greddy turbo kit tuning

[Jackinthebox3181]

Hey everyone. Ive been researching various turbo kits, and have decided on getting the greddy turbo kit. Just wondering what sort of tuning is needed from this kit compared to others. I have heard that there are less issues with this kit tuning wise compared to others, is this true? Plan on running 6-7 lbs of boost. Thanks

Any turbo has to be tuned on a dyno, kit or not, at least if you want it to run right. I would imagine they would require just as much tuning as any other turbo.

is there any other way to tune a turbo?

the greddy kit(96-00) comes with emanage and 310cc injectors, its a bolt on kit, made specifically for your car. you dont exactly need to tune it. if you want, you can buy greddy's "support tool" which allows you to fully tune the emanage settings

[94PreludeJDM]

It doesn't really matter if it's a bolt on kit, every car is different. The emanage system doesn't know what other kind of mods are on the car, the compression of the engine, and other things like that. To make a turbo set up as effecient and safe as possible, you need to have it dyno tuned.

you need something to tune it with. ex. larger injectors with some kind of controlling unit (hondata, uberdata, afc, etcetcetc).

prettymuch at low boost levels you can tune for A/F ratio... and just tune it on the street... running it rich to start, and slowly decrease fuel until you are making decent power, and are still in the green on your A/F guage.. don't necessarily need to dyno it, but dyno tuning is recommended.

If you are OBD1 (92-95) or OBD2 (96+), Uberdata is the way to go. Sell the emanage and the 310 injectors.

Get an ECU (or use the stocker if you are OBD1) and conversion harness (if OBD2), chip it and buy DSM 450cc injectors...you'll be golden.

First off, I wouldn't give this advice to someone who's just started out in the boosting world. Tuning your own ECU is not easy - a lot of time must be spent learning how to read the fuel and ignition tables. If you make a big mistake tuning your ECU, you can blow your motor. The E-Manage is a good form of fuel management and is a LOT easier to tune than Uberdata, Chrome, and others like it. Who wants to pull their chip out between dyno runs? OR you'd have to pull the chip out and take it home between runs. If you're not going to do it yourself, you'll have to find someone who can/is willing to tune it for you.
Uberdata and other chipping software is not for beginners. As for the injectors, don't take his advice - DSM 450s are for low-buck fuel management and were not made for Hondas. Yes, they work but you can tell the difference in acceleration and idle. The RC's are PERFECT for your car and function the same way as the stock ones. Don't get rid of them just to buy some used DSMs.

DSM injectors are low buck, but, will however do the job. if you want to go uberdata, go search along their support forums or homemadeturbo.com. read the threads and faqs and ask around. do a google search for the info. theres tons of info. talk with members. if you dont want to waqte your time trying to tune on your own, then, thats why hondata created the S100.

Yeah, I said that already.

Please tell me how tuning a S100 or any other Hondata chip is different than an Uberdata. If you mean that it's more popular, easier to tune and that there are more tuners around, then you are correct.
