Re: JDM JRSC DC2R engine rebuild
beat and I live here, he knows all about the tuning market based on his own personal experiences and he's had to go beyond the local market to seek information. Nobody even knew about the LHT aftercooler here. They weren't even aware of Hondata till a few years ago as they always felt and some STILL feel a static ECU *read N1* from Mugen or Spoon is the 'best' for their Honda.
i would be really temped to either put another used itr motor in there since i would assume they are somewhat inexpensive. they go for $2500-2800usd here, would think HK would be less
or, copy someones build state site exactly who has a tried and trued car, have him burn his chip and mail it to you

It's too bad there isn't a way to have a tune done by John. I'm about 40 minutes from LHT Performance and I am planning on going to Hong Kong May 1st of this year.

or the op could exact copy someone elses combo and run their chip. if it's a closed loop program it should work pretty well even with the difference in temp and humidity

No doubt about the source, I just googled and they had the best picture available.
I'm a little annoyed at the price difference between the Prelude and ITR ones just because of that tiny shim at the bottom of the beehive!

Everythings starting to fall into place. Got the cyl head and block back from the machine shop earlier this week. The long block is pretty much done.
Now missing a supercharger belt, valve cover and clutch and its a done deal!

Not for another month at least. I think the car will be done in a week.
But Ill be out of town for a couple weeks this month.
Ill do some running in when I get back in town.
So I guess in a month or so, itll be dynoed..

Thanks!
I hope it goes well this time also. I did some research on parts and I should have all the hardware to make it right this time.
Just hope the tuner is good. Knowledgable tuners are not easy to find here in HK.
Ive found a tuner that is very familiar with Hondata and honda cars. But he said he's only dont a couple supercharged ones before.
Not like I have a choice though.
I'll keep you guys posted!
