With motec you'll be able to run more boost apples to apples - I'm stuck around 32.5 because of the stock ecu for the most part - I've seen motec guys run 35psi pretty easily on the same turbo setups many use (Garrett) so 2.5psi more should yield an easy 20 to 30whp all else being equal.Sweet. Haha. I am wondering if i should change motec ecu first before doing a much bigger built motor with tr3 with all the goodies in it.
presume motec will allow 10 to 20 more whp across the range?
Tr3s are a bit more of a top end cam so you lose a bit of the snapiness of the tr2 around town. The engine becomes more of a top end race engine feel - softer down low but stronger up top.
On hondata TR3s can be a pit of a pain to dial in - not impossible - just more intensive with proper tune.
This makes the TR2 the easy choice for street setups on hondata - easy to tune and maintains more street friendly response in daily driving/lower engine speeds.
They make a TR4 as well once you go motec lol. I'm sure those would pull harder up top if you're chasing top end.
The fuel pump controls are also faster/better on motec as the processing power is much stronger. Stock ecu sort of fights you whereas the motec does exactly what you want, when you want. For $7k it better
With the recently run 682whp on TR2s with the g30-770 on stock bottom end ......it becomes a matter of goals really. That setup with a built bottom could probably make 720ish maybe 730ish with a little more boost on motec. On tr3s maybe 750ish? Probably switch to a g30-900 for that level.
Basically if a hondta setup could get you to 720whp - would you want to spend the extra 7k for motec to take you higher? That's where John is - made 842whp on a g35-1050 - but - misses his g30-900 at 762whp which he did on hondata (+direct port meth injection)
I've gone over this myself - what are you building - a fun street car or a focused race car. If it's a race car, motec has amazing safeties - if it's street car.....720-750whp on hondata is probably enough .....your call/money
