Sorry, I only have limited info on the car. A friend of mine who tunes Honda's knew the original owner and actually asked me about tuning it about 6mos ago. Originally the car had a 42r and a stroker but never ran properly and it had been blown up at least 1 time previously.
Someone else bought the car and swapped an entire IX drivetrain (minus MIVEC head) into the car and then it was sold to the present owner. The new owner is a new member on the board - 'Evosteined'.
1. Sorry, I dont know what boost level it was tuned for. Looking at the timing map I can't really tell that it was properly tuned for any level of boost.
2. Unknown as well.
3. I dont think any parts have been changed on the car so yes, I'll assume it was originally tuned with the 5 bar map sensor. The new owner wants a 93oct pump gas tune and I'm betting a 3.5 bar map sensor would be better suited to the car but we'll work with what he has.
Also to me it doesnt look like whoever tuned it bothered to start with the Evo AEM 1313 Calibration or the tune would look alot better than what it does.
The gist of it is that the guy who sold Chris the car thinks that this is a "good" tune. I believe otherwise and instructed Chris not to drive the car after the repairs are made and we'll start with the 1313 cal and take it from there. I think the owner agrees with me but is trying to convince the guy who sold him the car that the tune is junk.
