RSX-S Tune..

The last Stage of Nhia's car build was to tune his car on Hondata K-Pro. Nhia was very happy with the outcome with nearly 230whp. He also told us that he would be back soon for a clutch upgrade.

Photobucket

Huge midrange power was big in this setup. Very respectable numbers for a car with 134K miles.

The Never Ending Work at TDC...

Photobucket

Mark is here with his SCCA CRX getting ready for a tune on Crome Gold. He is very limited to the type of modifications on his car (Intake, Header, Exhaust) so he is up for trying anything for and extra few horsepower.

Photobucket

Work also continues on Nhia's RSX-S. The plan is to have him on the roller today and should have results for you guys tomorrow.

We are slammed!!

This is Matt's 2009 Civic SI. It was in this past Saturday before the dyno night for a dyno tune. It's a stock K20z3, with a Skunk 2 Header, Buddy Club Cat-back, and an Injen Cold air intake. It was in for a tune on Hondata FlashPro.

Photobucket

Photobucket

He was very happy with the power gains, and the mid range power makes the car really fun to drive on the street!

We also have Chris' Super Clean Civic EX in for a transmission rebuild and a retune. The tranny is out, and torn down. Be looking for this one to hit the rollers this week. Also on the lift is Brad's EF hatch for a fuel pump install.

Photobucket

And lastly, we have Marc's Prelude on the rollers this morning for an AFC tune.

Photobucket

Tuning on Tuesdays.....

We tuned 2 cars last night. First up was Disney's 99 SI. His built B16 was tuned on Hondata S300, and featured Precision 680cc injectors, a DRAG Manifold, and a Garrett T3T4 turbo.

Next on the rollers was this Clean EK Hatch. The owner was shooting for around 250whp, and a fast sppoling setup. He chose to use a Greddy 16g Turbocharger. The result was an extremely fun car to drive.

Dyno Night Prep with Tuning Mania..

We ended up staying past Midnight night getting cars out. 2 Cars were tuned completely with 2 more cars getting tuned tonight and 2 more tomorrow before Dyno Night.


Heath had his Nitrous Express kit installed by us a little while back and was ready to dial in and put some numbers down with it.

His Civic made the usual respectable K-Series numbers off the nitrous. The number gained from the Nitrous had Heath very happy with his sleeper Sedan SI.


Second was Jamie's H22 EF hatch tune on Crome Gold.

Looking to get the most out of his setup , Jamie's Civic put up some pretty good numbers. A real nice header was holding this setup up back. But you can see the massive power gain between 5000rpm and 6000rpm.


Photobucket

Nhia has brought us his RSX-S for quiet a few upgrades and also a tune.
RDX 410cc fuel injectors ,IPS K2 Iron Core cams with Supertech dual valvespring, steel retainers, seats, and seals ,Skunk 2 R Muffler with Kteller piping are the parts going on. He also has a Kiddracing Krusher header, RBC intake manifold and a Injen Intake. Once were done with the install it is going on the Dyno for a tune on K-Pro. Numbers will be posted when completed.

Haltech Tuning... G35..

With our dyno back running we finished up some of the tuning we had waiting on us. This set up was from Robbie who had his G35 in with just basic bolt-ons (test pipes, Intake manifold spacer, K&N Filter).
Photobucket

Here is the chart from the tune. Red is the new numbers Blue is the old. Massive Torque gains from 2RPM to 5 RPM. Though the peak horse power did not have much of a peak gain , look at how much more power is made through out the pull.

Here is the video..
