i have a B18c in my del sol and im trying to get it tuned... this guy matt shu does tuning in my area and he said hed street tune it for 100 bucks but he said i need a chipped ecu... i looked on j-k-tuning.com and phearable.net... i send it for around 100 bucks but phearable.net says that u tell them what u have on ur car and they set up the ecu so does it even need 2 be tuned? or is the ecu that phearable.net does actually tuned already?

 

is it a stock motor?? if it is why tune it and even if it has basic bolt ons why tune??

 

the tuner said he could get power out of it

 

bump

 

stock motors dont need tuned-even with boltons
the computer from those places have programs on them. nontunable
you need something that can edit. look into crome,hondata etc.

 

he was gonna street tune with crome

 

if you send your ecu to phearable.net they set it up with crome so it can easily be tuned.

 

ok sweet thats what i was trying to figure out... they put like a little plug on it like a usb plug or something

 

Bought a p28 from phearable.net chipped. I have a b16 i/h/e, man i noticed a HUGE difference in midrange power. I didn't move my vtec engaugement(5500) and I moved my rev to 8500. Well worth it imo.

 

what should i move my vtec and rev to with my b18c? my vtech right now is 4400 which seems really low to me should i rev it to 8500 or keep it at 8200?

 

wow i spelled vtec wrong LMFAO!!! pardon me haha i should know better than that haha

 

bump... trying to find out if i should move my vtec engagement up

 

Raise your vtec to stock. That is wayyy to low. Rev to 8500 or leave it at 8200. That doesnt really matter, just get that vtec raised!!!1

Stock with butterflies is at 4400 and butterflies open at 5400. If your running a non butterflied manifold you would want the vtec at 5400 for better responce.

A basemap is only good enough to get you to a dyno with wideband or a wideband for street tune. If you dont know what your doing you could easily destroy a motor. If the motors stock the most youll get out of tuning is probably 10whp. If you street tune you wont know what your making and if you made 1whp better youll probably think its the greatest. The tuning really depends on what you want out of the car. I would street tune only for mpg. Dyno shows what power your making.

 

yea so should i keep it at 4400 or raise it to like 5000?

I answered that in my last post. It all depends on what intake manifold your running.

 

well its the b18c manifold so should i just leave it where it is?

 

Yes its stock. You shouldnt do anything to it unless your going to build or atleast put cams in there.

 

ok well ima get the phearable.net chipped ecu and c how it does mayb ill get a dyno tune just so i can c my numbers
