Great guy. He tuned my friends hatch tonight w/ a street tune. Couldn't ask for anything better from a street tune. Car runs great. Very good guy & knows his shit. Came from Virginia Beach to Richmond & it was well worth the drive. Thanks Matt & most likely you will be seeing my hatch sooner or later.:thup: :thup:

im having mine done as well, its just smarter to street tune before hopping on the dyno, you get most of the shit decently on track and spend alot less time on the dyno, therefore spending less money on dyno fees.

If you truely want to know who Clarkbar is, or why he said that. Ask him.
Hes not taking anything away from Matt. He just said it was a bold statement and it was.
There is no way to see whos the best.. The person who tunes Clarkbar's car is often said to be the "best".
:dunno:
I'd get Matt to tune my car, but there are tuners around here that cost a slight amount more, but they are easier to get to. I dont want to drive 1+hour plus to get my car tuned. Its a civic, not a 1200hp Supra.
Thats the only reason I didnt get matt to tune my car. The ease of talking to a local tuner was a great benefit.
He'll be tuning KyleVa's single slammer turbo soon, so I can't wait to see what he pulls from that.

yeah i know what you mean about the distance. i wouldn't drive that far for tuning a honda either, but luckily i live near him :)
i don't know who is the best honda tuner in the whole world...i just know that matt shue is very good at what he does and i am very happy with what he has done with my car. i'm sure there are many other very good tuners out there, but i'm just recommending who i know.

05-08-2007, 09:30 PM
Thanks for all of the compliments and support guys. There is no need to argue over who is the best tuner in the area though. That is something hard to define. Go to whoever you trust that is a reasonable distance from you. If there is a reputable tuner in your area then you may want to see them rather than driving all the way to me. It really just depends on who you want to go with and how far you are willing to travel.:)
Matt shue is the best tuner in the world.

I had my old hatch tuned by him, I spent ALOT of money to have him tune it on the street and then drive up here to tune it on the dyno. Im not talking the 150 he charges for the street tune. We will just say I had a little over 600 invested on a tune that still was not finished :mad: :( My car was on race gas and never got above 13psi. We needed to change the wastegate spring but spending 3 and a half hours on the dyno making over 15 pulls just to reach 13psi it never made the boost/power goal in mind. Im sorry to say but I watched Norris at AUP RE-TUNE a GSR matt tuned that amde 259whp to after norris's tune made 290whp in 4 pulls at the same boost from a base stock tune. Airfuel/timing was very safe from both tunes but norris tuned on hondata vs crome like matt uses. Crome seems to have alot of issues with 2 steps letting go and rev limiters not limiting the rev's like it is suppose to. I would suggest hondata over crome any day of the week. Also Matt had to give his credit card to AUP because they thought he was going to break the dyno because he tried to make a pull/start moving on the dyno with out releasing the dyno brake. I was then told I needed to take control of the brake because they did not trust him. Needless to say In future tuning sorry matt but i think you lack alot of tuning skills needed and will be taking my business else where. Again sorry but I just think you can SAVE alot of money and time by having someone who does this for a living and actualy races/set the bar for other tuners tyring to make it in the game. Good luck again with everything you have alot of people who trust in your tunes so im sure you will make it sooner or later.

On another note:
Let's knowingly sell someone a GST with crankwalk, and then lie about sending parts promised. Lets dick someone over a $40 oil pressure gauge because it will save our retard asses $40. Jason, you're such a reputable person on these forums. Your a waste of space, an agonizing quief. Go ride around in a jeep with your daddy, 300 vip boy.

taken to PM's because this has nothing to do with Matt's thread.
haha and your the one to talk. You bought a car, was told of all problems. You drove it home after the swap was completed. Car ran perfectly fine for me for 2-3 weeks if i remember right and only problem was it would fowl spark plugs from being un tuned and being overly rich. The motor that was installed was done by FCCT and was purchased from Noyan. Only problem i had was it would fowl plugs as i told you. I had 2200 just in labor to have the motor installed and i paid i think 1400 for that motor. You paid 4000 for the car if i remember right? You called me about 2 hours into your drive and said you got on it a few times and said it fowld the plugs and so you sprayed brake cleaner or something to clean the plugs to make it home or something to wva. 2-3 weeks later you say the motor spun a bearing or something. It had good compression so in that 2-3 weeks i dont know what you did, how you drove it or if something failed like the oil pump or something like that. Either way car ran perfectly fine other then it fowling plugs from running to rich AS YOU KNEW. then you tried to say It was my fault it spun a bearing. When you drove it home, it ran fine. But after you dogged on it with out it being tuned it spun a bearing (go figuer) Didnt yours and your friends dsm's BOTH spin a bearing or something fuck up in the bottom end? Maybe you guys beat the living shit out of cars and thinks break (again go figure) shit happens eat a dick it wasnt my fault shit broke and i told you i felt bad that it happend because in all honestly it thought you guys were pretty nice and hell i loved your 240 it was a beautiful car. anyways sorry again, take care.
I never bought the car, a friend of mine did, he was greatful of your VA hospitality.
Oh yeah and i didnt read anything you wrote.

