Tuner Geeks Blog

Well I finally have time to set down and write an update on whats been going on at the Pure Evil shop.
      In the body shop part of the shop we completed two GT mustangs builds. One belonging to Mike Jones of Malden, Mo., the other belonging to Guastavo of Mississippi. We also started a new project for Clyde in Bernie….. it is a 1956 Ford pickup, that we will be painting baby blue. Right now in the booth is a Lincoln Town Car getting a fender fixed that will be done this week.

On the mechanical side of the shop…. wow have we been swamped….
       On the lift right now we have Matt’s 2004 srt4 from Cape Girardeau, MO, we are installing new fuel system complete up to injectors, new boost controller, mounts, refurbishing the GT3076 turbo upgrade, along with the installation of a new ACT Clutch. This car should be around the 400 horse mark on pump gas when i finish the tune on it. 
     Second we have Kevin’s 1998 Dodge Neon RT that we are in the middle of the engine build up…. Reeve’s Racing of Dexter, completed the ferrea valve install on the head for us and gave it a look over…. meanwhile eagle rods and wiseco pistons all installed in house completed the block build up with arp studs mounting everything together. This owner is looking to get at least 350 to the wheels on this setup with the hahn turbo kit that was installed late last year…..
     Also on the agenda 3000gt twin turbo vr4 from Cape also, this car come in with several problems that were located and fixed here in the shop… Once we got the issues solved the timing belt adjuster broke yet again on this car. This being the second time in two years with only 10000 miles put on this engine….. So we will R and R the engine to make sure it didnt bend any valves and get everything going on this car hopefully in the next few weeks.

 Now on to the fun stuff of the shop…. the race season and happenings….

    Congrats to BJ for winning the first King of the Street Competition at Benton, ILL this past weekend. Drove his subie to victory despite the bent second gear shift fork.
    Tony in his 179000 mile stock motor turbo honda with complete interior and on drag radials ran his car to his best 8.67 this past friday and this was only on 13 psi…. We have the next step for this car in the shop and once installed this car should easily be in the 8.20 range…. Not bad for a 3100 pound car that dynoed 249 horse and 279 tor..
    I would like to also give a congrats to Cook from Cape who ran his b20 swapped turboed civic to a 7.97 @ 86 mph. It only dynoed 230 horse… That is amazing he is getting the car in the sevens…. Awesome job and very glad to be doing business with him.

 As far as the shop car goes… the parts have all been ordered and am awaiting arrival. And for those wanting to know all here you go…. this is what is going in the SRT this month.
AEM EMS
Garret GT4082 Turbocharger
1mm Oversized Brian Crower Valves
Head ported and polished with 3 angle valve job
Ported intake with 100 shot direct port nitrous to help spool turbo
Rev Limiter raised to 7500 rpm
ACT XD Clutch Rated at 750 FTLbs
Prothane Suspension Bushing set
DCR Oil modifier
DCR Crank Scraper
26″ Tall Slicks this year instead of my old 24″
Race wheels front and year
This setup should get me in the 10’s in the 1/4 mile and 7.0s in the 1/8th at well over 100 mile an hour trap speeds. I am gunning for 600 horse on race gas and high 400s on pump. All still in a street legal daily driven car. Keep your eye out for it on Pinks All Out in Stl. on June 28th.

For any new customer that comes to Pure Evil and purchases and turbocharger, supercharger, or an engine swap from Pure Evil and is installed by Pure Evil. Will recieve a free tune with all hardware needed to initiate the tune.

For example, If you own a obd2 honda/acura and a customer purchases a turbocharger and installed here…. I will personally pay for the ecu, conversion harness, and the tune out of my pocket. If you already own a obd1 i will cover the tune and cut the price to match the cost of the obd2 conversion needed…. It is a 400.00 dollar savings.

Contact me for details and pricing of the next upgrade to your honda/acura.

Well after 46 days the custom complete paint job in and out is finally complete. I want to thank the customer, Kevin, for bringing the project into my shop and allowing me to paint the chevelle. We look forward in doing business in the future with the Chevy Truck.

 This job started out with a time line i didnt think we were capable of making… But with hard work and dedication it happened…Thanks again Kevin. I also want to thank the hard work of Tony and Van.

I am writing this to give thanks to all the all the customers of Pure Evil. I am proud to have served you and can not wait to do busines with you again. I really look forward to all the new projects coming to the shop. With yet another srt build up, and the dodge neon rt engine build, along with upcoming paint jobs entering in the next few weeks…

Starting April 1st I will be giving 10% discount to all returning customers, and an additional 5% if they refer a customer to the shop in the month of April. Also, as an added bonus, any customer displaying a Pure Evil or Tunergeek sticker on their car will get an additional 5%.

Thank you for you time

Well the track finally opened up this year and the first day at the track was pretty fun and eventful…..

Tony’s Accord ran his best 8.84. Bj’s Subie despite a bent shift fork and short shifter malfunction still ran 8.1 on his first time out on his new tranny setup on 93 pump tune…. lots more to come from this car.

Several cgsra members showed up to the event CRV ran his best 8.0 in his b20 swapped civic. Congrats to him.
