Uni-chip

And if I tune with hondata is it worth going heavier valve springs.... And also what do I do with this vtc valve gear?

Lol

Input welcome!!!

Your tuner isn't very bright by the sounds of it... What tuner doesn't check out fully a car first before starts working on it?

Lol I'm trying to build my s2k but for every day driver I want more power. This is the reason for my questions. Thanks to all the boys helpin me out. Champions!

All input welcome.

You want 160kW out of the K24A you mean?

For daily you're focusing far too much on peak performance... If you want to get a hustle on in the daily grind ie Mojo <5000rpm, like Fredoops said, Mid-Range is what you're focusing on. You want better mid range? Work with a Tuner that isn't an idiot for one and that understands how to get even more torque. My personal tuner was able to add a whole ton of 'balls' to my 1.6L while peak power did increase a little.

Stop for a moment and plan out what you're really after first then start talking mods man.

You've already been stung hard...

OK well I spoke to the tuner. I'm Getting my money back.
I'm just talkin s*** lol not looking for only peak power. ...
I want drivability and torque. Just want a good all rounder.
Has cold air intake. I H E.

Been doing some research and I'm looking at RBC intake and throttle body. Them have the car tuned with a Hondata. I'll do a bit more research and see.

All input welcome.

@OP: Flashpro, kpro or reflash?

Btw, Fredoops, have you decided on getting a choone? I just remembered some of your posts on older threads about Hondata tuning. What route would you take if you had to get a choone right now?

Hacking.

fredoops ganna tune himself

if you do enough reading its more then possible to the average car savvy bloke i reckon.

if you have the patients to learn

axispower: i dont know what hondata yet. what do people recommend?

tomorrow im having the uni chip removed. was a major disappointment. everyone talking about lowering their vtec and cars drastically improving in the torque range... mine did not at all.

so the car currently has:

Header: toda
Cat: Unknown
Exhaust: Tanabe medallion duel
Intake: k&n intake... (its short and sits behind the battery)

Parts to come soon
rbc intake manifold
J35 throttle body

also does anyone thing i should put heavier valve springs before i tune??

is it worth putting a set of BC cams??? lol

and what hondata?

Cat: get a jack and find what cat you are running.
Intake: get a cold air intake, not short ram.

Valve spring: No
Bc cams: No.

Hondata: Flashpro with acura tsx ecu, allow $2 grand including tuning and immo reset.

Why not do cams and valve springs with a tune?
