Okay guys it's been a while since I posted updates I awhile. I finally got it Repainted and tuned!! I tuned it myself. First time tuner. Here are the results. At 14psi I made 306hp and 260tq!! The a/f was 10.8 to 11.1 still needs some fine tuning. Revving to 7200rpm! Let me know what you think! The dyno picture is from the previous run. I added more timing and got a little more power ill put up more pictures later. I'm going to try and hit 400 in the near future as well. Just wanted to get my feet wet with the tuning and everything.

 

The dyno graph

 

10.8-11.1 ? Geez lean that thing out would ya. should be at least high 11's Lots of power left if you lean it out 11.0 to 12.0 big difference

 

Haha yeah I know it's a little fat. But it was my first time tuning so I wanted to be a little on the concervitive side. When I tune it again for 400 ill be aiming for 11.5 or so. Thanks for the advice!

 

love seeing integras with "there engines" doing work!!
keep it up bro

 

Here are some pictures I took a few weeks back after I repainted it! I have some videos from my phone of the dyno and a few pulls on the street I will post later.

 

Car looks clean but I agree... lean it out!

You'll get better gas mileage all the way around not to mention make more hp and torque. I suggest getting to or as close as possible to 12:1... you'll notice a huge difference. Some even run 12.5:1 if they have a rock solid tune and motor

 

Yeah I rather be safe then sorry though. This was my first time tuning so I was happy with the power I made. I can always turn up the boost to make more power. I would like to lean it out a bit more so I can make more power. But ill do this when I retune for more power! Thanks for the input

 

Yea I wouldn't go retune the car just to make it leaner at the same boost level... it's a waste really, especially if the car runs fine like its tuned now

Smart move waiting to do it once, that way when you go to the dyno not only will you be tuning for more power but you'll know to tune it on the leaner side around 12:1 so really you're killing two birds with one stone and you're saving money by not wasting it on retuning just to make the current tune leaner if you're just going to turn around and up the boost and do a full retune anyway

But I must say you've picked a perfect combo for the exterior of the car. The carbon fiber trunk really contrasts the paint job and for some reason white wheels always look good on a red car, even though people say white on red is played out. If it were me I would get a carbon hood and potentially a carbon roof skin that just goes on with 3m adhesive. That would complete the carbon fiber look from the front to back and really set the color of the car off

 

I tuned it myself and my friend has a dyno so I don't have to pay anything. So retuning it is no big deal. Thanks to on the looks of the car! I'm looking for a carbon hood as we speak just don't really want to fork out the money for a new one right now. I have a carbon roof on there right now. Thanks for the props man I really appreciate it!

 

Hey guys I decided I am going to parts ways with my integra, my family is moving to florida and I do not want to take it there. here is the craigslist ad.

Florida is the best place for it. No emissions and you're basically at sea level so more powa lol

 

Yes! It is lovely! Bring it with you and we can hang out! Florida has very loose car laws. I see turbo diesels with stacks all the time doing 4 wheel burn outs and pouring smoke all over the road. I've seen a couple get pulling over, but that's besides the point. You can get by with just about anything down here. And the sea level thing is nice. But it gets hot. Very very hot.

 

HAHA, yeah man I dont have emissions either here in PA. In my county at least. I don't know if I can sell it I will if not I guess I will have to bring it down!!

 

Yeah! Tuned it with crome or crome pro? What did you do as far as timing?

 

I tuned it with just Crome. Timing on the distributor I set at 16 degrees then I adjusted timing accordingly with EGT's and plug conditions. Every pull I pulled all 4 plugs looked for color timing marks etc.

 

What EGT did you use? I have been looking at them here and there and want one for my tuning. Could you post/send me your map? I want to take a look at it. See what you did, check your total timing. I'm just getting my feet into tuning so I'm just exploring other people's work. Did you dyno or street tune? You didn't use any sort of knock sensor?

 

I used a infrared gun for my egt's. I have my tune on my other computer at home which I will be around this this weekend. No, I disabled the knock sensor.

 

Unless you're going to log EGTs with your EMS then you really can't keep track of them after each pull..

also, egt probe style and location are important... most egt probes that come with gauges have a covered junction, this makes the sensor slow to respond to temp changes (a few seconds at best) I use exposed junction probes which respond in milliseconds and are much better to keep track of EGT vs load and rpm than the slow responding covered probes.

also, if you put it at the manifold collector, you get a general temp reading.. not ideal. cylinder 3 runs the hottest so most people put it a few inches from the exhaust port on that runner. However, EGTs can vary widely between cylinders due to injector flow differences, pressure pulses in the fuel rail, intake plenum air distribution, spark plug health, spark energy, how clean/smooth the combustion event happened, etc.

to really use EGT to tune you need to have a probe in all 4 manifold runners

 

very much agreed. I am a college student so I dont have the mula for all the egt's. haha but at least one in number 3 cylinder is a must. I did pull the plugs every pull and look for particles with a magnify glass for particles. A little trick from a local tuner.
