aaron the price i got you yesterday INCLUDED the rockers. so cancel the order cause they are expensive from honda. knock alert is about $220 and any msd dealer can get one.

Paul from splitfire did my ECU, i found him to be alright he gained me 12 extra horsepower and 24 footpounds of torque.

Paul from splitfire did my ECU tuning on my b20b and b17a1, he did some pretty good work for me, i think it all depends on how u approach him.

Paul from splitfire has straight up lied to me and my friends, i've never taken my car there because i refuse to let other people touch my car. Especially people that lie to me.
But its amazing what happens with a little tuning eh?...lol

imported_plzbeleiveit

it is amazing how smooth and quiet the car ran. he got an extra 7 hp and 20 footpounds of tourque

Which one was it 12whp and 24 ft/lbs or 7whp and 20 ft/lbs?
Or was this two different cars?

LEITNER

blah blah blah. the best thing is go meet the tuner to get a feel for what he is like and go from there. take someone who knows his stuff for added knowledge in your corner. ask educated questions and if you dont get the same kind of answers in return run.

I couldn't agree more.
I would also suggest talking to people who've had their car tuned by your potential tuner. Ask them things like how long it took them to tune their car, how many dyno runs they did and what were the results and how much it cost them.
I would also give your tuner as much info about your setup as possible. And specify what octane gas you plan on running.

what would be an ideal headgasket thickness if i wanted to lower my compression as low as it could be with the gasket??? stock internals d16z6

LEITNER

i cant remember the stock d series gasket thickness so itsa hard for me to say.

if you want it as low as it could be just get the thickest one possible

imported_t_dot_SiR

usually, how much is to tune a car that is mildly built like cams, pistons, rods, springs, gaskets, etc?

how about a turbo on a b16a2 (how much to tune that)? typically... looking for a range, so i don't get too shock when i talk about money issue with the tuners

zeeman

it depends on how long it takes...i would say anywhere between $300-1000.

LEITNER

call a tuner

Theres nothign wrong with paul from splitfire. He does great work, he has been around long before you got into this sport. He takes pride in his work so before you go and bash somebody and trying to ruin a business reputation think before you do it. He must know something to build an 8.66 civic.

Every shop has good and bad stories, and everyshop can drop the ball. Educate yourself and base your decision on the information you gather form speaking with the tuner.

Remember everyone's siht stinks

You made 5 statements and my experience tells me some are true and some aren't and well leave it at that.