Airfuel/timing was very safe from both tunes but norris tuned on hondata vs crome like matt uses. Crome seems to have alot of issues with 2 steps letting go and rev limiters not limiting the rev's like it is suppose to. I would suggest hondata over crome any day of the week. Also Matt had to give his credit card to AUP because they thought he was going to break the dyno because he tried to make a pull/start moving on the dyno with out releasing the dyno brake. I was then told I needed to take control of the brake because they did not trust him. Needless to say In future tuning sorry matt but i think you lack alot of tuning skills needed and will be taking my business else where. Again sorry but I just think you can SAVE alot of money and time by having someone who does this for a living and actualy races/set the bar for other tuners tyring to make it in the game. Good luck again with everything you have alot of people who trust in your tunes so im sure you will make it sooner or later.
I already made a response to this when you brought it up in this thread, but you never responded back http://www.vadriven.com/forums/showthread.php?t=203307 . I really dont see why you are getting mad at me because YOUR car wouldn't go above 13psi. I dont know why somebody would bring a 5psi wastegate spring when they want to make 500whp. Also just because crome has some issues it doesn't mean you need to bash me. I dont just tune crome in fact i dont even use it on my own car anymore. It has some minor issues and i've still had good success with it when people would rather use that than spend the money on something more expensive like hondata. I'm not sure what you are talking about with the 2-step, but you are right the rev limit wanted to kick in earlier than where we had it set on your car.
As for the whole dyno Brake thing i'm sorry i made a mistake and tried to start a pull with the Brake on. It was a long day driving 3 hours up there in the heat and i was just tired and not feeling well. I simply made a simple mistake. The dyno was not going to miracuously break from making a simple mistake like that. I didn't drop the clutch and start doing burnouts on the roller. I wouldn't have given him my credit card or put up with any of his bullshit if i wasn't using the dyno for a customer's car. I simply would have left. The owner of AUP handled it completly wrong and came off as a complete ass.
As for the GSR I was told that was the second time norris tuned it that it made 290whp on 11psi. We hadn't run that much boost on it before. Plus it was tuned on the DYNO. I'm sorry i didn't pull the same numbers on a street tune as what was made on a full dyno tune. Hondata isn't the reason the car made more power either. If the car is getting the proper fuel and the proper timing then it doesn't matter what its tuned on.
The price you payed was because like i said in the other thread there was a lot of unescessary time spent on this car. You could have brought the car down to where i normally dyno at and recieved a much lower price on hourly dyno time + you would not have needed to pay me to drive over 2 hours away for the tune.

either way..whatever anyone says..matts the shit when tuning..not only he makes sure the car is gonna be tuning ready and checks everything...neatless to say, some places dont even do all the preparation that matt does..my car run and pulls hard when he tuned it..and the price is very affordable! i wont go anywhere else to tune my car other than matt......:D

I was at AUP with matt when that car was tuned first of all AUP shop is a joke everyone is rued there the owner rushing us on the dyno and saying he was gonna kill matt if he broke his dyno what a fucking moron, matt is trying to tune a car there and theres another guy up his ass tell him you should get hondata blah blah. i've had 3 cars tuned by matt all have made more power than most built setups and have been more reliable than most cars. That hatch that was on the dyno wouldnt go past 13psi he had a 5 psi spring in it and a ebay Boost Controller, and to top it off you had a Ebay T70 that didnt spool up till 9,000rpm, and the turbo locked up on the way home. from my point of view matt is a good tuner and if you want to make 500whp on a setup come prepared. i bet even if you took your car to norris it still wouldnt of made 500whp hondata or not. I can Vouch for matts work and i know its top notch and i'm sure most people on here can agree.

