Default Turbo question?

After I get out of boot camp in December I want to do a lot of work on my car. The first thing im going to do is buy a B18 engine but not swap it yet, I want to find a place to store it and build it up, that would include a turbo and im going to want to build the motor to handle some boost and I keep hearing you guys talk about if you "tune", what do you mean tune it? like what is it exactly, would you use hondata? or something close to that.

Before diving into a huge project, I suggest you do your homework. You're on the right track tho, you would use Hondata (or one of many others) to "tune." In a nutshell, Tuning is the adjustment of Air/Fuel ratio and making sure you don't run too rich/lean


....that is a VERY compact nutshell. Read up man
