

never been there before but heard good things about speedquestracing. Seen a lot of there cars a GLD. It's a good drive out of the chicago area towards wisconsin border though.

btw is this just a stock b16 w/ bolt-ons only?

It's a B16A with all the bolt ons you can get and it has a head package from Gude which included cams, pNp head and a matched throttle body. I've heard a lot of good and bad about Gude but the guy I'm getting it from says that after he installed the head he said it seemed quite a bit more powerful using the "seat dyno"(his *** driving the car haha) so... it also has a Vtec controller and whatever bolt-ons one can think of. The internals of the engine are stock but everything else has been changed/upgraded. I plan on turbo'ing this eventually as well.

im pretty sure one6 doesnt have their dyno going, Profunction has their in house dyno going and i have personally experienced 2 personal cars tuned by Mikey over there, hes a magician for tuning. ive heard good things about dave at whip factory also. Good Luck

 

I'll probably go to either one6 or Profunction to get the thing tuned. I don't know much about Whip Factory but I don't like how they want everything so crazily scheduled and they seem pretty strict on rules before touching your car but I don't really know, I guess I'll have to pop into a few places and talk with the guys working there. Profunction and Whip Factory sound like the way to go though.

like this one


Sorry had to do it nothing personal, it's vtec not vtech

 

Lol, that would be a good mod right there but I knew it was Vtec but for whatever reason I typed "Vtech" simple mistake. I should go and pick one of those VTECHs up and mod it to fit my Vtec controller haha.

 

topsetup - charlie is the man (seriously)
profunction - mikey knows his stuff and can tune like no other
whipfactory - good for hondata, but I don't think they work with anything else
one6 - mark is a good guy, I don't know anything about having them tune a car
speedquest - I haven't talked with the new owners, last I heard they were going the way of the ricer, hopefully the new owners are turning it around.
driver's image - (my mother taught me that if I don't have anything nice to say don't say anything at all)


topsetup or profunction get my vote for tuning.
