Rebuild h22a

Actually rebuilding the whole motor WILL save gas if you build to stock specs. It's all about new seals. The old motor I bet has some blow by and I bet some fuel leaks elsewhere too. But the loss of pressure does affect the fuel economy of the car. I noticed even on my performance builds with out the turbo I was using less gas than before the build. If you build high performance like I did you won’t save a lot in the end but sticking with stock parts will save you money.

The time it takes to rebuild and price is all in what you do, where you go, and what is in stock. Average rebuild with new valve train and new pistons and rods, along with all new seals, rings, and gaskets is about $5,500USD/$7,100AUD. It takes us about 4 weeks as we don't stock everything and we do send some stuff out for coatings. No coatings and if we have it in stock, like for GSR/ITR/CTR builds it takes 2.5 weeks in and tuned.

where would be the best to get it dyno tune around liverpool and sdyney area

how can they make a car save more fuel by using a dyno tunes wats the go with that anyone no,

Dyno tuning will allow you to set all the features of the motor with respect to hp/tq, timing, cam settings, and anything else that is adjustable. If you have a perfectly tuned motor you should have good hp/tq and have good idle and fuel usage. Just doing it on street or in shop can actually help the fuel economy and idle but may result in a lack of hp/tq.

if i were u i wouldnt go past dyno dave in syd, redline motorsports, hit em up. go and talk to them. ull get more info than u will here

*not taking anything away from slow96gsr* he knows his shit, but the sounds of it u need a full crash course on modifying/rebuilds/tuning, it will take alot of reading on the net

Ya, I hate typing! Go to a local shop and see what you can get. Then if you have questions they can answer them. If they can't, contact the manufacture or look at their web site and see what they have on it for info. Most people forget about the manufacture and don't realize all the info you need can be given by the them. Forums should be your last place to get info.

man ur crazy, seen does pictures, u sure no alot of shit.

But if the guy is just looking to reduce fuel costs I'd be taking it to a workshop with a dyno so they can put it on and check out your AFR's. They may be way rich because of a problem somewhere.

comes in handy when your builder also has his own machine shop!:p

yeah good idea putting it on a dyno and a bit of tuning looked at. could even be your O2 sensor?? that could be whats making it run rich??

check that first!

would anyone no any honda tuning place where i can go to, to dyno my car??anywhere near liverpool, max 30kms away.

yes is blacktown... i seriously think you should have your O2 sensor checked first.

instead of spending $$ on a dyno tune, which can be costly.

send me a PM or find me at preludeaustralia.com

can i just go to any place to get my os sensor check or there is a special place where i need to go.?
