As the title says, does anyone know of a good hondata or aem tuner in the Pittsburgh or Clevland area? Thanks

 

Contact boosted hybrid on here or GruvyTune

I think they're both in Eastern PA. Nowhere near Pittsburgh or Cleveland. Pittsburgh sucks when it comes to finding a tuner or decent engine builder.

 

Jeff is in Eastern PA. Gruvytune is in NY.

Jeff (Boosted Hybrid) and I have made the trip out to the Pittsburg area (Butler specifically) and it was about a 4.5 hour drive. Two people have made the trip out to Boosted Hybrid who were from the Pittsburg area to have their cars tuned. I know at least three more will be making the trip out this way in the next few weeks, so some people are willing to travel in order to have a decent tuner tune their car. After speaking with several of the guys from Pittsburg, it was pretty evident that there aren't really any tuners out in that area.

 

I'm the one Jeff came to see in Butler (40min from the burgh) and he is the
man around this area to go see. I also made the trip to see him and it's not
a bad drive.It's a little long but not bad overall. Here is a thread to my car, you
can't go wrong with Jeff. https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=844766

 

Would be nice to find someone local, but a trip to eastern PA wouldnt be too bad. does jeff tune both aem and hondata?

 

Yes I believe he does both!

 

sick car BTW Mike. I am located a bit north of butler.

 

really? We are planning a meet on Saturday if your not busy. I think we
are meeting in Cranberry at 1:00 at Quaker Steak n Lube. If your not doing
anything stop by.

 

i think i might be going to the swap meet in new castle at the larwence county fairgrounds on saturday, if not ill try to stop. ill be rollin in my jeep though because the integra is in my garage and undrivable atm

For a basic engine swap in a $1500 car, I might go there. If you have a nice car, then stay away. Be afraid. Be very afraid. Ironically, your comment about them being "the best shop around" might be accurate because they're the ONLY ones around here who do imports. People take their chances with that place because there are no other choices! I've heard waaay too many horror stories. How many engines has the co-owner been through in his ITR? Built by Golden Eagle, blown up by H-D, blamed on RC injectors. I went there a while back and waited for what seemed like 30 minutes to talk to someone. No one was around. No one came. The place was filthy and looked like a junkyard. The garage doors were wide open with customer's cars inside and windows and hoods open. I left. They should be glad I'm not a thief.

They're obviously friends of yours and I know you want to hook your buddies up. Nothing wrong with that. Sounds like business is booming because Jay is "so busy with other stuff." You might want to tell them that they lost a customer that day. Who knows how many other customers left with similar experiences? Like I said, I've heard **** from other people. They're not dishonest as far as I know, just extremely careless with people's cars. There will be a day when competition comes. It's inevitable. If they clean up that shithole and respect others property they might survive.

actually the RC injector did fail hence the reason NO ONE from their uses them and we sell precisions now . as for erics car the pintal got stuck leaned cylinder 3 out and detonated itself to melt the top of the piston. eric then talked to some people at jotech and said they had the same problems and that is why they don't use them anymore.

sorry the garage is dirty man, I dunno maybe because it is a garage . and as for the 1500 dollar car comment that is a joke. some cars that have come out of there are pretty much show stoppers and fast to boot(Feez's miata, grey 240 from WOW, georges eclipse, brians blue civic, a FIZZ sponsored JDM front end GSR, my car had everything done there) yes jay and eric are 2 of my best friends and they are the best around because they are the best. Hybrid does the best swaps for a reason other shops close cause word spread we do the best work. NO car has come back there that jay didn't fix right away. if he does a swap it will be done right or it won't leave the shop period.

as for quality of work we have had cars from VA, NY, and ohio at the shop. I think there would be some import shops between here and rochester or NYC don't you? If you have a problem with the way it is run CALL don't post stuff you have no idea about on honda-tech and make us look bad and don't listen to rummors ask someone at the shop what happened to erics car before you go blabbing on the computer. What happened to his car is the honest truth period. since he started runnin the precisions we have had zero problems and the car went 12.8@116mph on street tires with his old t3/t04b......if anyone needs some info that is the truth on the shop let me know.

I noticed you were told about Hybridynamics, and the comment JPowers made about them. I totally disagree. I live about 20 minutes away from them. They did my swap a while back (ls into '92 cx), and I have nothing but great things to say about them. Yes, the garage is messy and the prices are a bit steep, but their service backs it all up. My story: I had 3k, needed a motor bad, and had heard about their place. I drove up and talked to Jay about everything. I paid 2k for a complete '95 ls swap with EVERYTHING. I paid in advance. Took about 1 week for a low mileage motor to get there, and Jay called me when it did. I drove up at 11AM and he called me at 5 to tell me to pick up my car. Yes, I paid the $500 for the install, but the time it took and the service was worth it. He gave me a 120 day warranty with it, and cut me Hybrid decals also. He said if I ever wanted it dyno'd or tuned, bring it up. If they were that bad of a place, they could of took my money and said they didn't know me. Like I said before, I know the prices are high and the garage is messy, but they are very busy, why do think that is?? Hybridynamics gets a from me.

 

since im the co-owner of the ITR you speak of then allow me to set this straight.

[B]we respect ever customers car that comes in there, we stand behind our work 100% and if theres a problem we do what we have to to take care of it. Hybridynamics is a 2 man operation, i also have a full time job so that leaves one guy there 50% of the time to run a garge and a showroom( which are a block apart) if you were there for what "seemed" to be a half an hour then im sorry, but as far as us leaving an open garage for that length of time thats not true. to go with your horror stories that you have heard sbout the shop hes one from a local board from another shop:

"thanks to Jay
for taking time out his busy sechudle to come down and help us out on the wireing job for the gsr swap

mutch appreciated!

shows alot about a company that after working on there own project till 3 am and still get up and show up at another shop to lend them a much needed hand!!"

scrappy(and everyone else who chose to read this)- sorry to have to post this stuff in your post, but i just wanted to clear a few things up.

 

See? Even going the extra mile to help people out online, and even being honest at that

 

i beleive i talked to you for a little bit at the World Of Wheels a while back, i talked with Brian (blue coupe) a little bit more but both of you seemed very insightful on what you guys were doing and that you were more than willing to help people out.

I have some shots of Brian's car if you would like them for your website.

 

Well Uncle Ben, It sounds like you agree with me. You had a cheap car and needed a swap. The price sounds reasonable to me. I think that's the main reason for all the business, and who can argue when you got free stickers so you can advertise for them.

BoostedITR41, I never knew that RC made pintle injectors. Why is Eric having someone else tune his car when Jay can supposedly do it?

Just because a few nice cars have been worked on there doesn't mean that they were responsible for making them so called show stoppers. Listing a few cars means nothing to me.

Also, quit saying "we" and "us" like you work there and are part of it all. They're good friends of yours, that's it. Maybe your job is to make posts on the internet with hybriddynamics in your sig?

Nothing I said was false. It happened just like I said. There were no rumors. They are careless. I've been told this point blank by other people after I shared my bad experience. You actually expect me to call and tell them? They rarely answer the phone anyway.

nekkedR, I see you made a post in response to mine when I logged off briefly. It's good that you stand behind your work, but I wouldn't expect you to admit to leaving the garage doors open for so long. It happened. Just be more careful in the future and clean that garage up. I'm not talking about the cars outside. The garage is a catastrophe. Admit it. First impressions are important. The bias ply tires on the wall are a nice touch though!
