other than that ... find a good tuner and sit down and have a good chat with him - lol which i cant help you with because im from WA haha

i can suggest sending a pm to Toda maybe and see if they can give you some advice

yeh, water temp was at 79 degrees and intake temp was 35 degrees to wat i can remember.

lol, yeh thats wat im trying to find out is a good tuner, i was looking under the car the other day nd noticed the headers have been hit on smething, im guessing a speed bump o smething nd its restricting the flow as it has been pushed in abit. abd i also hve a silencer in the exhaust system. bt if that is the case il hve 2 gt it fixed soon enough bt i still wana gt a retune.

thanks for ur advice, ur the 1st person to give positive advice, every1 else has been negative.

thanks man, hope you get it sorted out

im happy to help, but remember you have to help youself as well, we may have been a little negative but i hope you have learnt a bit along the way as well =)

let us know how u go with it

and remember - when u do get it sorted out, get a dyno sheet and than goto a 1/4 race track and get an official time as well - that way you have a benchmark to work with - and you can legally talk about it on here as well

go do a dyno run and see how much it really makes, then go from there. cause by the sound of it, it doesnt seem to have anywhere close to 150fwkw.

yeh im planing to get it dyno'd soon. cnt spend to much money this year, im goin on vacation lol. were abts in brissie u from??

**tekung89** · 08-09-2009 09:11 PM

they say every dyno gives out different readings, but i dunt think the gap can be 20-30kw's.

get it dyno'd if it doesnt make atleast 140kw or even 130kw , go back to them and complain man. im not accusing but i seriously think something dodgey is going on since the comparison wit u and the dc2 was near even which is simply impossible if it claims to have such figures of 151kw. and that 'remove the silencer' story cant possibly give u 20kw lol.

best of luck with it man, and dnt worry about finding another tuner etc, go back to 999 and ask them to get it done right and sort it out.

**civic_vi** · 08-09-2009 09:51 PM

nice mods list

did the guy say it was 151kw at the flywheel or atw?

**hAmZ** · 09-09-2009 12:09 AM

from southside. yeah man, better yet go to 999 and get a power run there if they got a dyno. lol that'll be funny when the power output shows up.

CNJ motorsports have good reputation for tunning. They are at slacks creek.
Have had them tune a cb accord with jdm h22a with good results

yeh, couple of pipol have said that to me abt the dodgy business. just bein its a company nd wuld make me think that they wuldnt wana do nethign dodgy coz dats just gna b bad rep for them. and also the fact that they have on there website "151kws" with a package there selling. and im sure they culd b put up for fraud o smething if it wasnt correct lol,

thanks man, just hve herd frm alot of honda bois around brissie that they arent to great at tuning, (no offence to ne1)
