I guess it's Type R related b/c it's a B16b

Originally posted in All Motor where I thought it should go but noone had anything constructive to add as far as tuning goes. Feel free to delete if it is inappropriate here. Anyhoo...

Made a stop by MPS (Meridian Performance Services) in Lynden, Wa today for a tuning session w/ Crescent Kao (local tuning hero and road racer).

Mods to motor include: Stock 99 B16b w/ stock internals, Skunk 2 cam gears, Injen CAI, JDM 4-1 header, straight pipe and Mugen Twin Loop exhaust. Running the motor is a chipped P28.

First dyno (Blue) run was a kenji chipped program that put down 158.16hp and and 108.75tq.

Second (green) was a program that was tuned on the fly (street tuning) w/ Crome software that put down a little less hp but more tq throughout the power band than the kenji program w/ 155.12hp and 106.91tq. This program showed less hp but felt more "meaty" to drive.

The 29th run (red) was the new tune by Crescent w/ 166.80hp and 114.72tq. Notice on the plot there are significant gains throughout the band in both hp and tq and difference is definately noticeable on the street.

Final cam gear settings were +2 on the intake cam and 0 on the exhaust cam. Did alot of experimenting w/ the cam gears and this was the best combo.

Here are the plots:



A huge thanks goes out to Crescent for the time spent w/ the car. He is a great friend and an awesome tuner. If anyone in the Seattle area needs tuning he is the man, hands down (http://www.c-speedracing.com/) Any input is appreciated. Thanks for reading.

Cool. Go Seahawks!!!!

 

Yeah, how about that Monday night FOOZball game? A score of 42 to .....(crickets chirping) ... nothin' Just hope we saved enough to end the Colt's streak.

Glad to see you finally got on the dyno. Bet jor mota feels nice now.

 

So does + intake 0 exhaust settings works on all b-series motor cars that run ctr cams with i/h/e?

 

Did you guys try to lower the VTEC engament? That should help get rid of the dip between 5-6k. Other than that numbers sounds good for a B16B.

 

We did play w/ VTEC engagement and this seemed to work best. Cam gear settings will vary from motor to motor.

nice gain

 

Looks good. I was thinking the same thing about the dip. Healthy motor.
