do you guys get many D16A9's in the states? does anyone have any tuning advice specific to this engine code? i.e. tried and tested stuff.... I have done most the basics

On a stock Honda, their really isnt that much you can "tune" with other than timing adjustments, you can advance it a few degrees if you like, it wont hurt it all, especially with the octane you are running over their. Maybe if you had some Cam gears and a adjustable fuel pressure regulator you could do some of that. But that stuff is very minimal and hard for the *** dyno to even tell if adjustments are doing good or bad. Best way is always on a dyno, but sometimes that can be a bit expensive.

Btw, I bet we hardly have any d16a9's over here at all, I have never seen one in the states, and I have worked with tons of motors. Just because they are EDM motor, and I dont see why we would get one. The ZC is basically the same exact thing (JDM)

cheers, u dont know any tweeks for the ZC then?
ive seen on ebay a "resistor" for sale which says it'll do the same as chipping my car, not sure if its entirely believable thou i can see what their getting at thou. where theres a gain theres almost always a loss. I tried this on my Civic and if anything it made it slower but louder..... Mmmmm but then being a 1.4 its sluggish anyway. does the CRX have an air intake sensor? if so i cant find it, unless this is the TPS sensor?
we have 95 and 98 ron fuel over here so do u know how much it is safe to advance by? i have a timing light but will prob do it by trial and error...
