got my car tuned at 18psi with hondata..put out 340whp..my traction sucks..so i wanna drop it down to like 14 or 15 psi for the rest of the year because im gonna do some suspension mods in the winter...will it be ok to lower my boost? or will it run bad?

 

if it ran fine at 18psi, it'll run fine with 14-15

 

shouldnt he get it tuned runiing with those psi's, unless u did. idk i am turbo noob

 

it was already tuned for 18 psi

 

shouldnt he get tuned for 14-15 psi? or do they do all the psi's or what ever up to 18 when u tune it?
i am not trina say your wrong or n e thing i am jus trina learn

Please, if you could, start typing w/ correct english... we here get a headache trying to dicpher all that.

In all actuality, when it is tuned most of the time on the dyno, it is tuned for ALL levels up to 18psi.

 

Your traction issue, get an LSD will help you a ton more than just about any suspension mod you can do. If i were u id get an LSD and traction bars....

 

what is he gambling? the air fuel ratios and timing was tuned up to 18psi ...what is there to tune if he keeps it at 14-15psi ??

 

yea thats what i figured...im not gonna go pay with to retune it for 1 month then pay them again to tune it back at 18psi in the spring..ill just keep it the way it is thanks

 

All I gotta say is wow........

The car is tuned for 18psi and all levels in between.

Think about it people, when turbo spools up you go through many different psi levels, then eventually hit max psi (yea, it happens fast) but if your sheit wasn't tuned for them it would blow up.

U CAN SET YOUR BOOST AT WHATEVER U WANT BELOW THE MAX PSI NO PROBLEM

 

damn your right, my brain isnt in drive today

 

Who tuned it?

 

shane at elite tuned it....yea im goin to get lsd...lookin into traction bars but they dont make them for an em1...u gotta change the LCA's or something and im not sure how they would be for the street

 

just get the 92-00 civic traction bars... replace the lca's with ones from a 96-00 ex. its what im doing, i have an em1
