Default Street tuning.

I have s300...should i do a datalog session to record data before adjusting fuel and ignition? does that make sense?

Like what process, if trying to learn to tune...ive gone through s300 and set all protection modes necessary and such, but havent touched fuel or ignition yet.

have aem uego, b18c1 turbod, rc310cc injectors...obviously not tuning much, in the market for 750-1000cc injectors and a walbro. just tuning to 5-7psi

thanks

Datalogging is just a tool. You could tune a car without datalogging if you needed to...

I would highly suggest you consider taking the car to a professional hondata tuner if you can't afford damaging the motor due to lack of experience.

even the best street tuners in the world are off from mbt. i'd say top 5% of street tuners know what they're doing. that's why god invented dyno's

When you get the car tuned:

Stop for a second, pay attention to what is being done (put the video camera/cell phone down), ask questions, pay attention, be ivolved without being in the way of the process. You would be surprised as to how many tuners have no problem passing along information. The more the car owner knows, the easier it is for the tuner.
