[Silvia97]

Hey everyone I am doing a full build on my ka24de well I am going all out with her .20 over, 8:1 compression, ams fuel kit, rods, lighten crank and rebalanced, brain cams, valves .5mm intake, .7mm exhaust, springs and retainers, wolf cam gears, injen cold air, walbro 255, isis crank pulley, yeah I am going all out no ? about it can't wait right , But there is one issue my ecu I don't know where to go to have a fully tuned ecu my car is a 97 and nistune dose not offer anything for 97 only 95 and lower. I want to be able to use my laptop and tune it as i go as well could anyone give me help on this please I am going out my mind. .

Also Is there in anyone on these forms that live around Indiana, Elkhart that would be willing to get together? I need to find people around my area with 240's all these Honda's around here are killing me(sorry if you like Honda) but its true I need to find 240 owners to hang and cruse with.

Thanks and hope you all have a happy New Years.

Wow I want to see this build. You should make a build thread when you start doing this. Seriously.

As for tuning. Look up Power FC. Pretty sure you'll find what your looking for. You could also look into AEM tuning software and megasquirt. Power FC is what I'd look into.

I'm from TN btw. haha. I wish I knew more 240 owners around here myself.

Thanks man yeah I am going to do a thread of ever thing I am doing down to the amount I payed doing it all as well. right now due to Christmas and new years I am having to wait on a lot of my parts to come in. I just got my valve cover back from been powder coated and I am still waiting on my block to be done after 2 weeks to be dipped and bored. Then I am going to send my crank out but as soon as i get more of my car back then i will start a thread cuz all that i have received out of spending 3,000 are my crank bearings and my valve cover lol what is going on lol.

What part of TN you from I am from Manchester then moved to IN.

There are a few harnesses somewhere that attach to your harness so it lets you run an OBD1 S13 ECU, not sure where to look though.

Good luck with your build... Might I recommend forced induction... NA KAs really don't make much power.

[Silvia97]

Thanks guys. Yeah I am going to run a turbo i am doing my build based on a turbo set up just lacking the turbo at the time. I want to find a ball bearing turbo to run. Not really into anything other then a ball bearing.

Chattanooga. Not too far from manchester. Not a stones throw either lol I love these mountains.

[Silvia97]

Right on man a cuz that lives in Chattanooga they just bought a farm. Yeah man when ever I visit my fam the best part about it is driving the mountains. There is just something about it I wish I could move back but w.e I try to visit as much as I can.

the only reason they only tune a 95, its b/c the 96 n up are obd2 so they arent tunable, u can use a 95 ecu n get it tuned they have the same plug.. or like razi said u can get a s13 ecu, tune it, n then u have to buy the harness to make it work(120 extra) or just get the diagrams for the ecus n do it your self, but it a pain in the butt...

[OutToWinPAHC]

lol, ODB2 offer more mapping tables, and they can tune. Just gotta get it to the right person to tune it. If you do emmisions in your state then you cannot really do stand alone.... (Unless you know tricks). Check with local known tuners.

man, i tough u coulnt tuned an oem obd2 ecu, atleast thats what i read on the nico site, couple of years back when i had my kat. or did i get crapped on.... i had to use an s13 ecu than switch to a 95 cause of s*** tunes..(emance to ethalpy)..

or can u buy aN aftermarket obd2 ecu pretuned?.. hell im confused now..

[Silvia97]

I read that you couldn't tune an obd2 ecu ether. I even emailed nistune and they told me that you can't. now it could be that they wanted to say that so I just buy there product but I am going more for a standalone now. I don't have any emissions I have to worry with so I pulled just about everything and cleaned that up. So I am thinking about the power fc its pricey but the information i have found on it sounds to me that its worth the money.
