Made tuning appointment - help me with prep-checklist pls?
Guys,
I made an appointment to have the little beast tuned by Kenny (Turbogixxer).
Car (tuning related stuff):
Performed during the swap (about 9 months ago):
To be performed right before tuning:
Anything else I might be missing?
Thanks for the help with the brainstorming.
I made an appointment to have the little beast tuned by Kenny (Turbogixxer).
Car (tuning related stuff):
- '93 Hatch with JDM ITR swap
- Buddy Club adjustable Cam Gears
- Chipped P28 with base ITR map
- 3" SRI/BPi velocity stack/K&N Filter
- RMF Narrow replica header
- Apex'i WSII
Performed during the swap (about 9 months ago):
- Cleaned injectors (cleaned by Cruzinperformance.com)
- New timing belt, seals, water pump, VC gasket and related items
- New fuel filter
- New fuel tank (upgraded to a 11.5 gallon, so I know it's clean/no gunk)
To be performed right before tuning:
- Fresh oil and filter
- Valve Adjustment (and installing a temporary cut valve cover for cam gear access)
- Fresh set of NGK PFR6G-11
- New OEM spark plug wires
- New OEM distributor cap and rotor
- Check and replace/clean ALL grounding points in the bay
- Clean battery contacts (Optima Yellow-top)
Anything else I might be missing?
Thanks for the help with the brainstorming.

I did. We can't think of anything else.
But I figured it would be beneficial to list everything in one spot and ask for the community's input.
The cam gears, for example, were a last minute thing (he was convinced I already had adjustable cam gears).

i've heard that putting a car with a bad alignment on a dyno can be highly dangerous, is the car aligned?

I have very slight dog-tracking in the rear (possibly bad TA from disc conversion), but the front is good.
You mean to check it for resistance?
I was going to say fuel new fuel tank but you already did it.
At least I know for sure.
Good thoughts guys, thanks for the suggestions and keep them coming.
