I have a turbo gsr and it has not been tuned. Everyone keeps telling me to get it tuned before somthing happens.
But what I want to know is what should be tuned on my motor and around how much will it cost/ can i do it myself?????? If i cant do it does anyone have a recc. were to go???

 

oh my......... I am taking it that this is your first car? or this is your first build and you dont know much about it.... Yes you will need the car tunned. As in taking it to a shop that tunes cars. or you will blow you shiot up

If you dont know what needs to be tunned then you shouldnt even ask the question of if you can do it yourself. Cost is going to depend on what you get and who does it

 

im guessing this is your first turbo car.

what exactly do you have in the car?

 

yep its my first turbo car
T3/T4 turbo, front mount, tial external wastegate, tial FMU, HKS BOV, gauges, t- timer, stock ecu, internals and injectors, but im starring at my RC440's on my table along with a greddy timing belt and UR ss pulley set

 

I would advise you to sell both the timing belt and pulley set. But that’s just me, I have seen a lot of aftermarket timing belts skip teeth while dynoing them. And the pulley set is not always balanced which isn’t good. stick with a OEM Honda timing belt and stock pulley's because you don’t really need them

Look into Hondata, Neptune, Come, Uberdata or something along those lines and get rid of the FMU.

 

yep sell your pulley set...or more then likely you will blow your oil pump...if you want an aftermarket crank pulley, get the fluid damperner!

 

what brands of aftermarket timing belts have you seen skip teeth??????B/C this one looks and feels very strong and the teeth are reinforced.
UR pulleys are the best brand of pulley out thier and for a possibly 10-20h.p./torque gain its worth it. And oem pulleys are lbs. heavier.
Do I need a FMU with for ex. Hondata??????????

 

fluid damperner???????

HAHAHAHAHA UR pulleys are JUNK!!! they will NOT give you 10-20 HP gains.

I have seen both Greddy and Toda skip teeth.

No you will not need a FMU with Hondata.

do a search on fluid damperner they are one of the best.

 

You could call me at 203-330-0872. My name is Greg. I tune hondata. If the car needs to be picked up I could also do that. I am local ct. Last week picked a car on 195 exit 85. Maybe you another 30 minutes or so. I own my own shop in CT. I have done lots of local cars. We can also talk about a price. I'll be at the shop from 9am- 6pm. Hope to hear from you.

 

you from RI? hit up n20civicb18 (kyle). i think he can help you. there's AMS tuning too.

you should sell me your stock cat and get a test pipe or high flow cat

Thanks for the tips though.
