anyone tune at this shop? they have hondata and i need someone to retune my hondata for me as i have made some improvements to the car. any feedback on this shop and their tuning abilities?

thanks in advance

 

Have you been smoking crack recently ? J/K. Secret Services provides the finest tuning in the Central Florida area with many years of expertise. Not only they provide good knowledge but the prices are excellent as well.

Not to forget that they are Honda Tech ITR Forum Official Dyno Day provider and good friends of mine as well

 

let me know how we can help you We tend to go far and beyond what you're used to. I don't like to toot my own horn, so ask around in the forced induction forum, see what some of them have to say. Again, let me know if I can help.

 

vapor trail (john) knows his ****, when hondata is used! I am sure you will be happy!! he dynoed my pop's turbo miata! eric

 

thats what i wanted to hear

 

can't wait to see what you'll dyno this time.

 

if i dont hit 220, i am going to go ape ****. i am at 216 right now, this damn sms header better get me over 220 along with some more tuning. i also want a little more mid if possible. hoping for 5hp throughout the band. i'll keep you update cosworth

 

I have dyno'd there(at the FL Dyno Day a few weeks ago), great place, and John is pretty knowledgeable as well, nice setup , you wont be disappointed.

 

Secret Services and John SUCK!

Just kidding.

BTW John: The RX7 Turbo doesn't backfire without the TPS plugged in.. damned TPS. Haltech will be here soon too..

 

What do you charge for Hondata tuning/Dyno? I want to pull all that I possibly can from my motor w/ Hondata.....how much time do you usually require for FULL tuning on NA motors? Driving up to central FL is no prob.

 

i can tell you from experience it can require a whole day to fully tune an NA motor. also another good method is to take the car on the street with a stage 4 and wideband on it and see if you need to make any adjustments under light throttle. this gives a little better tune as well

 

I vouch for VaporTrail (John). Good services at a really great price.

Has been around for years. No one in FL has that combo of both.

 

whats your setup? what header did you have before?

 

Steve, just for kicks, here's my setup....what would say (confidently) I could expect from Hondata and your tuning?.
.
LS/VTEC 11.6:1 C.R., Eagle forged rods, SRP forged pistons (standard bore - 81mm) w/ OEM rings, Blockgaurd, ITR IM, B16A TB, Topspeed performance (Josh) P&P head, ITR valves, ITR outer/Portflow inner springs, Ferrea Ti. ret., Skunk2 Stage1 cams, AEM sprockets, Iceman shortram, B&M FPR, DC JDM 4:1, 2.5" T.P., stock ITR exhaust(might change soon), full AC & PS ........................just make an eductaed guess.

i would guess in the 175-185 range off the top of my head.
It would depend a lot on the cylinder head though.
It would behoove you to get an ITR TB, better header and exhaust as well.
A new intake wouldnt hurt either unless you have the iceman made for larger
throttlebodies.

Example: B18B VTEC I built looked like this:

11.2:1 CR Honda pistons
Stock rods
Portflow head
Stock GSR cams
ITR manifold
ITR TB
Toda Header
Stock itr exhaust

untuned it made 190whp

 

Agreed. Concerning the head though, about 1.5 years ago, we dynoed a stock ITR head vs. Josh's port job vs. Portflow. Josh's head made 13whp over the ITR and I can't remember how much more than the Portflow head. I believe in the head, I was just wondering if I could expect at least 200whp/135tq. w/ this setup and whatever tuning is necessary to get it (all day, perhaps?)? Are my assumptions feasible?

 

it all depends on how consistent he is.
