Finally got my car on a dyno tuned the vafc
no overall Hp gain just gain over the entire band but peak is the same about 170 whp is that low.

I have a act clutch, jun flywheel, aem v2 intake,dc headers rs*r exhaust megan mid pipe what else unorthodox underdrive pulleys 3 pcs. i think thats it.

excellent deal on the dyno 100.00 for 7 runs it took about 40 min from when i walked in the door. last guy told me 250.00

seems the only thing tuned was the A/F ratio which the guy got to follow the base line

please if its not trouble let me know what you guys are working with and what kind of whp you get out ther BTW I have a 95 prelude VTEC

also at this point what would be good additions for more power i have heard a few things mill the head . cams

what kind of power can i get staying NA Thanks alot hope to hear good feedback

 

170hp isn't that bad for your setup

 

Where did you go to dyno? Did you do the tuning or did the tuner there?

 

Inever ever messed with the af settting the tuner did everything he did try lowering my vtec engagement from 5000 to 4600 and on that run i lost about 20hp when it kicked in so i guess 5000 is good. I wnt to a place in Ronkonkoma NY pampena motorsports they have a all wheel dyno. The guy is pretty cool its mostly a Turbo shop they do a ton of 3000 gt vr-4's says they ship em to him from all over

 

try checking your compression numbers?

Two problems with that maybe i can solve em with help.

1 I need to scan them right ?? so i njeed to find a scanner ill try tonight
2 can someone recommend a good image hosting site . i will need that laso correct. i sighned up for one never got a email to activate it and since then forgot what site it was

anyone else wann share whp on their ludes all are welcome i am interested in the NA personally to see what else is out there

also anyone know what a stock lude does on a dyno or evan an semi accurate way to estimate like 15% of what the manufactures claim thanks

 

this is probably the most couisidencial thing in a long time

I too drive a 95 vtec IN NY with the following Mods

Jun Flywheel, Exedy clutch, dC sports (knock off) headers, CAI, RSR exhaust and VAFC 2 ( + some other stuff b ut not mentioned)


pretty crazy !!! how many miles u have on the engine, i now know what i can expect in the spring

 

Excellent always glad to hear from a N Y er
94,000 on the engine the car is pretty nice Im happy with it maybe if i get the pics set up ill post a few . very tastefully done (everything) i guess just my style Thinking of maybe selling I have bad luck had the car for about 2yrs store it in the winter and am just afraid . kinda like i had my fun its very nice and maybe sell it before i crash or someother bad luck happens too me. im back and forth

plan on getting it dynoed I am on LI u too. i recommend the shop i went to. i think $100.00 was cheap. he told me $125 originally but when i came to it just a Buck

 

Im in Rochester, How far are you from here?

you should come to the meet the 30th!

 

thats like upstate right ?? I am on Long Island do you know where it is ??

what meet are you talking about?Ludes

 

let me know a good host sidte scanned the graphs tonight although i only have 4 of 9

 

imagestation.com

 

for my JDM lude i have a simota short ram intake, custom headers, JASMA 3"cat back exhuast, 5zigen muffler..lightend flywheel lighten pulley , external msd...
i got 147fwkw which is 199.8whp...i stil havent tuned my vafc2 are the numebrs between JDM and usdm that much different... oh yeah and i used pump 98 gas

 

where the hell do you get 98 octain pump gas?

man, texas sucks...

 

thats not bad i guess, but its 170 what a stock motor should put out?


americ_ian: how are you making 200whp with just a i/h/e setup???? who made this custom header?

 

anyone know what a stock vtec lude puts out on the dyno ?? if my #s are low what could be the problem. Oh i will get the graphs up tonight for sure

 

stock is 160-163

dropping your vtec to 4600 and not adjusting anything is retarded...you need to add fuel to compensate for the lower crossover.

the fact that he just did that and then immediately put it back to 5000 tells me he has no clue what he's doing, and probably did a shitty tune

 

I put down 155hp/135ft.lbs in my '01 SH. The car was stock and had about 30K on the odo.

 

I dont really dont know if he adjusted anything wen he lowered the vtec. does it have to complete a few runs at 4600 to tune it or can you set it lower and increase decrease the a/f . is there a rule of thumb or anything.

if stock is 163 then why the hell am i making no pwer . im starting to get pissed. not over the tuning bt why is it soo low.

i dont have alot of options when it comes to tuning either. the other place i can go to is a place called mustang magic. just by the name tells me they arent going to know how tomtune a vafc.

I assume the guy knows about the vafc he said it is his favorite piggy back computr.

can you guys help me with posting my results . i got the imagestation setup. but how do i get it to show up in this post.

also i gotta either return to the dyno shop or see if they canemail me my results. all he gave me were 4 sheets . the one i will post is all 8 runs.

So dc header completely suck or what is that my biggest problem .

whats the deal my numbers are low or not iam getting mixed responses if what satan srv said is right damn i didnt really do any better than stock. and that completely sucks. i was honestly hoping for something closer to 200whp.

 

You can always got to RPM NYC and talk to tommy about tuning it. But you will pay a hefty price for it. They don't mess around though, you will get your money's worth... well, you will get a good tune. It may cost you 450 though.

For imagestation, now just right click on your pics there, take the properties and copy them into your post and then use the insert image icon to make them show up in the thread.

I think that the guy who did your tune doesn't know too much. He would need a couple runs to adjust A/F after lowering it to get it perfect.

I have the same problems as you in finding a good tuner out here on the island. I might get stuck going to RPM too.... I just think it is messed up to pay more for a decent tune than for hondata/chip/datalogging equipment.

What else can be tuned besides a/f it is on the money in one of the scans

The guy jsut lowered it to see the affect not sure what the a/f was on that run but thast why i gotta get the results all printed out . think they have them on the computer or what .

why are my gains so little if satan is right with his #'s.

I was talking to a friend with his bmw m3 older style new motor pretty fast . anyway hes talking to mee about intake manifolds airflow sensors or something is all that stuff applicable and if so worth it.

what can be tuned besides a/f the first run it is all shitty thenear the end its right on. i get no gain in HP at all.

I live in New Zealand(lord of the rings)(JDM land)
highest pump gas we got here is 98octane.. we have 91, 96, and 98 on the pump
A performance shop down here made them for me... just a basic 4-2-1 design longer and smoother than the stock h22a headers....
