is it more tunenable?

 

 

generally, you cant really tune a RED X.

edit: there ya go lol

you dont want to tune the AFR just by the number. you want to tune by the power its making. generally you dont want to be on the lean side but not too far from stoich. depending on set up, 13-14 is a good(safe) range to be in throughout the RPM band. running a little bit on the rich side helps cool the pistons as well. running lean is just bad altogether.

It isn't perfectly tuned. But, are you asking if it is tuned OK, or if you can tune it more? You're a bit lean from 6-7K (scary!) and a little richer than an NA ITR would want at 8.5K.

What tuning do you have available? Hondata, FPR, VAFC?

 

well now ill ask more. is it tuned ok and is there room for improvement. does my car still need some work. i am using a vafc with a kenji p28

 

ehhh you arent excessively lean...but I would try to add some fuel in those lean spots just to see how the car responds. if you lose a couple HP/TQ id say its safer in the long run.

 

where should the air/fuel ratio be throughout the whole powerband i heard it should be even at about 12.8-13.2 is that correct

 

I don't know for Hondas, but in the VW world, that's where the tuner's claimed max power would be generated from.

i honestly wouldnt touch the A/f any more. Thats a pretty good a/f curve
a little lean on the upper parts, but i dont think its bad

i think this is way to rich. i had my car way leaner than that with port/polish, higher compression and big cams. 12-13 sounds more like a forced induction a/f ration.

 

12.8-13.2 is a safe NA tune. But like 13.2-13.5 maybe is more agressive and will make a tad more power.

12.8-13.2 is wayyyyy toomuch for a turbo Honda Ryan

you're trippin if you think upwards of 14:1 AF is fine!!!

Stoich is 14.7 and you don't want to be near there!

Usually low 13's is best NA and low 12's is best boosted...although there are exceptions

depends on the set up and whos tuning it. my car liked to be leaned out but i never leaned it past 14. generally low to mid 13s across the board. :shrugs:
