Re: $$Tuning$$
i didnt want to post this to get into an all motor vs. turbo kind of thread(obviously this is HMT). i just wanted to know if the tuning rates were competiitive to those that you all have paid/charged. this car is going to be used more for road course/ autox in mind so im not trying to build a big power drag setup. i just want to get the most out of the car so it can be in competitive classing. i posted this and still frequent this site for all motor stuff as well just because it usually has better info in general about cars and tuning than the others.

Fuckstick, do you know who I am, and have you at any point paid the single lick of attention to what I espouse? I am not a Full-Rice nutswinging peak-volumetric efficiency ******. The CRX we took to Pinks and finished third with makes 411 peak with an average power of over 400 for the usable powerband of 6500-9500 rpms. None of that ****** 700 whp peak 125 whp average for the last 3000 rpms of the operating range Honda-Tech ----... you know, the sort of Honda-Tech ---- that has you all JDM hopped up on a 10 whp power gain from tuning, on a setup running a $900-1200 header.
This is Homemade---------Turbo, since you aren't paying attention.

the general consensus in the thread seemed to be that he shouldn't tune it because it wasn't turbo, my original point was to say thats bullshit. i simply pointed out a few things i believe to be wrong, i dont need to know your life story.

Re: $$Tuning$$
Well I spent a good four hours last night tuning a hatch with a jdm h22a swap in it. The owner was running it on a gay *** ebay chip when I saw it I laughed my as off it was an old uv erase chip with a piece of masking tape with skunk2 wrote on it with a ballpoint pen :1
The thing had a redline of like 9k and I'm just glad the guy didn't hurt the motor with it.
I took that car from barily even being able to get a chirp in second to roasting the tires on shifts and holding you back in your seat. The car was actually fast and IMO would give alot of d series turbo cars a good run for their money
I was very satisfied with how it turned out.
All I charged was he gave me a six puck clutch and a PP for my accord.
It's definatly worth it getting a car tuned. Is it worth spending five hours on a dyno at 100 bucks an hour no. Because unless your an idiot you can get a stock NA car close enough on the street. To the average car owner all it is it how responsive the car feels and gas milage anyway.
If he's charging 200 bucks and your car runs better then it's worth it.
