Getting My TSX Dyno Tuned

[@SBBUK]

Me again - getting my car remote tuned currently and have an issue with inconsistent AFRs. I remembered your video and thought maybe it was a similar issue with the O2 sensor. Mine was stuck in the OEM downpipe so I replaced it with an aftermarket one that maybe isn't working right. What brand was the sensor you removed and what brand was the new sensor? Cheers

I'm pretty sure the sensor that came out was original to the car; it just needed to be replaced due to age. The replacement one was NGK or Denso. Both are quality brands so either one is fine.

@@_kanes thanks for that I've put a denso in now, looks identical to the original one, fingers crossed that solves my issue.

@@SBBUK np man. Let's hope it works. If not, you'll figure it out.

Great results! Does tuning by nick do remote tunes? My 6mt has similar mods (rv6 downpipe, greddy catback, injen cai) and was looking to maximize it. Cheers

Yeah he does. All you need is your own Hondata and he can do it. You can find his email on his KZbin channel.

Good results! You can change out the intake manifold for another one like RRC, you do lose a bit of low end torque but possibly gain +10hp at the top end. 220-230 seems to be the limit for yhese cars without a head swap or forced induction. Ive got an RSP manifold on mine with shortened trumpets, was reasonably straightforward to fit with the PRL adapters. No tune yet, waiting for exhaust still....zzzz. Considered changing injectors and throttle body but came to the conclusion its a waste of money for this power level.

Not gonna bother with the manifold; too much hassle and the trade off isn't worth it for me. I think bolt on with cams you can reach around mid 240hp. If you wanna keep up with the German cars though, you need boost. Idk though, too much money needed for all this bs.

@@_kanesHow much $ would you realistically need to put down to get a TAX to 240hp? Because that’s a nice sweet spot to reach.

[@_kanes]

With an intake, exhaust, cams, injectors, Hondata and a tune, I wanna say no more than 5 grand. And think about it, that's basically a worry free and bulletproof set up.

@@_kanes Good shout about the cams, just saw Tuning by Nick did a video about this with a 9th Gen SI. Seems to bring the torque in a bit lower which nice. If I still have the car in a year or twos time I might consider it! I've spent too much money on it already so im in it for the long haul I reckon..
