Dope series my boy love it!

Thank you Siricko

You are my number one guy I go to because I enjoy your Tuning Video's. Great knowledge to know and learn. Tunning my 2012 Accord on Ktune can be a pain in the butt the way you have to tune Fuel and Air with the Curve map and not actual numbers for the Fuel.

Thank you for the positive words, ktuner is fairly different and can be complicated at times. We have other shops every now and then call with ktuner questions so don't beat yourself up to bad.

Confirmed my dyno session today. Can't wait. But what motor oil do you recommend for turbo b series? Has break in oil in it now for the first few heat cycles.

[@RCautoworks]

Thank you, it really comes down to the engine builders preference but we like Shell Rotella.
