i am going to be turboing my civic in the next few weeks…never owned or put together a turbo’d car so i know nothing about tuning…can someone on here give me a crash course in tuning and how to go about it??? not looking for anything fancy like hondata or anything, was thinking about running chrome ---

well its not so simple, hence why you pay a good dyno shop top buck to properly tune your car. at least give the setup you are running. ---

at the very least, your going to need a wideband or egt gauge to go off of, hybrid has both, Denis is really good with chrome ---

and i took your advice and just got a set of dsm 450’s and a resistor box basically i think its a greddy kit…i know their not the best turbo setup in the world but its almost brandnew and i didnt really have a choice but to buy it at the price i was given…im purchasing it tuesday…and im really just trying to find out some of the information behind tuning, like how to get my ecu chipped with crome and the steps to take to get it tuned ---

A greddy kit will be perfect for what your duing, sammy ran one up to 300hp and went 12.5-12.7 with one… IC’s are cheap just goon ebay and pick one up for around 100 shipped About the process about the tuneing Chipping either DIY go to www. [moates.net](http://moates.net) and order a chipping kit (what ecu is it) VTECsol does chip computers on here as well or myself can do it I will give you a loaner to use To tune best way is to Get it towed to the hybrid and have them tune it from the begining but you could also have someone make you a basemap of yoursetup you can drive around on untill you get tuned (either on the street or dyno) anything else? ---
