Wow, super defensive of people asking what your AFR is? Yes, there are plenty of tuners out there that will tune people's car to the edge of what is an acceptable AFR and the first time you do a long highway pull or get some bad gas, engine go boom.Curious. By your question/comment..do you think they'd be stupid and tune it dangerously?
I'm not sure what's up with people on this site with these comments, lead on question, etc.
The place I went to has been doing this for a while. Did you think a tuner near you was the one and only and any other couldn't possibly know how to tune?
Just blows my mind...I left most of the Facebook groups because of stuff like this...looks like I need to venture off else where lol...

Ever heard the saying "you can run rich many times, but lean only once"? That's even more true on boosted engines. Back in the day, with less sophisticated ECUs, we would look for 10:1 or even 9:1 under full boost.
These guys are just trying to help you out......trust, but verify.
I left the facebook group with “Aston Martin” as the admin. As soon as someone said something he disagreed, him and his minions will jump on them from what I saw.Curious. By your question/comment..do you think they'd be stupid and tune it dangerously?

nice numbers. I am still anti bov as you know but your car, your money.Curious. By your question/comment..do you think they'd be stupid and tune it dangerously?

thats because he’s a cancerous moron who doesn’t know what he’s talking about and just fronts to get more “partners” to pay him to promote products.I left the facebook group with “Aston Martin” as the admin.

So you were that person. LOL. He gave me crap and tried to bully me when I originally said that it was likely that the badge numbers were correlated with model year. That didn't end up with any repercussions to me (I somehow got him to half agree with me). He banned me for a week after I told someone to be on the safe side and use a steering wheel puller instead of using the hit-your-steering-wheel-repeatedly-with-a-mallet method that he shows on his tutorials. I did claim that using his method could result in damage to the steering column and it was better to play it safe since pullers are free to borrow if you live near any car parts place.thats because he’s a cancerous moron who doesn’t know what he’s talking about and just fronts to get more “partners” to pay him to promote products.
He banned and blocked me because I questioned his verbiage of “9-way adjustable” sway bar. ?
Anyhow - Good to hear your results with a proper tune @02SilverSiHB, sounds like your AFR’s are proper, I wouldn’t worry too much.
You are telling me things I already know. I just want to see the logs. I didn't ask for a technical explanation. Although I appreciate that you would take the time to explain it to someone that doesn't know.You will always run rich, there’s no fixing it unless you use a standalone ECU. But to waste that type of money just to run a BOV is kinda extreme lol. These civics run a By pass valve meaning it reroutes the excess boost into the intake for it to be eventually used. By removing that and having boost vent to atmosphere (what a BOV does) then the ECU doesn’t know that the excess boost was vented into the atmosphere. It still thinks that air is in the system of the car so it tells the injectors to throw the proper fuel mix needed for the air that was supposed to be there (but it’s not anymore since it vented out) making you run with more fuel than air. Because the stock ECU is always programmed to run with a by pass valve it will always be an issue. That’s why a stand-alone ECU, which is an aftermarket ECU, is needed because that can be programmed to know you are running a BOV set up and not a BPV set up anymore
Lmao. What datalog would you want to see. I would only screen capture a graph and that's it. The tuner doesn't want his stuff stolen. Believe me or not..don't care really.I just want him to post data logs showing us there isn't a problem and no issues as he claims...
If you already know, then you know the answer.You are telling me things I already know. I just want to see the logs. I didn't ask for a technical explanation. Although I appreciate that you would take the time to explain it to someone that doesn't know.

I'll do a datalog of both WOT and normal driving...and just post a few screen shots.@02SilverSiHB maybe what @BlackCTR is trying say is that he just wants to see a datalog on normal driving and WOT on the street? I might be wrong
lmk how it goes cuz i think ppl want to see the AFR between shifts. I have the honda hack on my screen and notice that my afr is in the 12’s on WOT normal driving inbetween shifts it would dip to 13’s but i havent done a datalogI'll do a datalog of both WOT and normal driving...and just post a few screen shots.
I can only do that because I had promised not to share the actual datalog itself per the turner's request. I'll go do one in a moment
By all means if something starts to go wrong I would post about instantly. I wouldn't ever try to hide something if it's not doing good...as I wouldn't want anyone to have to go through the same experience.
I was against the BOV, but found it used for cheap and wanted to get my own perspective of it.
