Just finished an lsVtec build (b16A2 head, stock b18b bottom) and am looking for a Hondata tuner since its running really rich. I found DGTune will do a remote tune for a solid price, but I can't seem to find any reviews on reddit or anything. Anyone know about them or else another remote tuner?

 

Why not use a local tuner ? Where are you located ?

 

Mostly the price and convenience since the nearest shop I know of is 2 hours away in houston. I really just want decent mpg. Got 70 miles on half a tank

 

Before getting a tune, make sure there isn't a mechanical issue causing it to run rich. A tuner will get better results if everything is working properly first.

 

Street tuning isn't really rocket science. I'm guessing you would need to access the ECU and datalogs yourself to get a remote tune. If that's true, since you are already running way out of spec, I recommend you do a street tune yourself ASAP. That will help you figure out what is going on and eventually you can get to Houston for a proper dyno tune. Just make sure your wideband is recording correctly, keep the AFRs close to 14.7, and the ignition timings stock and I think you can't get into too much trouble.

 

I've gone through a couple basemaps for different motors, b16, gsr, itr, and they all ran the same fuel-wise (rich). That makes me think it's not a problem with the tune. Any ideas? I'm considering getting a wideband O2 and maybe a new fuel pressure regulator.

 

For remote tuning, you MUST have a wideband O2 sensor installed and properly functioning so that A/F data can be reported to the tuner.

 

I see. Guess that's what's next then. thanks for letting me know
