OK anyone know how tune a B16A (Si-R) without a turbo. Remember i wanna keep the ride street legal in conjuction with Dubai road rules.

It already has an air intake, upgraded Exhaust (Type-R), Ecu chipped and tuned......so what's next?'

you say its chipped and tuned? so are you looking for a retune?

if you are looking for future mods it should be a b18c5 swap and/or :- /camshafts/cam gears/valves/retainers/pistons/connecting rods/ P&P/ Vtec controller/ type r brakes etc.etc...

I dont know how to tune a B16A, but i can advice you on making your car a bit quicker than it is ... in conjuntion with Dubai road rules you cannot modify anything in a car - so you will have to scrap that idea of obeying the road rules

intake and EK9 exhaust are a good start but why did you spend your $$$ on tuning+chipping for just a I/H upgrade. i suggest you a set of cams and P73 pistons to bump your compression up a bit. Now the trouble you will fall is, you have to pay 'again' to get a re-tune after installing the pistons and cams. Next time think a bit further before spending your hard earned $$$ (unless its your dad's $$$

).

Cam : choice is yours, how hardcore you want to go ... im running skunk2 stage 1 cams on my EK, very street friendly cams. Stage 2 and 3 is also available - its all your choice.

Pistons : stick with P73's ... they are safe. If you are not worried about disasters and you have a good tuner in hand ---> go PCT

After all this, you need power with control .... so as Rashood said above, you need to change your suspension and upgrade your brakes and LSD is a must too.

I've got a d16y7 engine as well and you can turbocharge it, supercharge it, custom tune it (hondata, crome, uberdata, etc...), cam it (although there is not too much power from a single cam engine with low compression).

Thread starter. I would recommend an upgrade in camshafts, higher compression pistons, intake manifold, with a high flowing header and exhaust system and a full re-tune.

I hope that helps

Ok once again albertho555 has proven that he is the ultimate in tuner knowledge......

Sorry guys ...it would be a "tuned ECU"...lol

Got it done at LAP 57!!!

the VTECH Kicks in at 4000RPM!!

Anyways ....guess cam and piston upgrades is what i'm looking at....so i gotta save up and it's not "dad's cash"...lol

By the way Albertho do u own a red civic EK and live in Al Riqqa?

thnx elite ....
does an ECU chip make a D series or whtever engine for tht matter go faster ? could this same ECU chip be used and retuned in the future if i ever need to change my engine /? to a B series ?

Eleanor, a tuned ecu will make you a 'bit' quicker .. but i suggest, invest in in after doing yourself some upgrades (intake, exhaust, headers, cams) ... if not, your gains wont be noticable.

Dlock, in ghusais ... close to where the SiR boys hang out

Red EK is mine, im sure you have seen it at Lap57 along with my Tegra. Its there these days for a tranny rebuild.
