1992 Honda Accord.
H22a engine swap.
Today we compared a stock P13 engine computer to a proper dyno tune.
The car arrived running on a factory engine computer that came from a 1993 Honda Prelude (a P13). The customer claimed the car ran well on this computer. After this morning I can confirm that removing the factory P13 engine computer, and properly dyno tuning the engine helped tremendously.
The RED graph is the stock P13 ECU.
The BLUE graph is tuned on a chipped P28 ECU.
H2B swapped H22 Civic.
Pump Gas VS e85.
93 octane is the red dyno graph (219 whp & 164 wtq).
E85 is the blue dyno graph (221 whp & 168 wtq).
As I explain to people all of the time. The gains when running ethanol in your all motor car are not always drastic. It's always more safe though
B Series AWD Civic.
GSR / Fueltech / e85.
727 whp and 507 wtq on 32 psi.
I don't even know what turbocharger this is (no labeling). I think we maxed it out (small t3 frame).
2008 Honda Civic Si.
There was a roaring noise from the transmission. The needle bearing on the countershaft was bad. The bad bearing caused damage to the countershaft itself.
4 Door Honda Civic Hatchback.
Yes, you read that correctly 🙃.
We are replacing the old leaky turbocharger, and fixing a bunch of other stuff before dyno tuning it.
2010 Camaro SS.
Equipped with a BTR Red Hot camshaft. A cold air intake, headers, and an exhaust. It arrived with 424 wheel horsepower. It left with 455 wheel horsepower.
This vehicle has been tuned at other shops previously. The customer leaves every shop unhappy and displeased. The customer has drivability complaints due to the characteristics of the camshaft that he has installed. A stall converter would address everyone of his complaints.
We did what the customer asked and we tried to fix his drivability issues. We think we did well but we may just be bad mouthed at the next dyno shop 😂. After completing this task I researched the camshaft specs to find that the camshaft works best when paired with a stall converter (on auto cars). Go figure 🤷