Since i am being mentioned in here i will leave some input. When i had my turbo installed i needed a simple tune.It is the first time i am turbo charged and i did not know any good tuners around the area. Jason referred me to Matt because Matt was going to tune Jason's car. Long story short i needed a critical tune in order to drive my car safe. I spoke with Matt and he said to come down to Richmond so he can do a street tune. After spend some time in Richmond the car was street tuned at around 7psi ,and let me tell you , i was having the best time of my life when i was street tuning it.W/e we did on the streets in richmond was hardly possible to be done in NOVA. 3 lines wide, open straight roads are just a must. I had fun driving on the way back. I was also able to race a ms3 and kick some ass lol.
Tech problems, the car was not idling perfectly well. Matt & I tried figuring out what the problem was with the idle.Matt made phone calls on his expense to find out why it did that. From my own knowledge it look like the gs-r intake manifold sometimes acts funny. It was a car/ ecu problem. I also heard from others that they were expiring some problems with crome during that time. As a last sentence i don't think we can compare a street tune to a dyno tune with another ecu. It is irrelevant to compare. I think Matt is a great tuner , and he is only human. Mistakes are made everyday , and i am sure that any tuner in the world made one mistake in his life. I am sure as hell could make a mistake after driving for hours and then tuning on a car. As for tuning locally i have spoken to Matt, why i went to another tuner. A couple of reasons was the cost was going to be around the same amount, 2nd i live 5 min from AUP. 3rd the distance. 4th if something broke down, they wold have the parts i needed to fix my car etc etc. If Matt was locally i would sure let him tune my car again but first making sure i have all the accessories installed to reach my goal. Everyone gets a chance in life to be at the top. some people just chose the alternative that works best "rational behavior"

That Gsr that norris tuned it was tuned on the dyno i had my car on the dyno and it picked up 20whp just tuning it on there compared the street, so that doesnt even matter if its on hondata or chrome. I can Vouch for matts work and i know its top notch and i'm sure most people on here can agree.
For everyone:about AUP
yes the owner is rough sometimes but he doesn't care if you feel bad about it. Its his shop you follow his rules, if not gtfo simply. Even the people that work there know that he can be like that sometimes. When you know him somewhat better you will understand the theme he is trying to make an example of. I sure as hell don't want people walking under the lifts checking out cars. He doesn't want any trouble. AUP is great shop on my part, i am giving top notch service and the tech's that are on va driven all know that. AUP is about helping customers instead of making profit. One of my friends needed a downpipe installed on his legacy, the same day, because he would head down to Richmond the next morning. I called AUP and spoke to the Owner and told him i need to get it done today, he said that he was all booked for the day. Even though he is full and knows that i can go to another shop to do it, he calls me up 1 hour before closing and tells me that he has spot for me. My friend got his dp installed in 1 hour. Why did he do it ? because he knows i am a frequent returning customer and brings business to him. As for the tuner (Noriss) i don't know what people are mention about things that happen in the past, but we live in the present, i said earlier we are only human. I just told norris i want to make 300whp or high 200's with safe #'s. After tuning it for 30 min, the car was finished and he asked me me if i am happy with the result. I told him that i am surprised. i am happy with my ride, i am sure as well going to give him props.
To DK :you seem to know me ? and you are sir ?were you the one who tagged along with Matt when he came down to tune the green hatch >?

I had my old hatch tuned by him, I spent ALOT of money to have him tune it on the street and then drive up here to tune it on the dyno. Im not talking the 150 he charges for the street tune. We will just say I had a little over 600 invested on a tune that still was not finished :mad: :( My car was on race gas and never got above 13psi. We needed to change the wastegate spring but spending 3 and a half hours on the dyno making over 15 pulls just to reach 13psi it never made the boost/power goal in mind. Im sorry to say but I watched Norris at AUP RE-TUNE a GSR matt tuned that amde 259whp to after norris's tune made 290whp in 4 pulls at the same boost from a base stock tune.

Let me start off by saying that this is a vendor review thread and your comments are appreciated.
You were running a 5 pound spring trying to push over 13 lbs?? Not only that, you have a S-FAB and ebay kit! Do you have ANY quality parts on your half assed setup? We can already tell you're too cheap to upgrade your wastegate spring.
Jason, you do not have the first car I have witnessed Matt tune with MULTIPLE problems relating to the laziness of Brad. You sold the car for the reason, and I'm sure it wasn't because you got tired of it.
You bitch when you get Brad Sebera to build you a motor and blame it on the tuner. Like I said in the last post, I'm sure 3 of those "claimed" 3 1/2 hours spent on your car were Matt attempting to fix what Brad had already half-assed.
I would not begin to trust another person with my car other than Matt Shue. I hope this single negative post prevents anyone from contacting Matt for a tune.

