Default Service Offered: Hondata Street Wideband Tuning

I am located in Northern PA near Binghamton, NY and soon to be moving to Ithaca, NY near Syracuse, Binghamton and Rochester.

There is nobody in this area offering this service and I am willing to do it part time by appointment for those interested (this is not my career just a hobby I am passionate about!).

I firmly believe that street tuning with a wideband O2 sensor is the way to go for a STREET driven vehicle. I have a Hondata 4B and a wideband meter that I will use to tune your car either at my location or I will meet you at a convenient location within a reasonable distance from my house.

1. Service to include Wideband tuning @$75/hr. Expect about 4hrs to do it right.
2. Final ROM chip burned (included in price) and a floppy with before and afterl datalogging.
3. Further Dyno tuning (dyno time plus my time) in Syracuse NY at Jim Ford's Dyno Center to fine tune timing/CAMS/fuel (although this is optional since street tuning does such a fine job)

Well, Binghamton is about 3hrs north of Philly right on 81. I live 50min west of Binghamton but its easy enough for me to meet up there. If I have to drive farther than that to meet you I will charge for driving time (I initially drove 6hrs to try and get my car tuned and drove back still not tuned right).

Yes, I could do the Hondata install as well if you like. Really that just requires you to send me the ECU (or just buy a second one used and send me that one and sell yours when you do the swap so you have no down time on your car). Price is $50 to do the soldering (standard fee).

I think the rest is an easy DIY (wiring in the switch and light if you so desire. I have yet to wire mine in anyway since you can set everything on the ROM chip itself.

If someone wants to buy me a 4B, I've got a wideband and a dyno and would be happy to help out.

I'm using the DIY unit. Its a nice unit but not for the uninitiated at delicate electronics projects. It overall a great unit. I tested it against a Motec unit and they are the same. I have it rigged up to datalog right into the Hondata ROMeditor. Its a bit tricky to do the tuning. Doug has given me a few tips that have helped a bit. Takes a bit of patience but the end result is a very driveable car that will be reliable. I'm boosting nicely and safely to 10.5 psi on my stock engine although I don't think i'll push that hard all the time.

Leon.
I'm running AFs of close to 14 but in boost I go to about 12.5 (Lambda 0.85)
I'm getting about 250WHP at 9psi. I need to redyno my car though. Note that numbers on the dyno may go up or down after wideband tuning but driveability goes way up!

Well,
I've got lots of people interested by all the emails I received. I'm pleased to see such an interest. I hate to see people get charged a small fortune and land up with a car that hesitates while driving down the street.

Is there anyone else out there wideband tuning like this that can share experiences?
