Well...I got my car retuned today.

The only thing that changed from the last tune is the Skunk2 intake manifold and the Holley 62mm TB. The boost stayed the same at 9 PSI on a Garrett 57 trim .63 A/R.

Mind you as you look at the powerband this is an LS (read Non-VTEC) 1.8L

Mods:

Forged slugs, Eagle rods, Supertech valvetrain, Crower 402T cams and a ramhorn with a full 3'' exhaust, plus tons of other stuff.

Here is the compare sheet...note the huge high end gain and the minimal low end loss.

And here is the one with just todays run on it.

Just for ****s and giggles we turned up the boost a little and on my Setting A on the AVC-R she made 345 WHP, 260 WTQ on 14 PSI LOL. Won't be seeing that much more for a while as my clutch would hate me.

CR is 10:1 from when I had the JRSC build. Still works well with the safe tune though.

Cool. Im either going with 9.8:1 or 10.0:1 on my Ls/vtec turbo build. Im probably gonna use a garrett 57 trim turbo also. When do you first get into boost? And when does it top out? I want to see boost around 3500rpms.

I first see boost around 3300 or so and make full boost by 3800 or so. I make great power all the way to 8K. I would think you would spool pretty fast since the VTEC head flows better than the LS head does by far. I am not really sure. Make sure you use a good free flowing exhaust...that helps spool alot.
