i posted my graph and people are saying that it's my tuner. Most people are suggesting to raise vtec engagement. has your tuner tried that? I'm going in for a retune soon, so i will post my results later.

my tuner has tried puting vtec everywhere and nothing helped . just whenever it would hit vtec it would die out nasty . he said it was like he had to take vtec completely off for it to run good

oh, god. i hope this doesn't happen to me. can anyone else post their dyno with the PFAB replacement?

 

Sounds like your tuner has some difficulties understanding the emanage. Mine also died at vtec but my tuner removed the dip and got it just perfect. This is a common issue with 80% of the tuners out there. Try a different one with more emanage experience. You should make alot more hp...

 

im on AEM EMS -__- hopefully my next tuner can get past this issue. what exhaust do you have on your car?

 

im running aem ems also . and no i have stock exhaust also , stock cat ,and stock exhaust

 

Im running the berk 3" headerback with HFC, stock greddy kit on 8PSI boost, EU octane 98 fuel and 297 HP ( FLYWHEEL POWER )

Im going back soon to tune it on 10/11 PSI.. hoping to achieve around 350HP flywheel power what would be around 300WHP ( dunno if 2-3 extra psi will achieve that.. )

p.s. you want to engage vtec at around 7000RPM on this kit. thats the sweet spot to get the full use of the non vtec cams and have a smooth lineair power curve.. ( at the end, the tuner will ALWAYS be the most important factor )

 

You should try removing that HFC and put a test pipe . That HFC is robbing some power

 

I dont think the hfc should rob a handfull of ponies. Can you verify that or do you assume that? I was thinking of bryan from berk having me make a new midsection with testpipe and an extra resonator... On my 3" headerback

I think that my 297 flywheel hp at <8 psi is still quite good..

 

IME the HFC only robs a small amount of power compared to a decat.

 

anyone know if im correct? i need to replace my manifold gasket. i assume it OEM manifold gasket?
