b16a tuning?

alphabeastco, the the truth is, u wanna go fast, get a clutch and flywheel before the ECU.

VAFC is OK, gains will be higher on the full ECU,

but if cost is a factor, VAFC can provide mild gains ;)

but as pornstar mentioned other areas could provide more 'noticable' gains too...

go for a final drive change.

so how much would a clutch and flywheel cost me?
i've got a exedy heavy duty clutch already...
dunno if just the flywheel will do..

Depending on brand a new flywheel could cost anywhere from $400 - $800 or you could machine your stock fly wheel which could cost 200$ or so for machine costs.

Labor to remove your gearbox would be around 4 – 5 hours labor typical most ppl charge around 70-95$ a hour.
Then add on the cost of new fluid for your gear box, (its out so why not replace it $60) and I also would replace the flywheel bolts (I hate reusing any bolt, but that’s my personal thought…bolts are so cheap so why not.) these are 21$ each from Honda and I believe there are 8 holding the flywheel onto the crank. As for your excedy clutch you already have that’s perfect no need to touch or change that unless your not happy with how the peddle feels or how its working.

21 bucks each holy smack me dead.. its almost 200 bucks for 8 blardy bolts..^_^ well anyway i say cluch flywheel is good to get noticable gains on your car.

well it looks like..it'e either clutch+flywheel...or it's ECU..

final drive + flywheel.. would be my words of advice

and as mentioned earlier, gains are to be had with an ecu, it really doesnt matter if its power fc, pro ecu, hondata, etc... but it would do you the world of good to do some research and speak to people in the know as to what your goals are with your car and the type of ecu which will help you achieve your goals, it will work out cheaper in the end

doesnt machining ur existing flywheel weaken the structural integrity of it? or the balance?
