FINALLY got her tuned - Honda Prelude Forum

Force Fed Lude · 04-02-2005, 08:07 PM

Alright, so after driving my car untuned for over a year, I finally got the cash togeather to get it tuned. This is my current setup:

=Greddy Turbo Kit - including:
=Greddy TD05/TD06H-18G Turbo w/ internal wastegate
=Greddy Cast SUS Manifold
=Greddy Air Intake
=Greddy 31v Front-Mount Intercooler

=HKS Super Sequential Blow-Off Valve
=2.5" Downpipe
=3" Flex Pipe
=3" Test Pipe
=3" Mandral Bent Catback Exhaust
=Hondata s100 with boost
=RC 550CC injectors
=Magnaflow Muffler
=ACT Heavy Duty Pressure Plate w/ Hybrid Street Disc Clutch Kit
=ACT Streetlite 11.9 lb. Flywheel
=DC Sports Short Shift Adapter
=NGK Spark Plugs

I made 220WHP and 210WTQ untuned with the Greddy blue box at 7 psi. It was tuned today, conservative, at 9 psi.

I know I'm gonna get flamed for running 9 psi on a stock H22, but keep in mind this is the Greddy 18G turbo, which is quite a bit smaller then most boosted H22s.

At 7 PSI, they couldn't get over 225WHP, and I wasn't about to pay this much for an extra 5WHP. So we went up to 9 psi, the car ran great, no pinging and no detontation on the dyno. Anyway, and comments would be great. Here are the pics:

Dude, those are hella nice numbers, and look at that crazy torque curve, flat at 200 ft lbs. I think you are running a bit rich in the low end.

Nothing wrong with running 9 psi on the stock motor, I do it every day

Now what you need is a 3" downpipe, hopefully Blacktrax made a jig so they can make more: My Custom DP (56K nono)

HAHAHA! thats my pipe! sweeet. nope, no jig. Sweet numbers.
P.S. The stock DP for the greddy kit is no where NEAR 2.5. It's more like 2. Seriously, it sucks.
9 pounds is no prob. Shark, me and a butt load of others run it daily ... Shark untuned! HAHA

shark untuned? I may not have put it on a dyno, but it is hardly 'untuned'

No, it's not the Greddy dp. I got a new 2.5" one when I got the exhaust.

Looks like you've got a really sweet setup there! Thinkin of a LSD?

To be honest, I'm thinking that I have spent WAY too much money this point. I'm prob about $15,000 into her, not including the price of the car. At this point, I'm very happy with it, and I think I'd like to just keep her how she is.

Force Fed Lude · 04-04-2005, 11:18 AM

Well now that I've been driving it more, I notice I am getting detonation in 3rd and 4th gear at WOT in high RPMs. Any ideas what I can do? I'm thinking I'll just take it back to my tuner and tell him to retard the timing a couple degrees. The thing is, am I going to have to get it on the dyno and to get it taken care of?

Paluce · 04-04-2005, 12:59 PM

keep you A/F between 11.5 and 12:1 at high RPM. it should help you a bit. I'd pull some timing as well. It's not worth blowing a motor.

flip1199 · 04-04-2005, 07:19 PM

not to be a dick but that dyno sheet doesnt really look tuned.. how many hours did u spend on the dyno? Most a/f curves are kinda flat, yours is all over the place between 11:1 and 12:1. i'd also be carefull in the higher rpms since your tuner kinda leaned it out up top. it's not at a very unsafe zone but since u said your already getting detenation i'd be carefull. i think you might also wanna upgrade your ignition system since it seems like your getting some missfire.