Jason is upset that it took 3+ hours and cost $600+ to only do 15 pulls.
Dustin claims that all issues are mechanical and the turbo setup and that the setup wouldn't make 500 if he wanted .
Matt claims the waste gate spring was the issue, as to why it could only be tuned to what it was.
Mike claims a spun bearing was due to Jason, 3 weeks after purchase.
I built the engine to spec.
I broke in the engine to MY heat cycle beliefs and to MY spec. Engine was in flawless condition. Perfect compression numbers across. No blow by. Night of street tune, we took it as high as ALMOST 12,000 RPM 3 times and all was holding strong for what it was built to do.
I built and installed the turbo kit to MY specs and to JASONs wishes of 600whp capable and 500whp Goal.
Matt street tuned the car for 5psi and is all he wanted to street tune for.
I suggested more to further work out kinks that will become present with high boost. It was getting late and we were both tired and hungry so, 5psi is all she saw for the street tune.
The next day, I did EVERYTHING i could to make sure the car was "sound" for the dyno. As in, if it BROKE id rather it break here so it could be fixed then 3 hours away on expensive dyno time.
BTW, FULL boost was at vtec engagement. 6,000 rpm on a 84AR turbine turbo. DAMN good for a 9.0:1 B16 if you ask me. Matt said the same. And BTW, this setup was for weekend drag days and Highway shit talk. Built to the exact specs of the customer.
Well Matt had boost cut at 15psi so knowing that, I pulled the Vac. off the waste gate to make sure no issues with the mechanics were an issue.
The setup spooled VERY fast to 15psi, building boost at 2k-3k and at Vtec hitting 15 and boost cut would hit at 6,000-6,500.
No charge pipe issues, no waste gate issues. Everything was a "GO" on my end for as much boost as Matts tune would allow me to test this car at.
I then pulled the transmission and installed Jasons stage5+ clutch kit w/ a friend (thanks spnamnt). Then 2 hours later, Jason picked the car up. Everything was perfect and ready for 500+ whp. Their is NO reason as to why it should'nt make 600whp either.
The 5psi spring has "NOTHING" to do with boost not going over 13psi.
I used a 7psi spring and held 27psi LIKE A ROCK on the same turbo and the same boost controller for 2 years. That MBC was a pain though and to get more boost you almost need to tighten it completely, which jason said Matt did not do, but did move it "alot" just not "all the way". Regardless it should have been swapped out immediately with a trusted controller for the tune session, which matt should keep with him for this purpose. (not knocking matt)
User error of boost controller OR LACK OF a boost controller is the WHOLE issue with this matter.
As for 3+ hours and 15 pulls... Thats an issue of the tuner being un-failure with his surroundings, slowing the session down.
The turbo broke because it sucked trash into it.
ANY MECHANICAL ISSUE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE ADDRESSED BY ME AT THE DYNO IF THE ASSISTANCE WAS NEEDED. IN EXAMPLE: TROUBLESHOOTING BOOST ISSUE, CHANGE WASTE GATE SPRING, BUY MATT SHUE #1 COMBO AT WENDYS,
I WAS SUPPOSED TO BE RIDING WITH MATT BECAUSE I HAD NO RIDE TO NORRIS' SHOP OTHER THAN HIM. INSTEAD OF LETTING ME RIDE WITH HIM HE DIDNT PICK ME UP AND TOOK DUSTIN (DKXXXX) INSTEAD. THEREFORE I WASNT ABLE TO HELP MAKE THINGS GO SMOOTHER.
IF ANYONE IS AT FAULT, BL AIM ME. I SHOULD OWN AND HAVE A DRIVABLE CAR. IF I DID, THIS WOULDN'T BE AN ISSUE BECAUSE I WOULD HAVE BEEN THERE TO MAKE SURE THIS CAR SAW ANY AMOUNT OF BOOST IT NEEDED.

Sorry man i think i might of remember you i'm not sure i had the green turbo gsr. maybe i was harsh on saying aup is a bad shop but i'm just saying from experience going up there everyone was pretty rued. i'm sure if your giving them money to do you a service they will bend over backwards But seems like for matt another tuner they were complete dick to him. Just saying from experience. I guess everyone has there bad days.

