My name is Ricky Nichols. I offer Remote Tuning & Troubleshooting service to the DSM Community. I was the first person to offer this service on this forum and have tuned hundreds of cars with many satisified customers.
Are you having trouble getting your car to run properly, or think it just has more potential? Have any question regarding what you should do next, or if a part will match your setup. Ask me anything!
I've been tuning DSMs for almost 10 years and have had many great successes.. Just check my Feedback. : http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/itrader.php?u=63101!.
I built the engine and tune TalonDave's 8 Second Talon on an HX40.... I am no stranger to what it takes to make these cars FAST!
I specialize in ECMLink V3, and DSMLink V2 remotely however can be convinced to help with just about any ECU configuration out there.
I do not only tune DSMs.. I build them from the ground up.. I've been around long enough to know what works and what doesnt.... Need an engine built??? Dont hesitate! I have built and shipped mild to race engines all over the country! ..
Are you a do it yourselfer and like to be part of the action? Want to learn? .. I have no secrets... I will gladly answer any question you may have along the way as to what to do and why to do it... If for some reason I do not know the answer.. I will do my very best to find it, and am 100% honest about anything I do.. This is not my career..just my passion .. so I try to share any information I can.
I am also inclined to travel just about anywhere to help somebody out.. Several times I've met people that needed help IN PERSON even a thousand or more miles away from me. I have literally packed up MY DSM with tools and parts, and drove 12 hours 1 way, to help a fellow DSMer from this site tear his engine out, rebuild it, and get it back in his car in time to race at an event that was 3 days away!.. I even entered my DSM and raced with him and then drove it home..
Pricing varies depending on the overall situation/time spent.
PM if you're interested more in my services. I can assess your situation, and we can make your car run like it never has before!

Prerequisites for tuning
1. Do a proper boost leak test. Pump the system up to at least 5 psi MORE than you plan on running.. it should leak down very slowly and steadily to zero... ..If it drops quickly initially and slows down it signifies a boost leak at the higher pressure and should be resolved.
2. Verify base timing is set to -5 degrees TDC. This needs to be done with a timing light, and the timing connector grounded .. This does not usually apply to you guys using a 2g CAS as base timing is not manually adjustable w/o adjusting the entire map.
3. Your car should be HEALTHY, Check for turbo shaft play, check compression,verify the plugs and wires are good, verify your plug gaps are set correctly etc. before we start..
All of these things are VERY important when tuning a car...If you have all of this resolved before we start tuning then your bill will be smaller since I spend less of my time telling you to do this later ;-)..
