I'm using ECUFlash which is free software that you can use to edit your stock ECU map. It has a pretty wikid interface to work from and there's a good beginners guides on tuning that is suggested to read before attempting to go at it. I can edit my Air/Fuel map in 50rpm increments as well as 0-100% throttle load. I also play around with timing a bit - get that spark as hot as possible but not to the point where it will detonate.
Accessport is really good for plug and play maps but like all off the shelf maps they run a bit rich and conservative so that a number of cars with slightly different reactions will all gain power relatively safe. Custom tunes are definitely the way to go! Where are you thinking of getting it done at? For stage 2 is it just a downpipe required for you guys?
I put down 290hp to the wheels & 265tq on my setup in the fall. That's roughly 360 crank HP! All built by my hands and my tune! I know it can hit 400hp but my motor has 222k on it and I think she's gonna blow this summer lol.
i'm down!! i wanna see your civic :toothless |
haha nice... I love subies.
I was tinkering around with access tuner race which is a software program designed specifically for the access port. As you may or may not know the speed3 has its boost turned down from the factory in 1st and 2nd gear to reduce torque steer and wheel spin. I believe it was 12-13psi 1-2nd gear and 15.5 psi 3rd and up. I flashed a stage 2 which removes all boost limits and I am currently targeting 18.5 psi holding to redline on my stock K04 turbo. I have got SRI/Inlet, cp-e catted downpipe, turbosmart hybrid BOV, HKS exhaust, COBB FMIC, AEM 50/50 meth injection. I hit 279hp and 339tq to the wheels on virtual dyno but with a proper tune I have seen 330hp and almost 400tq with these mods. Two of my buddies with speeds are running a GTX3076 turbo pushing over 450hp on stock blocks :crazy: With a proper tune anything is possible. |

k20> * turd 2.0t.
that said a k20a3...no point in engine mods. save your money. its not a z1 or a2 so youll get next to nothing with bolt ons and a tune on that engine. (the a3)
running romraider on sti over here and just some bolt ons my old turd m3.