Bottom Line:
The motor should of been built by a shop known for building reliable motors i.e Inline pro etc.
It should of had NAME BRAND parts if your going to have a car built for track purpose and running alot of power like 500-600whp. no ebay turbos, no ebay boost controllers if your going to pay 600+ to get the car tuned why not fork out the extra money to a buy a real turbo kit.
JDMS1eeper:
also matt did not take me instead i was going either way i live in nova and was driving my own car. you were not ready to go you knew what time we were leaving and were not prepared. and why should matt keep a boost controller with him lol matt clearly states in his website bring the car prepared Period. the car should of come prepared to make 600whp bottom line.

The wastegate spring ONLY needs to be replaced to a stiffer spring "IF" the manifold pressure exceeds the pressures of the spring clamp force.
Hmm... Topmount long tube manifold... 84AR turbine... Open 3inch down pope. a 5psi spring should be PLENTY fine to 25psi, perhaps more with the "CORRECT" boost controller for the tunning session.
Jason, you do not have the first car I have witnessed Matt tune with MULTIPLE problems relating to the laziness of Brad. You sold the car for the reason, and I'm sure it wasn't because you got tired of it.
Laziness? go fuck your momma
His car was MINT and EVERY car IVE built, was MINT.
The installation is completely up to the purchaser. His work therefore after has NOTHING to do with me.
And he sold it "MY GUESS" is because He paid 4k, SOLD 2K off it, PAID 2.5K for BUILD, BREAKING, CLUTCH INSTALL, AND FABRICATION OF COMPLETE TURBO KIT & INSTALL. THEN SOLD IT QUICK FOR $7K+ TO MAKE MONEY ON THE DEAL JUST AS YOUR FAG FRIENDS AROUND HERE KEPT DOING AND WHY I STOPPED GIVING THEM HAND OUTS AS WELL. YOU AND YOUR FRIENDS ONLY WANTED HAND OUTS TO PUT MONEY IN YOUR OWN DOWN POCKETS WHILE I WAS WORKING FOR FREE AND MAKING SHIT AT COST TO BENEFIT YOU. ASS HOLE

Matt NEVER fixed ANY ISSUES and is a KEYBOARD mechanic, NOT A hands on mechanic. He does small jobs but (as he would admit) would NOT need to go behind ANY of my mechanical ability's, EVER.
MATT SHUE is a GREAT tunner and this BS has NOTHING to do with all this BULL shit talk.
ALL this SHIT talk is from all you S-FAB nut riding, thread bashing homos, simply put.
News flash! S-Fab customer dies of old age! (NO HE DIED FROM S-FAB PRODUCTS, BOOO J D M FOO LIFE!)
BTW, that brown spot on your nose... Well its all over your hands too, maybe its from all that shit you love to stir up. Get a life...

His engine was mint. has nothing to do with taking so damn long on a dyno.
Jason purchased the FAB parts from me. The other parts were purcahsed BY him from his requests.
BTW, I made 367whp @ 10psi on a LOG manifold with that same turbo, wastegate, downpipe, intercooler, chargepipes. And was flawless at 27psi for a LONG LONG time. (until parted and sold)

You made 367whp yea but not ever ebay turbo is the same you cant sell a ebay turbo in a kit and say its gonna last not all of them due trust me i know i've used one.

