Yeap, So as most of you know i'm in NC. I head over to HIS Motorsports in Hickory and got my car dyno tuned finally. Since the guy back home in MA wouldn't do it due to the knocking noise, this guy would. So I bite the bullet and get him to do it.

I got charged 300$ Which is not so bad. He was a pro with tuning EVO's not really honda's which kinda makes me shake my head, but we got it better then what it was i suppose.

The shop: Very new, the specialize in turbo applications. Mostly Evos and awd cars. Clean shop, dyno meter dyno very well set up.

I knew the car was acting up and slow as **** from the mtn run in atlanta, so I had to do something about this.


Before he started tuning he made a first pull, apprently i was only having 5psi of boost.

Check out the curve, it's like perfect.
End Result below:
Max Power: 150.79 /// Max Torque:153.22







Then the guy got to work tuning it. I wish the guy specialized in honda's though but eff it. since we figured the 5PSI issue, he tuned with that, and we got 166 with vtec tuned.

Then we moved the acuator correct to 8psi where it should have been. and did a few things diff.

and ended up with this:
Max Power: 170.83 Max Torque: 175.50





So I made alot more power, but I think because he turned the acuator, im pretty sure he didn't do alot of tuning, because after we had that run, he said that's pretty much where it's gonna be. He was out of ideas. and i said **** it and left. at least it didn't blow up on the dyno like I thought.

Car drives and pulls hard. I'm impressed with that. I wish i was somewhere near 190-200whp though..... He said if i got meth injection he would only charge for the dyno time and tune it for free.


What do you guys think?

D17 with T25 Turbo

What are you using to tune it? Sorry if I missed it in the OP. I wouldn't think you would need meth injection yet, unless your IATs/EGTs are strangely high.

What are you running for an intercooler? What injectors and what tuning method? Afterall it is only a little T25, but I don't think 200whp is out of reach.

Is this a stock engine? Rod bolts done atleast?

To reach your power goals you'll probably need something a little north of 10psi from the T25, and maybe try to find a few horses elsewhere (improving the flow of the IM, head from porting/cam, piping, exhaust etc).

Whoops Sorry, Im using Kpro. TSI intercooler type S rsx injectors stock engine with ARP headstuds

EM2abe

No upgraded camshaft?

jdmdv

nice numbers for stock bro, wish I still kept my turbo kit, but im hoping to get mines tuned on nitrous when i get kpro

Curiouz_G

type s injectors start maxing out close to 190-200whp. Try throwing in a stage I cam.

I keep checking back on his thread because your car is so similar to my sisters (and she keeps bugging me for a turbo haha).

I too would probably throw a better cam in it and retune. That should get you somewhere in the 180-190 range and probably fatten up the torque curve a little more in the upper rpm (making the curves look even better).

It depends on what your goals are and how you want it to drive. I don't think the peak number tells the story with this car. The torque curve is fat for a 7g. Go find some RSXs to tease. It must be a blast to drive compared to NA. :D

Georgey! How are ya man?

Nice torque numbers. That's pretty decent.

Whats Up DOHC

Is the bottom the AF graph? Seems like the thing is getting flooded on the top end, but I don't know what the #s are
