uberdata tune + street tune , good enough ?

hey guys im getting my turbo installed in 2 weeks, the guys gave me a couple options for tuneing.

  1. Hondata : change over - $600 + $50 /hr for 3 hours street tuneing. 2-3 hours dyno tune $100/hr

  2. Uberdata : change over - $75 + $50 /hr for 3 hours street tunening. 2-3 hours dyno tune $100/hr

the guy said if i dont have 300-400 $ for dyno tuning to do it later but get the street tune and ecu chipped.

so i decided to go with Uberdata for $75 and 3 hours street tuning.

what do you guys think ?

the only reason u need a dyno for tuning is if ur making soo much power that u have no traction on the street to get ur a/f’s proprer.
get it street tuned get good a/fs and ull be good then dyno it after and see how much power u made

sweet deal bro, saved me another 300-400 $ that wouldnt have been necessary :stuck_out_tongue: , the guys im going to are called " Image in motion " there in maple ridge, do you have any suggestions on other places to get it installed / tuned ?

currently im looking at, $400 - $600 for installation, $100-150 for tuneing.

you could always chip a spare ecu and install it yourself. :shrug:

install yourself man, 600 bucks just to have someone install. rediculous. all you need to know is how to remove your header, oil pan and crossmember. Thats the hardest it gets other than making your intercooler piping. seriously do it yourself because what if something happens to something on your setup, you wont have a clue what to do because you have no experience on how to locate the problem on your kit. Do it and learn, best thing is to have a buddy help you that knows about cars.

ya ive bought some shit from IIM but i dont think they are as knowledgeable on force induced Hondas as dcpturbo is. give dcpturbo (andrey) a call at 604-765-1121 ask him about how much install and tuning would be. there tuning mine on saturday :slight_smile:

Why do you need to remove the crossmember? Isnt the steering rack bolted to it?

you need to remove the bar to get the oil pan off so you can make a bung for the oil drain.

Alright ill give them a call, see what they can do it for. the guys at IIM seem pretty sure its going to cost me $900-1000 once its all installed and tuned, i think thats rediculous just for an install. unfortunately i dont know anyone who can install a turbo kit

you dont need to remove the crossmember to take off the oil pan…flywheel cover needs to come off i think

If I did it myself it would prob take too long, Id only have a weekend to do it so, Id rather have someone else install it in a couple hours.

Also for the tune since its a 91 0bd0 , i cant get tuned with uber data correct? has to be turbo edit ?

can your stock ECU be chipped or do you ahve to buy a whole new one? the guys at iim said they can chip my reg ECU for uberdata for 75$ but i dont think thats accurate unless im the dumb one lol

you can convert it to obd1 using a 100 dollar harness. i recommend it.

oh yea, DYNO TUNE!!!

ive been using uberdata for the past 2 years, street tuned numerous cars
my last one already had a real good a/f ratio going into the dyno. i started with 282/209 and left with 318/241. took 3 hours but i did a lot of bs’ing too. it coulda been done in 2 hours easy. its very very hard to accurately and safely tune timing on the street without a torque curve to look at. the dyno made it 10000x easier and my results were much better
