Best place in Portland area for NA tune - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Mortsgreb · 09-27-2021, 01:49 PM

I have taken a look through the sticky post about tuning shops in the northwest area, and it seems that basically all of the shops in the Portland area either have somewhat negative review, or no reviews at all. (Based purely on the sticky post).

Can anyone recommend a shop that has a lot of experience tuning the 86/brz platform in the Portland area?

Currently my car has a TRD intake (paired with a HKS intake duct), HKS EL headers, and the TRD quad tip exhaust from the rs1.

To be honest, you're better off with an OTS or Off-The-Shelf tune for NA.
I ran the OpenFlash Tablet for 5+ years with no issues on NA

If you ever choose to do some kind of Forced Induction, I would highly recommend Zach from CSG to tune the car:

I am running an Edelbrock SC and it runs like a dream

I think PRE is the only local place that tunes ECUtek in portland any more.

They're perpetually slammed so prob takes a couple months til you can get in for a tune.

Since I went with the EcuTek tune for my NA, I also went to a shop that had a dyno and those who are familar with the platform. Drift Office in Auburn, WA are fantastic! Worth the drive I think.. personally I wasn't happy with PRE, but they seem to be the 'go to' for folks around here.

The EcuTek offers more flexibilty for tuning, so if you want to do anything to the car in the future you're good to go.

Since Vit isn't local anymore, Drift Office is probably the only other go-to tuner in the NW. As mentioned, you can also go to PRE.
