you'd be amazed what it can do.. pretty much anything you want to adjust..
idle.. fuel.. timing its amazing

I would say just have the p72 tuned. Unless you know what you are doing you can do more damage than good. And if on a budget s300 is not the way. It is a great tuning tool for an advid tuner still IMO tho. You have to buy and install the unit and then pay someone to tune it. You are about a grand into getting running correct. We offer street tuning on the wideband, check and set timing, adjust fuel pressure if equipped for 200. Much cheaper if you do not know how to tune a s300. LMK

good points sir.. this makes me think
the s300 is expensive but i need something that can really be tuned efficiently
can you do that with just a chip?
i've always had emissions problems and NEED to be able to pass after my car is boosted
i didnt plan on messing with the s300 myself i just wanted it since your tuner is in control of so much

You can still be tuned w/ a data logger on a wideband. the difference is you just have to save your program to a chip whereas s300 you can plug the laptop direct to the ecu and upload. For tuning and emissons having someone do a custom tune not just buying an off ebay or chip for somone elses car will work. Keep in mind you may want 2 chips. 1 for emissons w/ lower hp and fuel settings and one for power.

Or you can save on the wideband and come to us. lol We can custom tune it with our wideband on the data logger set the timing correct and fuel pressure if equipped with a FPR a gauge. We include the chip, socket to accept the chip and installing it into your board for 200. 100 for a base map chip with out the wideband and data logger. LMK

Once we socket it for you can easily do it yourself. You take off the cover and will be the only chip that is now removable due to the socket we install. You just pull the old one out and plug a new one in.

how would that work with the tuning on one chip than another? 2 different costs?

LOL Thanks bro. It's because we are people / racers building cars too. We know that we can't afford inflated prices. So we figure most are in the same boat. And others that have the extra money to throw around... Well being frugal is not a down fall!

Jon;1327988']wow thats awesome

Well we would only charge you for one street tune of say 200 if obd1 and do an additional basemap for the emissons chip @ another 50. Or 250 for street tune on obd0 and 70 for a chip for emissons. Some people run 2 chips if running nitrous. That way you can have a strong all motor chip and a track chip when on the bottle so timing and fuel is correct.

02-09-2009, 11:07 PM
ok cool. its an obd1 gsr btw
so total of like 300 for everything and im good to go?
thats a lot cheaper than a 575 dollar s300 plus 450 for tuning haha

200 for obd1 plus 50 for additonal chip, so 250.

And yeah WAY less exspensive than s300 plus install, plus tuning. Again not at all knocking the s300. It is a GREAT tuning tool for those who can tune themselves and need to be able to adjust there car all the time on the fly. But for us with less of a budget... Not so much lol So when are we tuning you? :)

yaah for dangerous and inaccurate street tuning.
all hondatas allow for 2 maps with the flick of a switch, even the s100.

So our Innovative wideband is less accurate than yours? We set timing the same? We set fuel pressure off the same kinda gauge. We actually help trouble shoot peoples issues and help them fix them if needed, not just turn them away.
And for the dangerous comment... So is flying in a airplane but hundreds of thousands of people do it a day. That's like saying... Racing is bad, don't do it, No:lame:. I grew up street racing as you prob did too. But sounds like alot of people on here forget that and are better than others now. If we did not street race in the early 90's most of the companies making the parts we buy would not even exist. The companies would never have seen the demand for the parts.
We may not get a dyno hp and torque # but we also don't charge as much. We can make your car run at safe a/f ratios and make it alot faster.
I did not say a word about you. You have no idea who we are or our abilites. Why try and flame us ? As for the Hondata you can switch tunes as I said and we would show them how to do it themselves. Not charge them to do it.


yay for future blown motor

We have NEVER blown anyones motor on a tune... NEVER. Not alot of people can say that!

why not chip and run VAFC?

why not chip and run VAFC?

This also works well to fine tune fuel settings on a already tuned chip. We can also do this. We do tune VAFC and AFC if needed. We like to not hook up the VTEC to the VAFC due to the ECU having different maps for low cam and hi cam under load and off load. So it will basically be an AFC. Or just get a AFC instead? If you use the VAFC to run VTEC you will only be able to tune fuel across the board not in seperate. So either hi cam (in vtec) starves for fuel or lo cam (not in vtec) drowns in fuel or they both suffer tryin to find a happy median.

Cool, you and Kenny (our partner and tuner) can compare setups. He also has a GSR/ Poormans R on boost... Runs 11.9 on low boost and small slicks on a non sleeved bottom end. So let just say he knows his was around a turbo obd1 GSR setup lol

You can't go wrong with VAFC its much more in the budget range for most ppl

I had a b16a crx hf with VAFC
did 13.8 on street tires :) had vtec set at 3500

some ppl say its impossible but my friend has the vid :( He was just stationed in Korea and hasn't uploaded the vid yet I'm dissapointed

this is what I had done to the rex

OBD1 conversion
ITR Camshafts
HKS adjustable cam gears
Import-ss chipped p30 ecu
Megan Race Header
Short Ram Intake
2 1/2 Piping Cat back with exhaust with a cat
MSD 7-A2 box
MSD pro comp cap
MSD pro comp Coil
APEXi VAFC
Clutch Masters 6 puck clutch


Some people say I'm lying that I had HKS cams due to never seeing them on a b16a but everybody from the CRX meet has seen them ;)

lol I've set the vafc at 3000 before it was funny and I think my friend tried 2500 as a joke... shit drains gas

I DD with it set at 4500 tho
