Honda Stream 1.8 NA tuned

Honda Stream 1.8 NA tuned




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.

Honda Civic are a special breed of cars which can without doubt stir the hearts of most people. Whether be it a tiong car you used to own, or the infamous vtec 'kick-in' phenomenon which many will still talk about today, this special breed of cars will surely make you say something about it.

Till today, I still have a strange feeling for these cars. :)

This ride comes with all the necessary equipment that is ready for 0.9 bars of boost on this 1.7L vtec engine. Yes, no mistake on the capacity or boost. 0.9 bar intercooled turbo charged 1.7L Vtec engine. On a 900kg chasis.

With every engagement of gear, when the turbo spools to its max, the car will snake on it feather-lite weight with the vtec screaming away... omg... wet.

last evening, we managed to tune an extremely smooth idling and fine tuned the cruising to achieve an almost stock feeling. No Cel Light, No engine stalling. Ride is a sure eye opening. Of course, with the car like this on a drizzling evening, if not because sam have to go home to cut cake and owner is rushing us, i think tomorrow will be a safer day to tune this ride.

We're suppose to go Tampines 138 kopi shop to makan kwap chap one... i tell you the tua tao intestine and the tao pok is damn solid lor... the pig skin hor, ai yoh... no water run la... The only problem is that when we reached there, closed already. fark.

We used, emanage ultimate, big injectors, wrx turbo, front mount intercooler, greddy BOV, big bore throttle body, bigger and high-comp engine plus an extra set of lam pah chee.

Verdict:
You only do this if you have the balls of hercules. Cars snakes with 4 people inside the car :)
Very demanding on skill, lucky that sam got some la, cb, how many times must I tell him not to drive like dat... I think to him is a nostalgic feeling la... to me is damn scary lor... Amitabah la... hahahaha
