Need to find Houston area z tuner

wstar · 06-08-2009, 01:11 AM

I don't really know much about import shops around town, or any Z-specific ones either, so I can't help too much. But I can say I went in for Dyno runs at both Carboy and EngineLogics, and they both seem to work on imports, and they both seemed like quality shops. You might give them a call and talk to them about the kinds of work you want done and see what they say. Both are on the SW side of town, roughly in the vicinity of the intersection of Beltway 8 and 59S.

IPP is known for their engine builds with 350Zs. They're in Spring, so it's a drive, but they definitely know their way around a Z car.

How about Z shops in the DFW area?

Mute your speakers if you're at work. There's some pretty awful techno that starts automatically.

There's also SGP, but they had some pretty serious issues over on my350z with a member from near me.

Yep--Carboy in Houston does great work. They did a bunch of stuff for me when I had my RSX a while back.

Funny techno thump. Whump whump whump with some robot and exhaust noises. Fortunately it stops after about 30 seconds. I'll check'em out.

I had a bad run in with Engine Logics. My friend had an overheating problem with an early 90's Eclipse. I told him to take it to Engine Logics as Brad had done awesome work on my 240sx; so, they changed out the water pump. OH YEAH! DID YOU KNOW WATER GOES IN A WATER PUMP?! So, after the drive home there was nothing left of that motor and the water pump wasn't even the problem... it was a cracked radiator.

Just my minor input. I am not biased against Engine Logics, like i said they had done some awesome work for me previously.

So they left the coolant system dry after the water pump swap? Ouch.

Although, even at the best shops mistakes happen sometimes. I'm curious what the resolution for that was (if that's public). Did they put a new motor in for him?