to set the record strait, nothing was wrong with the motor and nothing was wrong with the setup in all honesty. we just ran out of time running the same boost over and over and over so there was NO time to change the spring nor did matt seem like he want to. Brad was suppose to be there and from what I understand Matt Ditched out on him and honestly that pissed me off to start that day. Honestly the setup/motor was exactly what i wanted and what i was looking for the car was ment to drag race, not road race, not auto x i wanted a big turbo to move alot of air and yes that turbo in fact does that. The fact the turbo fucked up on me on my way home from the dyno was MY fault when it sucked shit into it and through the tolerances off and killed the turbo. I got a new one put it on ran the car and fuckin flew. I was going to go with hondata and have norris retund it when i had a offer on the car that i then sold it. As for Matt. Can you tune? Sure your not that bad just slow prob to play it safe but.... at the same time when other people can tune a car in 30 min alot better why cant you do it in 3 hours? When you tried to make a pull with the dyno brake on no offence after i talked you all up you kind of embarassed me because I know those guys at AUP. They were seriously wanting you off the dyno because they thought you were going to fuck it up. I talked the owner out of it and said ill hold the brake and everything was hunky doory. I honestly think Brad is a GREAT builder, motor ran solid as fuck, turbo worked and no blowing off of the charge piping or anything. The motor HKS is talking about is not the civic but rather a OLD 95 GST I bought with a blown motor. I went to noyan and got what i was told a evo3 motor and hell even had the yellow top 510cc injectors and big 16g turbo so I bought it and took the car/motor to a shop called FCCT. They did the swap and had to do alot of work to get that motor to run correctly. Had to re wire the harness like a 6 bolt swap ect ect. HKS told me it was a 7 bolt motor (stock motor from a eclipse/talon 2gen) Anyways long story short. Him and his friend drown down saw the car i took them around the block hit 12psi in the car and they liked it and bought it knowing the car fowls plugs if u get on it because its un tund and runs REALLLY rich. So on there way home they call me and tell me they got on it and it ran well but then fowld plugs so they stop on the side of the road cleaned them off and drove home. 2-3 weeks later he calls me and tells me the motor spun a bearing. So 2-3 weeks have gone by with them getting on the car and not being tuned it spun a bearing and they wanted me to give them a new motor. Sorry but if it would of happend on the day he bought it or on his way home maybe. but 2-3 weeks and the bill of sale saying car is sold "as is" forget it. I have no idea what or how he drove the car so obvisouly like anyone i said no im not doing it and now he wont let it go and is super still pissed. anyways thats the story on both sides. Again brad is a HELL OF A BUILDER/FABRICATOR and i would ALWAYS let him make anything i could on any car i own.

Everytime you post one of your long ass stories I never read them. To set the record "strait" a friend of mine bought your eclipse. It had never spun a bearing ( i dont know where the fuck you heard that from ). You claimed "it just needed tuned" when it was running like shit.
In actuality, it had a blown headgasket, massive amount of crankwalk, the oil was literally golden from brass, and the turbo was blown. I guess the fact that you sold it as is makes it somebody elses problem.

anyone and everyone that matt tuned knows his the best.....in my book hes the best,or else i wouldnt have drove all the way to richmond for a tune...my bestfriends hatch got tuned a while back with a single cam setup....and dat shit is pretty quick,people that know his hatch hatch knows what im talking about,i wouldnt trust anyone else as far as tuning,cause i love my car and, he made sure my car is in top notch and prepared for tuning,! my car pulls hard as shit and its reliable too.......oh yeah matt...my friend did a compilation of the tuning and the trip down there..ima send u the video when he gets a chance to finish em....!
I seen many recommendation for Matt & this is the only complaint I have seen about matt. But it ain't gonna stop me from asking him to street tune my car soon. :)

we just ran out of time running the same boost over and over and over so there was NO time to change the spring nor did matt seem like he want to. Brad was suppose to be there and from what I understand Matt Ditched out on him and honestly that pissed me off to start that day.
First off are you paying me to pick up Brad? If he wanted to come I told him to come to my house. His house is Not close to my house at all and is in the opposite direction of AUP. I dont remember anybody offering to let us use a different spring. Either way you should have had a larger spring before coming. I told you to get one, but you didnt listen.
As for Matt. Can you tune? Sure your not that bad just slow prob to play it safe but.... at the same time when other people can tune a car in 30 min alot better why cant you do it in 3 hours?
I'm sorry but you cant properly tune a car in 30 minutes. In fact unless that dyno has a load controller you cant properly tune partial throttle without taking the car out on the street. Even though your car did take longer than I would have liked...usually cars take me an hour max on the dyno.
When you tried to make a pull with the dyno brake on no offence after i talked you all up you kind of embarassed me because I know those guys at AUP. They were seriously wanting you off the dyno because they thought you were going to fuck it up. I talked the owner out of it and said ill hold the brake and everything was hunky doory.
Honestly I was embarassed myself. I've been on the dyno plenty of times and have never done that so yes i felt like an ass. If the owner was so concerned though then he should have driven the car on the dyno himself like I told him to after it happened. I didn't want to be on a dyno where the owner wasn't comfortable with me driving a car on it.

