Missed your videos man glad youre back
Dude you are awesome, I like how you are always informative on the steps that you have taken on every little change
take your time man, projects shouldn't be rushed
Super informative ! Honestly asking questions sometimes in the tuning world you get a lot of shit vibes when u don’t know something , we’re all cad enthusiasts and always learning , hope you do more comparison videos like this ! Keep it up!
It's been so long I wondered if you were stopping doing youtube videos, glad to see you are back! I hope the AWD RSX can make a track appearance on Speed Academy's channel.
Yes. Too long. Definitely not stopping. I’ll be putting out a bunch more videos this year
So beautiful
Good to have you back. More great info!
Canadian boy...Great work on the video homes...in BC looking for a 2006 tsx type r
Interesting battery placement. How would you get a jump or replace the battery? Would you have to remove your front bumper? I would assume taking weight off of the front of the engine would be best.
Hello nick I have a quick question. The RDX injectors calibration works for a 9th Honda Civic SI??
Hi nick, does your ktuned dbw tb have delay or jerking on half throttle ?
Hey Nick what's up, what u think about the Grams 72mm throttle body for the 06 Acura Tsx?
Ok but what about the two metal coolant elbows from the stock throttle body. Where did they go?
For the 8th gen what header would you recommend skunk 2 alpha invidia header or ktune header ??
Question:
What device do you use for throttle body relearn?
And how much for it?
Is this, the J37 or the ZDX throttle bodies worth it on a 9th gen SI? Heard they'll mess with the idling and it's not good for the car??
civic si 8th generation k-tuned tuning tuned
i have fn2 typer turbo with k20z4 engine .what intake manifold and throttle body combo is good the DBW throttle many say they have problems....i dont know what i can do ...tx alot
10:30 One question, i have that same TB 72mm in a FG2 i see two hoses under the red valve cover filter breathed , one hose is conect to the RBC before the TB the other hose is open, there is no problem that hose is open?
Help!!!
Getting a J37 TB w RBC port match and RDX injectors. Already have FBO. If i just change the fuel calibration to 410c on hondata will i be ok driving it straight to tuner without a throttle relearn?
on the ktuned 72mm tb how did u go about with the fittings bc i see on the stock has 3 hose/fittings an the ktuned has one
I had bad luck with that Ktuned 72mm tb in my car, I have a car like that FG2 and that tb does not work well,
that tb closes every time it passes 2,500 rev and it is a problem to go out at the traffic lights...
What you guys need is a hood fed intercooler to combat the turbo lag.
Why haven't anyone done it yet?
Wtf?
I have the same Civic Si, but in Black. I have a Yonaka Catback, Cold Air Intake, and a Hondata Reflash to get rid of the Rev Hang. It runs great but I want to either add an Intake Manifold or a Header. They’re both around the same price these days, can anyone recommend one over the other?
So all these set ups would work with an rsx type s as well?
Can you do a throttle body spacer
I'm guessing 243hp on stock timing 😎
What if you did a relearn and it still throws up a p2101 code?
Hey nick just a question, where did you end up rerouting the coolant and the other vacuum line beside the one on the rbc manifold?
I looped the throttle body coolant lines and plugged the purge lines
I miss my rsx -s so much, 17 years, then I sold it, like an idiot.
I think they will he very collectable soon
Nick you gotta make a video of how to get 2 step with flames with hondata flashpro on a 9th civic si. No videos out there never been done
Correct me if im wrong I dont think you can 2steps with flames on the 8th gens or the 9th gens
@@chhantheman9553 not sure I’m not a tuner
Nick! Few questions. I heard you shouldn’t just change voltages like that and you should stick with factory voltage. True or false?
Also I been tuning my 8th gen r18 on maf and in cold weather I have stft dialed in. So long term is like +/- 1%
Recently with warm weather I see -5% LTFT. Is this normal. Someone told me with hot weather it will adding fuel not subtracting it. Lmk what your opinions are. Thank you!!!
