Boostin the EM1 Finally (Blare's Thread)

[Import_Girl]

word... thats hot, im personally not a big boost fan, but its a def. upgrade... ummm as for the foggies you're gonna have to shave the whole inside of the bumper, lincense plate bracket, the lip , everything, then your gonna have to cut the fog light bracket, not the ones that hold the fog light but if the bumper is off and you look alll the way to the right cut those 2 brackets, ---- you should be straight, atleast thats how i did my friends bumper to keep the foglights w/ the intercooler

well im pretty pist off right now, the shop that promised me they had a tuner obviously doesnt now.. so now im sitting with a boosted car with no tuner. I can get it semi tuned with hondata by a friend but i want it dyno tuned.

How much is it costing to get it tuned?

 

[blare]

like around 300-500.00, the closest dyno tune for hondata is like 9 hrs away

how did you get the fog light garnish to stay on the front bumper?

 

[kangaroo]

update us on your dyno #...

 

[blare]

The fog light bezel piece doesnt hit the pippin at all. Just the big ass bracket to hold the light in does

grats on the install. I have a turbo kit waiting to go on my Em1 but I am too lazy. keep us posted on the dyno numbers

 

[blare]

nice car bro! cant wait for the numbers and the vid, but im thinkin 300 is a little high, how much are boosting?

 

[blare]

the shop im going to made it happen before on my exact setup..so im hoping. no more then 12 psi

 

[brookliner7]

nice setup, I am running a greddy kit as well.
My friend and I did the install too so props on the work!

base map should be fine, for the most part, it should make the car run a rich afr when it sees boost...just don't boost excessively.

remember, every 1 psi equals approx. about 10hp.
so....130whp B16A2 with an extra 120hp gives about 250 whp. give or take 15% of course.
But in either case, 300whp or mid-low 200+ish whp is a lot of fun!
good luck!
