1994 B18C SiR-G with AEM CAI, JDM DC 4-1, Carsound 2.5" High Flow Cat, Apex-i World Sport Catback Exhaust, B&M FPR.
I am getting the Hondata S100 for Christmas, and I am planning on having Jeff at Import Builders tune the car.
Currently, the car feels like there are slight "hick-ups" as the RPM increase. I have brand new NGK plugs and a new dist. cap and rotor. I was thinking that my fuel injectors could use some cleaning.
This is what I am thinking I should do before I take the car into Jeff to have it tuned:
1. Have the injectors serviced and cleaned. I don't really know where to take them.
2. Purchase a new Walbro 255lph fuel pump from the "Best Buys" forum to replace my stock 1993 CX pump.
Since Hondata dyno tuning is so expensive, I just want to make sure I get an accurate reading, so I don't have to have it tuned until my next major set of modifications.
On a side note:
1. When the car is tuned, will Jeff adjust the FPR and the timing to the proper specifications?
2. With the Hondata chip in place, will my car be more likely to fail the "sniffer" portion of the smog test, or will it be better, because the engine will be using the "proper" fuel tables at the various RPM levels?

RC engineering does good work on injectors, and I think they charge ~$25 each injector for service. If you get the Walbro pump you will have to drill a bypass hole in your FPR, use the search function it should be here somewhere. A tuner should tune the FPR, unless they can't because you don't have the bypass hole.
