Paul, I love you!! I can't describe how happy I was to find that I don't need to go to all the fuss with check valves for the map sensor and extra fuel controllers and manual timing adjustments and so on. I didn't know it was possible to tune the p28 in my del Sol to boost the engine properly, let alone do it yourself. Man, I am so happy you put this tutorial on! I am going to save up money for the turbo quicker from now on and I will use your videos to help me crome tune my Sol! Thanks a lot, keep it up!

brock, I use to own a dyno shop. I ran it for 2 years providing dyno tuning before I sold it to a buddy. Before that, I did street tuning for evos, sti, nissans and honda. My specialty has always been hondas. Anyways, it's not hard to start tuning. You just have to understand some engine theory to understand what its doing when you modify the fuel and timing. Get a base map going so the car can start and run. Next focus on dailing in the part throttle (cruising) fields.

Thanks for this video Paul. I don't have anyone local capable of tuning my setup once it's complete but this will get me started.

I like how you explained it thoroughly. I would like to see more, and maybe if you can elaborate on n/a tunes. Too

very informative. I plan to tune my own car with neptune or hondata soon, but after watching this video, I have TONS of questions before I can move on (and before watching), thank you very much.

Brockxxxxsamsom you are on the right track. Tune low cam first, then high cam. Lay the dyno charts on top of each other. There you see the torque curve intersect, thats about the area where you want the vtec crossover. Your HP curve should look pretty linear (all motor setups that is). I usually start with idle and part throttle tuning on the street to ensure map for daily cruising. Once I"m done with that, then I dyno it doing full throttle only. I use to own a dyno (and shop)

Since I sold my shop, I try to do everything before going to the dyno. Usually I go to the dyno to verify my numbers and hp/torque curves. Tune fuel first, then timing. Most of the time the timing needs to be done on the dyno because you're looking for torque increase. Fuel can be tuned on the street if you have a wideband. I hope this makes sense to you.

You can't in stall crome on a mac. What you can do however is to install a virtual application that can host windows 7, then install crome in windows 7. In my case, I'm using vmware fusion for mac. This gives me the ability to install windows 7 in my mac environment. The other option is to set your mac for dual boot.

damn I'd luv to hang out with this guy. what a knowledgeable dude, gotta luv it

tracerx13 1) You should adjust the CC for your engine. Also note though that it will or may not let your engine run or start. You may still need to tweak the fuel settings to get your car running to the point where the basemap is useable.

Lastly focus on tuning full throttle. I usually start with the fuel and when its good (make no more power on the dyno), then I back off a little and then tune the timing. For timing, I monitor torque to see if advancing timing will make more torque. Hopefully that makes sense.

pretty interesting, also makes me feel better about not trading for cars that are running on basemaps and have not been tuned on a dyno yet. Maybe one day I will decide on a jsrc or turbo setup..

Great video. Perhaps a video covering more advanced features like Battery offset etc in the future

Really cool! I'll leave the tuning to my tuner, but it's cool to see the process.

Good job, nice to know there are other Hmong tuners.

Thank you, this is excellent. I want to tune my own car,I've been researching it for about 1.5 years already, there's a lot out there about engine theory but not much as far as implementing the knowledge. It always ends with "just bring it to a dyno and let someone else tune it." Anyway, here's my question. If i want to tune myself what would be the procedure with a running basemap? Disable vtec, and just work on lo cam fuel and spark, get it running safely and and close to stoich,(rich in

tracerx13, 2) You have to account for overboosting. I usually add a tad bit more fuel on the top columns just in case boost spikes up a bit. Highlight the columns above 8lbs and add in like 5% fuel (this is base on fuel injector size) 3)It will work on other ecus as long as its the same ecu type or family but it wont work for an auto setup.

FYI - my buddy owns a dyno so if you're in the sacramento, ca area, you can rent his.

This vid has been great so far, thank you. I have three questions, 1) Do you need to adjust the CC of the motor if you're not running what the B16 is? 2) If you're only running 7psi do you zero out the higher boost columns? 3) And is this map ok to use if I don't have a P30? I have a P75 A51 in an H23 Auto Turbo Prelude

I have a 240 with a ka runing a t 25 turbo and 375 cc injetor 62mm throttle. Stuck ecu runs it but I'm about to star tuning it on a type 2 data board . Do you know a base start setup the I can star with

Hi Paul I have a d16z6 turbo but on the free version of crome I cannot add boost table, can I open a p30 basemap instead of the p28 and do some changes? If so which one? Thank you for your time

so what are those numbers in each cell? i can see that the 3rd row from the top shows the manifold pressure, but what does each number represent in the colored cells? for fuel map. thanks for any help

Hey Paul this video was 8 years ago but I have an H22a1 swapped civic, I thought everything in the swap was stock but upon research for my turbo build I discovered my ECU is chipped. I want to tune it using crome, and understand the concept, but I have no idea where to find a basemap or how to connect my laptop to the ECU. Should I even attempt to use crome now or buy a new chip and try newer software? Any info is greatly appreciated. Thanks for reading.

would you please make a video for D16Y series motors, all motor and Boosted, and preferably for a non vtec y7

I have a 2000 wrx jdm Spec and am very interested in this video you shared. What software applications support mac? What else would I need besides the software to learn & apply how to tune a turbo engine? You may have already answered some of these so my apologies in advance. Great video tutorial, Thank you

Nice vid! This helps a lot,thanks man

Hey bro is it possible you could make a video for h22 map or send me one. My h22 ek has no power. Vtec kicks in and sounds good. But just has no killer pull!!! P28 ecu chipped.. injectors are on a resistor box. It is and h22a4. No check engine light vtec kicks in runs right in a sense. But no real torque and power. Help me out!!! Thanks in advance

Paul thank you for this video new subscriber here and new to self tuning. I have a lot of questions but I’ll just narrow down to this one first and has to to do with disabling my sensors. If I still have my knock and o2 sensor on my OBD1 b18c1 turbo do I disable it or not.

