would just like an estimate on how much power i am making, as i don't have use of a dyno or anything of that sort..maybe somebody has a similar build or something?? please let me know.

 

save some $$$ and take it to get dyno'd

 

Yup. Your gonna need to get it tuned to run properly anyway.

 

you have a built motor running 6lbs on a t3? save your next paycheck and drive to a tuner.

 

I'm running 13lbs of boost, and I have no access to a dyno, just figured you all might have an estimate by chance.

 

def get her tuned 150 miles is worth it!

 

how much does it usually cost to get a tune? if i have enough, i will be making a trip tomorrow.

 

well you need a chipped ecu for one. if they will tune it with one of the many available obd1 rom editors then you're probably looking at a few hundred dollars easy. if they only tune hondata then you'll need that plus a tune. which could range from $500 to $1,250. high end is figuring in the cost of an s300 setup ready to go plus tune/dyno time.

 

*****, i was hoping the answer would be like $100

 

nope sorry. have to pay to play

 

What he said. Just save up until you can go. It will definitely worth the money imo

 

yeah, figured that, just didn't figure it was THAT much, lol...i can probably find somebody around here that can help me tune, there are a bunch of cool honda guys around.

 

over 9000

 

i would loose that ignition if i were you, all they give are problems, trust me!

 

I'd guesstimate approximately 180-509 WHP. Give or take a couple hundred HP. Add 50hp for each NOS sticker, too. Why do you have the interior listed?

 

because i still had it copied from when i was sending my friend a message with all the info on it, didn't feel like highlighting and pressing backspace

 

i made the mistake of driving on my old boosted motor without a tune and cracked a piston! it was a very expensive mistake. PA and OH have a couple guys doing dyno work that are pretty reasonable if your in that area.

everyone is right tho, you definately need a tune on that bad boy. its worth the extra money to get all the power out of the motor.

 

If you legitimately spent all that money on this car/motor and you're worried about $1k for a tune leads me to believe either a: you have NO idea what you're doing and didnt build this car yourself or b: this is what you would LIKE to build and are trying to make everyone play a guessing game that NO ONE would be able to guess.

 

nowhere did i state that I am the one that built it.

and i am in Montana

 

I'm in California

 

wanna take a trip to montana and give me a tune??

 

 

Don't matter if he has 10 of these cars......... IBTL

 

ya deff get it tuned, i think my chipped ecu was $200 or so + $400 for dyno tune. so you looking at another $600-$1000

But you could save that money for when your motor blows, not if it does, but when it does, and you have a jump start on rebuilding it all again.

 

sorry to flame!! this guys a fake!! you either just bought it, or yoru thinking about buying it!! its been on craigslist for a while that is the whole post that was listed on craigs list. word for word. he jsut omited a small paragraph and the few pics that were posted too, when i get to a computer ill link the post!! its white hatch right! on si's! yea this car is well taken car of! its been chipped and tuned already! he doesnt know what hes talking about! if you are the owner of teh car and was selling it on craigslist, i called you and wanted to buy it but you never returned my call! either way the car is fast. shut up and drive it.
