Im a tuning noob, help

By Rice Free
- Fri Apr 16, 2010 8:23 pm #188242 Hey all. First let me give you my setup: b16a, AEM cold air, obx intake mani, Skunk2 cams, DC header, MSD Blaster, with a p72 ecu.


What are my options with the P72?

How much more power might I be seeing after a good tune with this setup? Hondata, Crome, Neptune, etc, what's my best bet on a budget? And how much could I plan on spending all said and done?

Also, Im planning on doing a small turbo on this car at some point in the future.. does that change what I should do with tuning now? I'd like to be able to put a tune on it now, then just re-tune once I turbo. Thanks for any and all input :thumb:

Check with your local dyno tuner and see what kind of software they work with. Often times tuners will prefer one, for example Hondata over Crome will cost you more up front for the software, but you might save a couple hrs on tuning so you'll earn it back.

Since you're on a budget, AEM is probably not an option for you, but look into eCtune as well.

with crome pro you can add tools for boost, and datalog, you can datalog with a pc using hondata if you buy the s300, most tuning shops own all the software's needed. so do whatever fits your budget, :hehe:
