TS reflash & dyno day!!

[rroderiques77]

Well. I finally coughed up the cash and did it!! Eventhough, I was shooting for 250 HP, I am still ok with the results (241HP, 227whp). Here are the things that caught my eye:




1. Awesome torque increase! A lot more than I was expecting!!
2. AFR does not richen up until 4K. Not sure why. Tadashi blamed my 76MM MAF. I guess I agree with him to a certain extent, however the 13.5 baseline TS uses should have helped that. He also said I may have an exhaust leak
3. No data after 6600. With the extended rev limiter increased to 7100, there should have been some data. When I asked Tadashi, he stated he did not want to "push it" because it was decreasing in power anyway. It would have been good to know it regardless and I will at my next dyno after I fine tune AFR.
4. Spikes in the curve. Tadashi blamed that on the VIAS delete. I wish he would have done some runs in 2nd and 3rd gears (evidently, he uses 4th gear during the reflash).
5. I wish he would have used a Dyno Jet to begin with (see comparison sheet).

Nevertheless, worth the drive from Vegas. I am looking forward to fine tuning the AFR and re-dynoing.

How else are you compensating for the added ID of the MAF? SAFC or similar, or is it just the TS flash?

Just the re-flash for now. SAFCII hopefully going in later this week.



My thoughts exactly

How do you change the web address on your sig to your dyno results without braking the link? Pretty clever. I tried doing that for mine but failed miserably.

What mods???

[rroderiques77]

Headers
Berk-style SRI w/ AEM dry-flow filter
Pulley
Frankencar b-pipe
High-flow cat
Cattman muffler
base-timing advance
SSIM
VIAS delete
spacers
grounding kit

SAFCII (coming soon)

I think those are all the ones that matter here!!

[Grand_hustle17]

Hmmm i wanna see whats up after the tune cause that seems low... Jaypee99 had similar mods and he has a lot more than that...

[NmexMAX]

It's not a dynojet, remember that.

Did you happen to look at the comparison sheet?

[jagass]

Well, that's nice...

Aww IIRC he had a
custom made intake from his old civic
HS headers
cattman 3"
SSIM
TS reflash (no extended rev IIRC)
Test pipe
pulley and maybe one other thing, if not thats it, i might have spacers as well, and he's getting some extreme numbers.. granted that he should earn 10-15whp more than u for his headers and cattman 3"... but there's also J-dub which is on youtube with a white 6spd that has cattman I/H/E (2.5") test pipe and maybe one or two other mods that i dont know of but he's dynoing 250whp

he does have extended rev limiter

those numbers are off tho...u need to get to a dyno jet ASAP!!!!!!!

[Grand_hustle17]

thanks for the correction... what was his numbers, i forgot but i know its WAY more than 241

[datdude20]

like 255 b4 the 3 inch and tune

[Grand_hustle17]

is that what he got at ISP??? i thought it was some 270 suttn??? whp

[BLACKKILA.GTR]

dam nice man.. ill just keep wishing t0 be fast.. =(

[HotshotVQ35]

did you redyno yet?

[Grand_hustle17]

i know, im kinda waiting for this re dyno also... sell me your headers

Not yet. I am still working out a few kinks.

I changed headers and went back to the stock MAF. Now, I am running super rich due to the TS flash.

I tried tuning with SAFCII, but didn't like the particular unit. Kinda crappy if you ask me!!!

Gonna wait it out for SurraTT's Utec harness. In the meantime, I will probably send my ECU back down to TS for another reflash. He only charges like a buck fifty to redo it.

Who? Me?

[HotshotVQ35]

how does the car feel compared to the stillen headers? what maf were you running? why did you go back to stock maf?

Feels the same. A lot quiter than the Stillens.
76MM MAF. I went back to stock to compare HP and TQ betwen the two of them.

[Grand_hustle17]

wow... stock feels quicker than the stillen???, or am i reading wrong?

[rroderiques77]

I meant quieter. I went the OBX route and not back to stock.
Now my AFR, due to TS reflash, is down to the high 10s at WOT. I guess I should have kept the factory MAF on it before the flash. I am curious what I will dyno running so rich

Screw the POS SAFCII.

UTech FTMFW!!!

yeah that offers way more tuning, but for starters the SAFCII isnt so bad

[NmexMAX]

It's actually UTEC...not UTECH

^ Lol some pay alot of attention to detail haha