The spring was in the glove box as Brad told you and as I showed you in person. As for picking brad up you guys had it all planned out but because of something stupid and you 2 not getting along at the time is the reason you didnt go get him and broke the plans of coming up with him. You said we would try the spring in it as brad has ran the same one on same turbo and hit over 25psi no problem. Brad also told you on the phone to just tighten the controller all the way down but you said that day you didnt want to go over the boost it was on and said we should retune another day. your tune i wont lie was pretty good for the low boost it was on, car ran well at 350whp BUT... Another thing that worried me was you were asking norris and Jarrod for tuning help and advice that dosnt make the customer feel you have any clue what you were doing. even at that it should of not taken the time it did to reach the boost we got to and ended with. I have seen PLENTY of cars with out "base street tunes" be tuned in under a hour and even the ones having problems dont take more then 2 because if it does then its something that cant be fixed quickly and should be brought back another day. No charge pipes blew off, no leaks, No weird noises, setup was solid and ran as it should. I dont know if maybe you were nervous that day or what but in all honesty with being embarassed I wouldnt let you tune any of my cars nor would I tell someone to have it tuned by you. This is my oppion not anyone elses this is my complaint no one elses. I would rather have someone like Norris tune it because he takes less time, does it right, and cars ive seen get tuned by him ALWAYS makes good numbers and always runs solid as hell. When I go AEM I plan on having him tune that as well. Good luck, not tryin to be a dick just voicing my oppion. again this is what I think only not anyone else this is just my comment. Every shop/tuner will always have people who ride there nuts and people who hate there guts. its a fact of business you win some you loose some and you take it for what its worth and try to not make the same mistake again.

I've been street tuned by matt on a busted engine(not good compression readings), in which he did not want to tune , but i wanted to be so that I could at least daily it for work purposes..he did, didn't have any complaints, he states to have all components working properly before tunning, which i did not, he worked w/ me a lil, I could tell that he got a lil adjatated especially when my turd over heated due to bull shyt radiator, anyhow he worked w/ me...as for the boost controller , he was kinda lost on that due to him not knowing the set up procedure for the brand . when i got home I fixxed that .. but ALL in ALL I think Matt is HONEST! and to the POINT ! especially if your shyts busted like mine was..lol..anyhow I will be back for some more tunning matt, hopefully we can make it to the DYNO , your ass is 3.5 hrs from me , and thats one way...BUT WELL WORTH THE DRIVE....:cool:

Honestly i guess i forgot the spring was in there. Either way i told you to have it in before we dynoed. As for Brad we were getting along fine at the time. I was on the phone with him for a while after the dyno telling him how things went. I simply did not want to travel that far to pick him up and he didn't have anything to drive and probably would not have driven all the way to my house without some kind of compensation from you if you really wanted him to be there.
I wasn't asking them for tuning advice, they were telling me what they think i should do particuarly Jarrod. I had to reason with him on why i was doing what i was with the tune. For instance he kept telling me the afr's are too lean blah blah blah at first when obviously there dyno wideband is reading all kinds of screwed up. The in car wideband at that point was reading very conservative at low 11's while there wideband was reading what 14's?? I would hope they would know how to tell if the readings coming out of the dyno wideband are false or not. On top of that we have him suggesting to you to get hondata the entire time I was there. Hondata isn't going to change your power and if you think it does then you are stupid. He kept telling me to raise the timing all the time after looking at my maps even though he doesn't know that crome outputs different timing than hondata. The timing in the maps is not the final outputed number and hondata and crome interpret it differently. You will always find that a car tuned on hondata vs. crome will always need more timing to make the same power.
Plus like i've said a 30 minute tune is not a full tune on a car. I'm not sure if that dyno has a load controller, but if it doesn't then the car needs to be put on the street to get partial throttle how it should be. You cant load the engine properly to tune partial throttle on a non load bearing dyno and if you are using a load bearing dyno and tuning it properly then it will take longer than 30 minutes or even an hour for that matter.

Matt Shue just street tuned my car this past weekend when he wasnt feeling good. We encountered some over heating problems so ive ordered a PWR radiator to hopefully fix that. He did a great job tuning my car so that I could drive it to North Carolina which is where i live. Matt Shue is honest and knows his shit. I checks spark plugs and all kinds of stuff to make sure your motor doesnt blow up. I didnt have a resistor box on my injectors because it totally slipped my mind which is my bad but he agreed to retune my car again this weekend if time is on our side. THANKS MATT! LETS TURN UP THE BOOST!

