Default just got my hatch tuned at RLZ earlier today......THANKS HOWARD!!!!!!

Well after waiting a couple weeks for a part or two to arrive at my house I got my car tuned and Im rather pleased and surprised with it. Howard down at RLZ did an awesome job with it and tuned it conservatively just like I wanted. I couldn't ask for anything more after what it made on there dyno which is proven to read lower than others Im more than happy. Now Im probably gonna need a clutch though . Here is a rundown of the mods and the dyno plot

Bone stock JDM B18C
Blox Intake Manifold
Drag Manifold
T3/T4 not sure on the specs
Turbosmart 35mm wastegate
Big Precision injectors Howard thinks they are 750cc's which were shipped to me out of carelessnes. I ordered 550cc's
2.5" downpipe and mandrel exhaust
Exedy Organic clutch that isnt gonna last Im sure

It was tuned with Chrome by a kickass tuner. Yeah you cant beat an 8psi conservative tune that made 279whp on a dyno that reads 20-30 hp lower than most I was more than surprised it did that and I think a few others were as well. Thanks man

These injectors are fine man thanks anyways. Im gonna keep them for future use since they are only at like 43% duty cycle on this current tune

Very nice to hear. If I ever undertake this project, they are who I will be going to to have my work done, esp Tuning.

Yeah I think ole Howard was slightly impressed with the numbers that my setup made. I know his dad was surprised Another cool thing that I have been realizing is that I think I got lucky with this swap in my car and got a LSD tranny although all signs point to not having one. Weird thing is both tires always spin and I mean always; never once has just one spun.

Howard is a great tuner.....I live only minutes away from RLZ/Speed innovations. He tuned my EF hatch. Great choice of tuner and also great numbers from a stock motor.

I honestly dont have a clue. Maybe the clutch was slipping a little or something? Howard would know more about that than I since I dont know much at all about the tuning aspects of my car.

Do you mean what happened to my SE-R? If so I sold it to someone who I was stationed with.

Nope boost held pretty good between 7-8psi on every run. I was worried about boost spike myself since Im running a Drag manifold but I have a good wastegate and I ran the wastegate vacuum line from the compressor side of the turbo instead of from the intake manifold somewhere. I was told that on Dynapacks that the torque curce tends to look like mine or something?
