I began tuning in 2016 with the Honda/Hondata s300 car and tuning platform. Originally tuning on a d16z6 vtec single cam Honda motor, I went through various setups including turbos, b18 dual cam vtec/non vtec, nitrous applications as well map/maf tuning and e85 fueling.
Combining this skill with my already established DJ "persona" (Aeon Psych), I have come to brand this offering as Psycho Tuning / Psycho Tuned. Where most might be familiar with "send it" or "moon" tunes, when you get even crazier with the tune, you reach the Psycho Tuned level!

As far as platforms I work with: I am most familiar with the hondata platform, but have sufficient experience with VersaTuner (mazda/mazdaspeed), and may begin learning HPTuners (GM) soon. Beyond that, I would say I am comfortable tuning most, if not all platforms that have adequate ECU tuning software. If you are looking for ECU tuning from me on platforms that I don't normally work with, it is on you to do the research for ECU and software that will work for your engine and chasis, and then present that information to me to see if I can work with it. In most cases, I will not be doing that research for you.

Pre-Tuning Info:

  • Must have a compatible and working tunable ecu setup. I do not currently solder/socket or custom mod/chip ecus.
    • If you need a compatible ecu package, may be able to order one for you.
  • Car/Engine must be mechanically ready for a tune.
    • If it's determined it's not ready for a tune before/during tuning, you will need to reschedule the tuning date.
  • Wideband Air/Fuel meter guage required. Oil pressure and knock sensor recommended.
  • Fuel capabilities/requirements:
    • Stock Honda B/D/H series injectors are good for up to about 5 psi/lbs of forced induction.
    • Map sensor good up to about 10 psi
    • upgrade both if you want more.
    • E85 fuel requires 30%+ more fuel, so this must be factored into your max fuel injector output as well.
  • Software/Hardware:
    • Honda setups preferred Hondata.
      • If running chips, you provide the chips and chip burner hardware.
    • Mazda preferred VersaTuner.
      • You provide the license, or it will be included in your tuning fee.
    • HPTuners: discuss