Matt is the man he tuned my 92 accord with a fully built h22a motor on 13lbs of boost matt got well over 350 hp and 300 ftlbs of torque about a week ago we added a manual boost controller and turned the boost up to 15lbs and Im not going to say what the numbers are but i can tell you one thing on the dyno he has not spent more than 1 1/2 hour ib on the dyno he's punctual and very professional and if your ride is done right he will get you great hp numbers and keep your engine within its parameters and Im pushing some hp right now and its all on pump gas mad props matt I got no complaints

Matt's still fuckin' great. Made 402whp/325wtq on a non-adjusted boost controller, stock block F22A6. Love this car, because of the smaller wastegate it was spiking hard, so after the 44mm is installed, fine tuning is in order.
I've known this guy since elementary school and he's always done me right even with his super busy Engineering schedule with school. Be patient with him and be willing to help him out and you'll have a stellar tune and a good experience.

Matt tuned my fully built ls a couple weeks ago, runs awesome. Not only has my car ran awesome, but it also gets 23-24mpg with me getting on it, and 33-34mpg on the highway or driving normally. I cant wait to see the #'s its going to put down on 14lbs, with new exhaust, injectors, cam gears.
Oh and it was the stupid radiator cap that was causing the bubbles that day, I got it checked out that evening, and put a new cap on it.

Heard nothing but great things about Matt. About 90% of the turbo piping fabrication I do with Hondas go to him for tuning. Each of them never fails to return with big smiles. Keep up the great work man! We've met a while ago in Dinwidie. If you are ever around VB, hit me up. Give me some feedback, since you are the one who had to deal with my work most of the time.... hehehe... Peace!

ha thats nothing ..we were @ RLZ in Carolina , my friend was getting tunned and I noticed parked to the side was "The Front Cover Car" Silver Ek hatch From Honda Tunning w/ the H22 boosted w/ nitrous.(don't remeber the exact issue)In the mag they claimed it was pushing 800 hp..when it got brought to RLZ they said It barley produced 500...and now that they've done some adjustements its now getting around 650 before spray..last time I remember... So not everything in them magz is all true....Almost a down fall for those that base there set ups ...Oh well.:cool:

I didnt mess up any specs they changed my wording aroudn on some things. Only typos I saw were I had put Purple IC piping and purple autopower roll bar and they took out the word purple. Then I put Top Mount Manifold, Full Race intercooler and they took out the comma and added the word "and" which I never said it was a full race top mount.

Matt Shue was a great help in getting my car partially tuned. I couldn't get it fully tuned or even street tuned. Because I came kinda unprepared. But, he actually knows his shit! Other places I have gone haven't asked for a lower timing cover (mine didn't come with one) and a few other items I needed and even got done in that same day. He's well worth the loot and the travel.
But Matt,
I probably won't have the Single cam when I return...haha. Might be something a little bit bigger.

Yea man i think it will be good times. I actually was working on tuning a dodge magnum r/t today on that diablo predator unit, but we were on the phone all day with the guy who has been sending the shop owner the base calibrations. We were trying to figure out why the base file wasn't cooperating with the modified file he sent us and not allowing us to make adjustments to the tune. It still made 370whp running pretty conservatively:D.
Any news on when the dyno is going to be up and running btw? This guy has a few dodges he is trying to run on the dyno asap.

Yup, that trey. Was the opensource stuff he used similar to what you use? Was it too difficult? My current tune could use a few tweaks and I know you've got a very good reputation in the honda world. did you dyno tune it or just on the road?

Yea its pretty similar to the honda rom editors. Same basic concept to altering stock code. We just did a road tune on it quick.

06-18-2008, 01:40 AM
Eh steve you should know about the opensource software I use since we pulled your map with it lol. Um its actually similar but Matt can tune Hondas in real time, when I tune subarus/evos each change that I make we have to pull over, turn off the car, flash it, datalog, and keep going, etc etc. Exactly what is going on with your current map and why do you think it needs tweaking? (Agile did it correct?) Just give me a pm.

06-18-2008, 01:48 AM
I wouldnt call what me and matt did a "Road tune". This was back when I was first starting out and we did some data logging and added around a Degree of Timing top end and leaned out the fuel. It was more of a "Guidance" thing from what I already had done. And it was more of a "lets take a ride on a day we have nothing to do" took about ten minutes. Either case if you want Matt personally to retune your car Ill let him borrow my stuff (And since this thread has nothing to do with my capabilities as a tuner or what I offer) Ill leave it at that, but me personally I can always check out your car.