Thanks itsjussjerry! Hopefully it gave you an insight on the process.

Thanks for the info! Great vid!

Paul, Do you need to remove the chip to burn it every time you change the tune? Or is there a way to make table adjustments on the fly? I am looking at getting an SST reburnable chip installed in an obd1 b18 non-vtec engine. the ecu is only $150 and the chip comes installed. I will probably need some sort of writing too for this as well, but I am not sure if road tuning is an option with this tuning software.

Thanks hatchman!

Paul I made a profile of my crx on your dyno stat website, I would love some personal pointers from you on a couple issues I'm having with crome tuning on my crx.

Great tutorial Paul!!

Just curious..i know the Prelude H22a isnt included in the listed car types on CROME but is it possible to use one of those for that type of vehicle setup? Just asking for me and others looking for free software.

Could you upload a video about how every interface connects on the ecu and pc?

great job man

I set this turbo map up on my LS integra in this fashion. What would help me control the idle on it so that it idles nicer. Right now I have solid mounts and the car viciously rattles and hunts for an idle. I have it with factory settings for idle target. What should I adjust?

ok I'll give that a go. On the other hand Would like to know if u or your buddy still do tuning on sacramento area? I would like to k ow pricing etc if u could let me know. I'm running stock gsr 6 psi jrsc supercharged for my dd.

Hey man hope you doing well

Hi. Thanks for that video. I setting a turbo map. I have few questions. How set air fuel at 14.7 in idle.my wide band read Lean ---. The other is, in vac 0 to to boost the wide band read 11.thats ok?

nice vid bro, thanks

Hi paul i was wondering if you can tell me what the numbers means on the fuel map etc.... and how can u tell when the map is wrong like for exemple when you ad 10percent of fuel how can i tell if its ok or not looking at the map ....thank you

is making a map for a supercharged setup goes the same as for a turbo'd setup?

Hey Paul are you still using Crome Pro? and are you still on 1.5.3? I been wondering why it's a hit and miss for some, but I need to make the lastest 1.6.1.5 work so I can use Tunerview to datalog using gold rom for crome pro. I'm not sure driver issues everyone be having but on 1.5.3 datalog is fine, but the improvement speed datalog is what I'm after.

Great info on tuning. What all features doors crome offer now? I.e. close to hondata?

Thanks Peter.

Great video man, it was helpfull

I have a question about the boost com 6 8 10 12 14 ... I put 8 but what does it do

when i load the map on the chip the car doesnt rev pass 3rpm if the offset wrong can it prevent the chip from working

is it best to use windows xp for crome pro or windows 8 and 10. Because I'm like having Com or driver issue on wins 10 not detecting or actually connection times out when datalogging.

So to my understanding you can boost by gear so why not get to do it all yourself??? I mean it would mean the world or else jus haul it to the tuners and do it all then,...???right???

so when the chart shows blue its lean and red would be rich ?

Hey I don't have the burn chip icon and I have the latest version. Do I need to register to be able to burn a rom to a chip? thanks.

where can i buy all the program and USB wire and the ecu stuff

What chip burner is everyone useimg

Great video hey Paul is can i set the numbers the same for a d16a vtec . 75 retard timing? Increase fuel 10% etc? Thanks in advance for any help

How much is crome gold these days? I have an ostrich a moates burner and a chipped p28, and also will it only run on xp. I had awful trouble trying to get all the hardware to work together, pc not picking up the equipment. Any help would be much appreciated

I have a 1995 civic dx D15B7 , I have turbo installed and now need base map . Do I still need high and low cam values on a single cam non vtec engine .

Hey paul can you live tune with a datalog cable with this

I have 10 psi few column need 6? 1 column for every 2psi right?

What all do I need to start tuning a honda? Cables, parts and all? Thank you

how you have crome tuning in mac because i have a mac ,,, and everybody said i cant intalling in the mac ??

has anyone else been having problems with crome? i tried to go back on it today and it says the version is expired. only its the most current versoion i can find

More please

nice video bro

I have a doubt. Does the p30 turbo map work on a p28 ecu? thanks

Where can i get the cable for a 94 civic

I need some help man I want to ask some things

You can tune my car for KZfaq!

did i have to change my map sensor if im making only 0.8bar boost for jdm b16a turbo??

helped!!!!!

Hey how can I get the program

hi Paul can you contact me i have some questions about the Chrome

What chip do you use?

IS it the free version of CROME?

Great and helpful video. Paul, I sent you an email, I hope you can answer me.

If you want to support me and order through me, that will be great as well
