Stop being cheap. Either learn how to tune your own motor properly, or fork over the money to do it right.

D112 is right, you're cheap. If you want cheap, get a basemap and have fun!...for a day or two.

Put your motor in your car and break it in. whats so hard about that.?? why would you have someone else break in your motor.?? do you not know how to put a motor in and start it up. drive it around a lil. go get it tuned.

you need a basemap, if you just start meesing with the map to just get it started you might lean it out and fry something or you might wash down the cylinders with gas. Then you whole build has gone down to crumbles.

there just gonna put a basemap then start it up and then tune it! should be around a grand if your using Hondata.

why would you want to waste a expensive motor just for not doing it right!

It may suck for now that you have to spend the money to have a shop properly break in and tune your setup, but in the long run, you'll be glad you didnt cut corners. If there is one thing i've learned from building turbo setups, it is that when you cut corners to cut cost, you end up spending more in the long run. Do it right the first time and forget about it

The first few minutes of running is critical for a built motor....

Unless you can revert most of your fuel/ignition/cam setup back to stock and have all stock O2 sensors working, then you can slap your stock ECU back in just for break-in. If not, it needs a base tune just to get the car running properly during break-in.

King is awesome and they really know what theyre doing when it comes to tuning. I had my car tuned there and its been running solid for 2 years now. I know its an expensive cost, but better to pay it up front and have an excellent running motor for years then not pay and break something probably very soon down the road. Just let them take care of it, I promise you wont regret it.

This.

So many people think that even running a basemap is safe. It doesn't matter if the car that basemap came from has identical parts, your motor will want something different.

Though the damage done can be somewhat corrected, just takes more time.
