Yes, old news... 1 week old only nia, dun takan me la. Damn shack these days haha...
Owner knows us through the car we have tuned. Car comes with emanage ultimate tuned by a famous ah-no-neh tuner. With all due respect, we felt the car can do better with a more personalized mapping. I felt the mapping is very much across the board kind of tuning, which works for most cars, but in my opinion, if we can do a more personalized mapping, we can maximize the full potential of this ride.
Honda stream is not an easy car to tune. This ride comes with open pod filter, aftermart extractor, aftermart exhaust, decat and tuned with emanage ultimate. Car is also heavy on ICE which make tuning more challenging.
Honda builts this engine with a more tamed ride in mind, smooth acceleration, smooth pickup and stuff, what we wanna do here is to change all that and make a car that accelerates hard, and sharper pickup as a result of increase torque. We also made the vtec effect more pronounced. Without tuning, you can be assured the vtec pulling effect is unnoticed.
We guessed that if honda is going to put in a mapping like our, many would have felt that the honda stream is a little too aggressive for grandpa.
Owner went with us for tuning session and afternoon tea at Jln Kayu. Over teh tarik, we already talk about the mass reduction in exhaust back firing, a more lively ride, the vtec pulling effect and no jerk during gear shifting.
With 4 person on board during tuning, most of the time, the car will feel heavy. And when the owner comes back from his test drive, I can feel a sense of achievement from the driver. Some people are like that, they buy something with something they wanna achieve, its that when they got it, they conquered the world. hahaha... His friend who went with him for test drive also shared the same feeling of a lighter and responsive ride. Its Vtec mah, wat you expect.
verdict:
Do this for maximizing your cars potential. Stream is quite detuned with it comes out from the factory. Expect a more 'vtec' like car after tuning with minor stage 2 modifications.
Otherwise, try turbo chargering this ride.
