I'd love to see a turboed one though. I saw one with a pro charger and I think he got like 240hp out of it which in a car that light is plenty
yeah, I had 2 acura RSX-s. bhp in those is 200hp, and at the time (2002 & 2006), they were fun little cars.

Yes, headers will be on. I just need to move back to school so that Houston isn't so far away

As I understand, you log onto the ipf database and they have a list of tunes on there. Some being FI, others being bolt ons. You pick the one that best suits you and upload it to the car. If that works good, if not then he try's to create another tune to dial in your car better

I gotcha, I personally like to talk to Arno just to see what's the best tune to get and go from there.

Also heard some people taking off their ice-o-laters off after supercharging? for some it's caused problems

Yea, I think some people had problems getting their tune dialed in with it and just decided to get rid of the iceolator. It's not like the extra 5 peak hp matter when you have a sc. I would've done the same. Don't think it's necessary and Arno can get it dialed in with it but if it was giving problems I'd take it off too.

If you decide to take it off, let me know. I want to do some testing with one

Good to know, would you be interested in the plenum spacer as well?

So the tune (without SC or turbo) is not only to erase the cell when you get headers or more air induction? I have trifecta, I can send the data and they can send me a tune to get better response from the car?

I'm not completely understanding what you're saying. You're free to post in Spanish if you'd like. Are you asking if the ipf tune isn't only to remove the cel that you get with headers?

Exactly... on my understanding cars without SC get the tune to take off the computer speed restrictions and when you install something that gives you a cell, to clear it... only auto cars can get extra features with the tune...
