8th Gen / RSX updates and K-Tuned 72mm Throttle Body Install 

Yes. Too long. Definitely not stopping. I’ll be putting out a bunch more videos this year

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

I think they will he very collectable soon

I looped the throttle body coolant lines and plugged the purge lines

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.

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

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.

It has. Im back to it tho. I have a bunch of videos that’ll be putting out over the next week or so

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?

I have to finish a few projects first. I want to do an intro with it soon tho.

Just get a die grinder with a carbide bit

@@tigerrider6711 yea the rbc is back in, time for a tune!

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.

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?
