tune my b20!

[blacknightteg]

alright so i am pretty sure i am going to need my b20 tuned and or chipped. the only thing i am concerned about is that after i do it, i will still be able to pass emissions, now i am still using my ls ecu so i would need that tuned i assume but will i still be able to pass emissions? how much do yall charge for tuning/chipping an ecu?

what year is ur car?

[blacknightteg]

the car is a 94

[BTEC]

oh. if u just running bolt ons with a cat you should b fine.

[blacknightteg]

yeah i am. but should i still not get it tuned though? i mean since it is a different engine running off the old ecu?

[EmminoDaGreat]

You should be fine, since they are pretty similar engines, unless you want to get it tuned in which its $80 to chip and 140$/hr to tune

[blacknightteg]

how long would you think it would take to tune it?

i always reccommend atleast strapping it dwn 4 a baseline with a/f logged so u know if its safe or not.

lol can you say in stupid man terms? sorry im a lil ignorant when it comes to this stuff.

make sure ur air fuels are not lean or 2 rich. and make sure u dont have any detonation. if everything is good no need to chip and tune, unless u want to get every hp and ft-lb of torque that u can.

Scotty can usually do everything you need in 2 hrs....Definately worth it if you have the coin!

$80 to chip $280 to tune. i thought your car was obd2 so disregard my message about getting a b20 ecu since they are obd2.

let me chip your p75 you're using and tune it and be done...you should pass since it's a sniffer test on obd1 cars.

call me and we can discuss. 678-614-3596...leave your name/# if i don't answer.

how much to tune a turbo b20? The car is a 97' civic 4 door. I was planning on swapping everything when it came time to do emissions. good idea or bad idea?

[scttydb411]

turbo honda dynotune=$420 up to 3hrs on the dyno. get your emissions done before going turbo if you are able to.

plus the $80 to chip the ecu? the thing is i don't have another header , and my down pipe has the cat welded to it ( along with the o2 bungs). i talked to you(scotty) about it a while back and you said to pull the wastegate spring out and limp it up there. also i need another piece to the wiring harness do you know of any junkyards around? i just refuse to pay the $900 the dealership wants for a whole new engine harness, when i just need the piece that goes through the firewall. thanx

check honda parts connection in sugarhill/buford. you will probably need to haggle on price.

tuning price is seperate from chipping of the ecu. yes, $80 to chip the ecu.

ok thanks man . Im anxious to get this thing going I've been working on it on and off for 4 years( my first honda). I had no clue that none of the parts are interchangeable between d and b series.Oh well live and learn. Thanks again for your input and Im looking forward to bringing it to you guys, you all seem to know what your talking about.