Changing the voltage break points is totally fine as long as its done properly and you are also changing the deadtimes - Personally i think its best to have a breakpoint at 14v because a properly running car spends most of its life running at basically 14v.
Your -5% ST is working properly - A very simple way to put it is - as weather gets warmer the air is not as dense, therefore the engine does not need as much fuel, which presents as running a bit richer therefore ECU pulls -5% trim
@@tuningbynick thank you! What would be the optimal temp to tune the fuel trims too? In your opinion does having fuel trims closer to zero give you more throttle response and smoother driving? Or is that just in my head.
In theory, optimal weather temp for tuning would be the temp that you do the most amount of driving in. In practice - In my opinion, having the ECU pull -5% from the tune is better then adding +5% - But realistically, you cant feel 5% - What you would more likely be feeling is the change in seasons - Simply put - Cars perform better in cooler weather
@@tuningbynick thanks. So if air density changes I would assume Afr in wot would change on a tune in hot vs cold weather correct. So if you tune 12.5 afr cold that would run richer in the hot correct. ?
In a perfect world it would stay the same. But yes, there are a lot of other variables that affect things in the real so yes, as weather warms up you will see richer AFs compared to what you see in colder weather
Where the tune differences??
Hey nick, just a quick question is it really necessary to port your rbc to go with the 72mm tb?
Technically you don’t have to. It will still bolt up. But you wont get the benefits if the RBC isn’t port matched.
Yes, otherwise your TB is effectively the size of the plenum opening. No point in putting a larger TB if the plenum opening remains stock.
Been a while
It has. Im back to it tho. I have a bunch of videos that’ll be putting out over the next week or so
how did you port it? did you machine it or go at it with a drill? I need to install mine i just dont know how to port match it and id rather not have to take it to a machine shop.
Just get a die grinder with a carbide bit
@@tigerrider6711 yea the rbc is back in, time for a tune!
Can u please port the manifold I been dying to see those results!!!
I have tuned many ported RBC manifolds at this power level and i dont think it would make any difference on this car at this power level.
When is the EG content coming?
I have to finish a few projects first. I want to do an intro with it soon tho.
Did you have a idle surge with this TB I just installed it on my 9th Gen and at idle it surges to 2k and drops back down to around 1k
Did u fix it?
Check if you dont have a vacuum leak...
I've had the exact same problem om my k20A swapped '05 em2...
Fiddled with the TB stop, idle settings in doctronic, bunch of other things...
Than finally i sprayed brake cleaner all over my intakemanifold/tb, and all of a sudden the revs changed.
So i removed the TB (70mm Tegiwa), and there was a pinsized hole in the TB gasket to the manifold!
You couldn't even see it with the naked eye, i happend to see it while i was pulling and twisting the gasket, that the hole became a bit bigger and i could see it.
Changed the gasket, now revs fine at 1100 rpm (it's a fully built N/A high comp engine, 274 WHP) , and doesnt surge anymore either ...
Is yours idling steady, or is it surging on decel?
Why you are installed 72mm? Stock tb is good up to 400hp. I have on my k20/k24 rsx 70mm tb and i compared it with stock tb. Virtual dyno show nothing changes. Logs says nothing changed too.
Dyno results show a difference - The dyno results video will be posted tomorrow
4piston will begin to provide a stock TB on their super99 setup LOL
@@tuningbynick do you recommend getting the ktuned throttle?
You should always de-pin and change the connector properly. Failing that soldering would be the only other acceptable solution. Butt connectors don't belong anywhere on a car.
These are properly crimped with a crimping tool. Basically every wire to terminal connection on the car comes from the factory as a crimp. These connections are as good as any of the oem connections and will 100% stand the test of time.
@@tuningbynick I wouldn't want that on my car. There's the right way and then there are shortcuts. You should get some of those joiners with the solder already in them so a heat gun is all that's needed.
All I’m going to say is I disagree and that I have zero interest in arguing with you. Everyone is entitled to an opinion. Thanks for sharing yours.
The back wheel looks way off like to far up
k20----230hp...
