^ custom make them at Cisco, dixie/britania.

they have all sorts of fittings and lines that can be sized anyway you want.

As for flanges, J&R in brampton.

ekgsr has a little shameless behaviour in the past
tuning

I reccomend neetronics in mississauga. Paul is pricy but he is conservative (runs his fuel/air maps on more of the safe side) but he made 297 whp with my b16 build bottom end, 9:1 arians and eagle rods, 3 inch exhaust with a stock greddy 18g.

how pricy is pricy? im looking at spending around $400ish.
J&R wants $600 to tune my car.(dyno and labour total)
and i mean thats some pricy .I understand i need a good tune but i also deserve a fair price IMO.

all i can say is you get wath you pay for
some people charging that cheap normaly never tunes part throttle to perfection
i have seen it happend on quite numerous occasion
i keep telling people over and over you need to know aboult the tuners background
and make sure he is qualified enough because your setup is only as strong as the tune there is in there

personnaly wen i get my car tune i leave the car their for a few days
so they can do a realy good job on it they do most of the tuning on the dyno
and do some part throttle tuning in the street
only then you can realy see how the car react and drives on
the street

even with a dart block fully built up if the tune is crap it will end up costing you a arm and a leg

just my 2 cent

zman will become famous soon enoughzman will become famous soon enough
do yourself a favour and don't go to splitfire...paul is a liar...straight up. And unless your spending big bucks there and having him build your whole setup he will do a crappy job tuning and bash your car b/c he didn't build it. My buddy spent $11K there and paul made fun of everything my buddy didn't buy from him, a fully and i mean fully built b16 w/t4 only put down 310whp. I mean come on, EKGSR got that much power out of a greddy 18g, and that turbo is half the size of a t4.
Paul kept saying, oh well i wouldn't have built the bottom end that way, and i wouldn't have used those cams, and this isn't good enough and that isn't good enough...all b/c my buddy didn't buy those parts from him.
$600 for tuning is cheap...considering dyno time/wideband o2 time costs about $150/hr.
