h22 help.

[f22a1accord]

ok so im running a jdm h22a in my cb7. its stock except a skunk2 intake mani and tb. my problem is with running the skunk2 intake mani is it deletes the egr. im thinking of gettin a hondata s300 and the p28 to tune it, but i really dont wanna take it back to the place i had my motor put in. so how hard would it b to wire it up and tune it myself? thanks in advance

What? The S2 mani comes with a mount just for the egr to keep it plugged in. You don't need hondata just for that.

You cant just tune it yourself..Take it to a pro.

You CAN tune it yourself... but you have to learn quite a bit, and get your hands on some fairly expensive tools to do it right. Check out the ECU Tuning subforum in the Performance section.

It's pretty complicated, but it's a good thing to learn.

Why don't you find another shop? How hard could that be? What's wrong with the shop you went to previously? Check out the Mid-Atlantic section and ask around for good places to go. You don't need S300. S100 will be fine, then get it tuned at an authorized dealer.

You don't need overpriced Hondata at all. Hell, even a free version of Uberdata or Crome would be enough for a basic tune.

well the pro's i kno suck dick and charge 100 bucks an hour. and yes i have the block off plate, i have to hard wire the egr to the ecu pins bc the plug is no where to b found. the re-re's at monster tried tellin me if i hard wire it in the there is a chance of cooking my ecu so i havnt tried it yet. kinda wanted to get yalls opinion on it.

im not too big of a fan of chrome tho. if im gunna build on this h is dont really wanna go with cheap product. the reason i kinda want the s300 is bc it is the most up to date and i plan on building the head and throwing some cams in down the road!

will do. i would love to tune this thing myself

Crome, not chrome...
Honestly, for a street tune, they ALL offer whatever you need. Hondata is actually pretty crappy for the high price they charge. There are better things out there, some that cost less.

Tuning can be complicated. The basics aren't terribly difficult to grasp, and messing with a mild N/A motor is the best way to learn... as it's much safer messing with a low-compression, naturally aspirated motor instead of turbo or high compression applications.
I'm still learning myself. Once my car is back on the road, I plan on diving into it a bit deeper. I have most of the tools I need.

[f22a1accord]

well im gunna have to open my search a lil bit, and see what i can find! tahnks for the helpp

[Joey GT-R]

That's actually not too bad. Even better if you can find a shop that tune's at a flat rate of maybe $325 or so. If your car doesn't have too many mods it shouldn't take longer than 2.5 hrs with a good tuner.

p28 does not support egr. problem solved.

crome

I don't know why you are anti crome, if you want s300 or anything else later then buy it. If you run crome now you loose absolutely no money. It is free...

I do not want to discourage you from tuning yourself, but I feel that if you are not comfortable removing and installing an engine, then tuning may not be an easy step to take.

Just curious as to why the pro tunes you know suck?

As for frying your ecumenical by wiring up Egr... um it is hard to fry an ecu, and for you to do that would require some very special handiwork.

If you know how to wire up an Egr bypass go ahead and do it, with the battery disconnected of course.

Good luck, I think a few people here could help you with tuning if you went the DIY rout.

100 per hour is cheap. Very cheap. Go stand alone and you're done. Lol. But I have seen Crome, neptunes do really good work that hondata also does. But not very many people go neptunes anymore.
