hello and thanks for tuning in if you're new to the channel please hit the subscribe button
if you're returning thanks it means a lot i really do read all the comments and try
to reply to everybody so i really appreciate it today we're going to look at how to tune in
engine specifically a honda motor on hts honda tuning suite this happens to be version 2.08
this is the pre-k series versions that i'm not tuning a k series
and they're all about the same so this you can go off of this if you're using a k series
once you open hts you're going to be presented with a blank screen like this you can set up how
you want to display i believe there's different windows i like this personal one like this it's
much easier this is what i learned on so you're going to go to file and you want to create a new
base rom so right here you can name your base rom we'll just name this one for the video
purposes d16 z6 um there's not much support for obd1 or sorry obd0 ecu's ton for obd1
so we'll click on obd1 we'll go to version 1.15 and you're presented with a base map creator here
you can select what map sensor you have for this purpose we'll leave it stock you can select
your injector setup 240 is a common honda uh honda injector setup you can come here and select your
ohms based off what injectors you're running so if you change your injectors let's say the
440 and you hit enter it's going to ask if you want to calculate the tip in and trim yes you do
and we're going to go back to previous here and you see it's taking out 45
upon startup now 440 we know our common acura rdx so let's find that down here
and let's just change the value and if you have stock injectors you would just leave it alone
stock 240 and find which honda ones you're running 92 to 2000 or in the older hondas and
crx to 86 to 91 they are different ohms so make sure you know what injectors you have in there
uh let's look for rdx injectors where are they i know they're in here
yeah here we are so 440 12 ohm and then transmission it gives you a few options i just
leave it on the dell one manual transmission you can rescale for boost uh for this video we won't
well this is just creating a little base map if you have a boosted car that you're starting
a base map with just click it and it'll rescale everything and then you can set up your boost cut
you know if you want the boost to cut 10 psi 12 psi 8 psi whatever um this will give you some more
columns and everything so down here you want to disable o2 because if you're going to start tuning
you need a wideband o2 sensor it's not going to happen with a narrow band or stock o2 sensor so
at this point you know if you don't have an o2 you're shooting in the dark so i leave all this
stuff disabled personally that's going to be preference and choice on you so we're going to
next now here you're going to select what type of engine you're running so d16 z6 vtec is enabled
and that's when vtec kicks on and that's your rev limit so we'll leave that alone for this video
and there you go it generates base map so there's a couple things that i like to do personally
i'll click on the low cam ignition and i'll come over here and you see how jagged this is
like that all this stuff is very jagged right here there's an auto smooth button here
so we'll smooth that current map and you see the jump that it made right here
everything kind of smoothed out we'll do that one more time
and smooth that one more time make sure while you're in each low cam high cam low fuel high fuel
there's primary and secondary tables and maps so we're still in low ignition we're going to
go to the secondary map and look it's just as jagged so we want to do the same thing clear it
clear it up boom you're gonna smooth it go to your high cams map do the same thing nice and smooth
make sure you hit both of them
fuel the same thing you see how jagged that fuel is right there i'm going to smooth it
then we're going to go to the secondary map see this spike right here
go ahead and smooth that out smooth out a little bit it doesn't do it greatly this one here
this spike here let's smooth it out you see how much it jumped back in same thing on the secondary
i'm sorry primary table okay now that you've smoothed out all your ignition and fuel maps
you can come over to parameters and set things in your main settings uh in this setting here
i leave the idle air control valve on because my vehicle has one depending on
if you have one or not you can disable it i always disable transmission and the traction control
um down here is used for kind of if you're experimenting i leave all those unchecked
because all the crank position sensor and all that stuff you know it doesn't really apply to the p28
idle settings so you target idle after warm-up something you have to pay attention to so your
exhaust coolant temperature here i believe is in maybe in fahrenheit now so at 177
you're sitting at 8.50 now this 286. so yeah you're at 800 so it'll go down you can change your
base i'll hear if let's see you know your target idle is a thousand because you got a big cam well
if you leave this at 850 it's going to go down to 850. so you'd have to come here and go 1000
1000 and then here i would just bring up to 900 and leave it at 900. i leave the uh
idle air control valve error i leave it enabled because my vehicle has one if yours doesn't make
it make an educated guess vtec settings this is where you can enable the vtec you can lower
and enable the high and low at what tps threshold and inches of mercury it comes on at
and the minimum coolant temperature and speed you have to have which coincides with the options so
speed check temp check pressure check error check so i always enable back to pressure check because
if this so the speed check will disable if you have a vvs issue or anything like that
attempt checks your coolant pressure temperature or your coolant temperature sensor
and uh either of those will produce an error so the vtec is looking the computer is looking to see
all these parameters are correct before it allows this to happen at this rpm
so i don't care about speed i don't care about temp i do care about oil pressure
because if oil pressure is too low you could end up destroying your lost motion
uh your cam shaft get wet extra wear on it so i like to leave that enabled
rev limits this is just setting your cold and warm settings whether you know you want fuel
cut or ignition cut so i kind of just leave that alone if you're just starting to tune
here's your shift light let's say you want to shift before redline at 7 300 or so
what'll happen is when you get to 73 100 around there because the gauge is not terribly accurate
um the check engine light will come on that's just letting you know to shift and then once
you shift and the rpm's lower you're going to end up um being able to that like basically turn off
essentially and then when you hit that rpm again it'll turn back on so you can enable it by gear
so first gear 8000 let's say second gear you're going to leave it there third gear you want to
shift a little earlier 7 500 fourth gear 7 500 the fifth gear you want to wind all the way out
whatever you want to do you can enable it and then you're going to come to here you get your closed
loop this is where the o2 sensor is disabled and like i said you need a wide band o2 to do this
your map sensor with stock tps that's a big one so
in this situation you have to be hooked to the car whether it be through
um some type of data logging emulator uh cobra you know whatever is out there right now hon data
so you know i like to enable this well not sorry not enable this once the ec is connected you
can calibrate your tps to what your actual pedal reading is because sometimes they're slightly off
and they may need adjustment and that can affect the whole range of things like
fuel um delivery you know how much your throttle plate is actually open how much
air cfm is coming into the engine so that's a big one so make sure you calibrate that always
uh fan control you can when i if you have stock fans most people who are tuning and have built
engines don't have a stock fan like myself i have a separate fan controller so i don't you know
i disable that i don't let the ecu control that i control out of a whole separate controller uh
however you have a control if you have your stock fans leave it enabled and you can change you know
what temperature you want to come on at and once you got all that set up that's about your basic
map so you can come here and you can basically save as and
do whatever you want you know save it in their d16 z6 file it's going to be a doc bin file so
after that that's what you would you take that file and you would upload it on your sst chip
or basically in your emulator and that's how you load it to your ecu and you'll be able
to start your car and once you start your car and warm it up you'll be reading the wide band
and you make your adjustments off that so the next video i'll actually talk about what tuning
options you have and how to actually emulate to the car see live data through your cn2 data port
so this video right here was just designed to basically get you a base map and get the car
started so stay tuned for the next videos i appreciate it thanks for watching please subscribe
