good dyno shop in socal area - Honda Prelude Forum

rentien · 02-15-2005, 08:56 PM

i need to knwo a good dyno place in socal so i can properly tune my euro-r and p28 s100 hondata.

i looked on the hondata website, but they only list dealers, and i'm sure there are unlisted yet still possibly good shops out there, so i'd like to know

i've seen do it dyno, and called them, i don't know if they are good though

can anyone give me a heads up on a good dyno tuning shop?

I think AEBS does hondata tuning down in SD, but I'm not sure... might want to look into Spark Racing, too...

Check out Rage Performance located in Montclair. I am going to their shop because I'm getting their header installed. Or you can talk to @ries on this broad and he can tune it at AEBS cause he knows his sh*t. If you have $ then go to XS- Engineering, they are crazy good in Huntington Beach, the owner used to be the V.P. of Apexi, USA. If all fails, then go to Autowave, Inc. in Huntingtion Beach or Church Auto in Torrance. Hope this helps your quest for more speed.

Yea church. If i was on the west, i'd def. go there for tuning. He seems like a nice guy too.

im going to church's probably next week.. i hope my peak hp and tq wont be a dissapointment

rentien · 02-19-2005, 03:10 AM

well just so you know, i was dissappointed... so i guess be ready for a dissappointment hahaha

anyways i'll probably go to church as soon as i get the money for extra tuning since they seem to have a good rep here on this board...

blk97ludeSH · 02-19-2005, 02:08 PM

what were your numbers rentien?

rentien · 02-19-2005, 05:42 PM

178 or 179 whp on my euro-r?

stockly, the euro-r should have 217 crank hp, but i added i/h/e and it was chipped s100 p28, hondata... so i was hoping for around 230 crank hp which equals like 185whp, i was even hoping for maybe 190 whp, but i couldn't even make 180 whp

i think i've seen jdm h22a's with bolt on's beat what i got, but some people tell me those numbers are inflated and stock h22a's should be around 150whp, and what i made was actually good... i don' t know

i was disappointed though, so iono never hurts to expect less, and if you get even more then you expected that great

blk97ludeSH · 02-19-2005, 06:02 PM

^^ are you serious.. that sux.. i dynoed my car last year at 174 whp.. with intake exhaust untuned

rentien · 02-19-2005, 06:11 PM

yea... iono.... sometimes i wonder if i relaly do have a euro-r hahaha

(i mean the head, and im definitely match, the block says h22a like it should, but i can't check if the cams inside the euro-r head are type-s or not (cause i dont' knwo how to) and i can't check if the pistons i have are 11.0:1 cr)

LuDe tEkNiQ · 02-22-2005, 07:55 PM

i got my motor built by aebs a while back and ask them to drop it in and tune it but they said they only do "high dollar" stufff now so i dont kno? someone find out if they will still tune?

rentien · 02-22-2005, 09:20 PM

i can visibly see the euro-r intake manifold, and that the head is PDE, block is h22a, those are the only visual proofs that my motor is actually a euro-r (o yea red top motor too)

thats why i think some people get hp numbers that are inflated... like how some dyno's read more then others... or weren't SAE corrected or something...
