My car wont be hitting the dyno anytime sooner then late april. The block should go to the machine shop next week. Then EVERYTHING has to go back together. I'm looking for a cheap Shell to toss it in so I can take my time on my RHD Swap and Body Work. Anyone know of one?

Man, don't trust any of these guys. The only person to ever successfully tune a Honduh is Mase in Florida. Make the drive, there are no other options, just scammers!!

Don't know. Services will probably be free at the HMT Meet. Just pay for the chip and away we go.

I don't have much tuning experience other then my car (ZC w/14b @12psi soon to be @22.5psi with some kinda of t3 I'm building) and a few close friends. My intentions are to get into it more. I have written many small programs to add myself and NEVER have I blown anything up.

If you've got a good number of miles out of your tunes, and you abort the tune if anything strange goes on that isn't 100% obvious what the problem is, then you're going to be fine tuning someone else's car.

Stock engines with ---- slapped on them is easy. It's the built engines that require all sorts of troubleshooting, and the 400+ whp mark where the hiccoughs and ignition misfidgets start getting annoying. Those aren't hard, either, but it's a range you have to get a feel for because the problems manifest a little differently.

This is the area which I will be tuning my engine.

Ya I never have came across anything in my tunig that I couldn't solve. Whether it was hard starting to hiccups in cruising to WOT pulls dipping to the mid 14afrs all of a suddent.

Having your head pulled out of your ass solves every simple problem you run across, doesn't it?

To bad most everyone else can't see that. OMG it isn't V-tech, OMG I'm not using Iridium plugs, OMG my long block didn't cost $5000+. Pathetic.

Bumble bud,

I think I may have to take you up on that tuning, Ive never met anyone ever with a turbo car nor have I had one myself, Ive got my motor built (d16a6 w/ vitaras eagle, milled head and a quite a bit of headwork).

I wanna run 15 or so psi on turboedit but know NOTHING and cant really get the grasp, I picked up a Twin Tec wideband from ebay with digital display.

I may just take you up on some street tuning, Im gonna pay your not gonna do it for free!

My only problem is Ive never assmebled a motor before, I wont know until I fire it up if it runs right haha

Oh well, ive got another built block awaiting incase it blows

never met anyone with a honda that remotely cared about performance

Do you plan on using a better MAP then? Hope you don't plan on just having a stocker at 15psi.

I am contimplating getting Ostrich to do Real-Time. I got a good EBC to be able to set exact boost levels to tune at. I have my wideband, but it's always nice to compare the accurancy of mine against another.
