    taking a different approach to tuning

    I will try and do a dyno before and after all the mods i will report back soon as av done it. end of the day am trying to help not take the piss

    taking a different approach to tuning

    If your going to mod your car for speed you need to sacrifice a bit of reliability. Why mess with pistons,valves etc when a similar outcome can come a lot cheaper and more reliable. Stock components are usually always more reliable then a build engine. Yes a build engine can produce more...

    It all depends on how aggressive you want to be with the ignition maps. A safe tuner might struggle to gain you 5hp where a more aggressive tuner will get you a lot more hence going for a proper standalone. Due to the ignition timing being so aggressive after mapping it. The AEM will retard...

    I will say again i aint a expert on honda engines but i have seen on a different forum someone gaining 50hp just from adding water/meth and getting it mapped. Also water/meth provides much colder air intake temperatures which will result in more power turbo or NA. What am trying to prove...

    Water/meth is only £300 I am basing it on the fact that i have never seen a honda with a stock exhaust so why are we even mensioning of upgrading it? I aint a expert on type r's what wrong with the stock ignition system?

    water/meth on my supra i gained 120bhp on the honda am guessing atleast 20bhp with a proper map running 80% meth 20% water I bet the setup i mensioned would be a lot quicker then setups with 1-2K more spend on them - based on the fact a lot of the mods people do actually decrease the power...

    I never said i can't advanced the timing. Provided best by how much? Maybe its just people in my area who are clueless when it comes to engines I think its pretty obvious it aint my main car. I am just trying to give a few tips to you lot on how to tune your cars up and not copying everyone...

    how will you use the water meth injection without a map? 1. The AEM Series 2 is a standalone! as for air intakes stock is best with a K&N Panel filter! gets air from under the car. you would be surprised how much power you actually loose from the normal air inductions people put on it 60mm...

    nah seriously i have seen it over 10 times! with my own eyes not youtube

    All that trouble? its 1 hours work. plus water/meth will actually produce power. getting a massive exhaust system ain't! This is what i mean different approach. Aint doing the usual mods everyone does to gain 1 hp I will be mapping it

    taking a different approach to tuning

    perfect example! I gurantee the setup you mensioned on a dyno before and after will maybe make you 1 hp or loose hp due to oversized exhaust. heatwrap on a NA? that aint going to do anything. throttle body without a map? what gain are you going to get if you aint advancing your timing?

    taking a different approach to tuning

    water/meth increases the octane and helps with cooling down. regardless what compression you have. if its mapped you can gain an extra 6-8 degrees of timing which will produce a lot more power. Also by different approach i mean. everyone puts a exhaust and filter or an engine/turbo conversion...

    and just to add. I aint stripping nothing out of the car including rear seats that weight nothing to begin with

    taking a different approach to tuning

    I am planning on getting a little type r as a runabout but i would also like to tune it up a bit just to prove a point to a few people. I ain't insulting anyone on here i am just going to say what people are like where i am. No one that drives a honda actually knows how to tune a car or how...

    Just one simple question

    I know this is a stupid question but i don't know. When people talk about engine compressions what do they mean by it? Because i know some products. cams, pistons, rods etc are build for lower compression in the engine and some for higher compression. Wouldn't higher compression mean more BHP?
