Help with getting the right calibration

[EFICU]

Both datalogs look great, neither have any knock which is great. Go ahead and make another datalog when you have time or need to go somewhere. We'll make sure it's good over a few days before we call it good to go. With gas prices though, no need to run out and make random datalogs, just datalog when you go somewhere and we'll see how it looks.

did a log this morning on my way to work! car feels good for sure!

[EFICU]

Looks great again! Go ahead and datalog another drive later this week sometime, if that looks as good, I think we're good to go for now.

[Tigerfrati]

Sounds good! Might be able to get one tomorrow so we’ll see! Thanks again for all the help!!

[EFICU]

Good deal. We'll see how it looks. You're welcome.

[Tigerfrati]

hopefully everything looks good! literally in love with this car right now... trying to not jump the gun on the headers right now lol also is it bad to try to get some more pops with the cat still? I know the pops aren't really the greatest for the car but on some down shifts the car pops and it really do be sounding good sometimes.... just dont wanna hurt the car just to hear pops and bangs lol

Yeah it looks great again. We had a couple knock on a second gear pull, but I think they were a fluke or false knock. Go ahead and make another datalog when you can, add a second gear pull like you're been doing on your third gear pulls. I want to make sure there isn't a common occurrence, or maybe some type of resonance on a second gear pull.

The header does make a massive difference, and it's easily the biggest bang for the buck. Once you have the header and a proper tune, the car becomes really fun to drive and a little more of a handful in first gear. You already have the best intake on the market IMO, so you have the right parts in place so far. All the 3.5" intakes are great to be honest, the Skunk, HR, and K-Tuned variants are all great. It's just a matter of what you want in looks and design.

No there isn't anything you would want to do in order to get more pops. With the stock cat, there is too much back pressure for and you can damage both the engine and the cat according to some sources. I stray away from that stuff in general, but if someone wants them with the proper exhaust setup I can do it for them. The nice thing with Hondata, they limit how much negative ignition can be applied to make the pops, where other tuning platforms allow a lot of negative ignition which can certainly damage the engine over time.

Sounds good! Going for a little drive tonight so I’ll get a log of the 2nd gear pull and I’ll do it a couple times to see!

And I thought so with all the things I’ve been reading and seeing! But if I had the proper set up I could have some pops without affecting anything?? I know it’s not good for the engine in general and never really wanted them till recently when I down shift. I definitely don’t want it going off like crazy but just a couple here and there!

Yeah you can even do some fourth gear pulls from 3000-7000 to check for knock too. Fourth gear all out pulls get speed going too high for the street, so if you pull up at 7000 it keeps you in single digit speeds, in MPH anyways. Just be safe.

For crackle tuning, you actually have to feather the throttle slightly to engage the popping, so it won't do it all the time. You have to give it just a little bit of throttle on decel so the injectors stay on which initiates the popping. If you were to decel with your foot entirely off the throttle, it will not do pops on decel. So that is a nice thing, you can sort of do it for fun once in a while, then not do it the other 99% of the time. There is nothing good about it for your engine, as to how bad it is, I'm not sure anyways has found out just yet how long term use impacts the engine.

it's been raining a lot lately, so I haven't done much driving! both logs where from the middle of the week!

[EFICU]

No problem, yeah it looks like that same area is a little sensitive so I made some adjustments. Go ahead and make another datalog when you can just like those, with a few random pulls including those fourth gear 3000-7000 pulls. The fuel stuff looks great, so still just chasing the knock now.

[Tigerfrati]

here are the logs from the new tune!

[EFICU]

Those ones looked really good, no knock and all the fuel looks good. Go ahead and make some similar datalogs to those when you have some time, if they look just as good, I think we're there for now.

Hi so I just recently bought a 2008 Honda Civic SI and had some mods done and wondered if I can get some help tuning it if possible, new to this and want it to be correct thanks in advance

[Jordan8thgen]

Yeah if you want to tune it for the HR intake it's very simple. Are you planning to add a header in the near future, or is it going to be the HR intake and exhaust for a long period of time? There is a long woute and a short route to tuning these, so depending on your future plans we can discuss the best option.

Hello my name is Jordan stouffer I need help with tuning and I can cash app or Venmo u for helping me out I desperately could use it. My number is 7079205373 if you could shoot me a text or call that would be great. Never use da forum before just signed up to contact you I have seen you on many forums
