Hondata Coil Pack Retrofit coming in June, run coil packs on your B/D/H/F-Series
Apr 8th
Last night Hondata released information on their new Coil Pack Retrofit (CPR) slated for release in June 2011. The CPR works with the S300 system to deliver a simple solution for running individual coils on a B/D/H/F-Series motor. The CPR doesn’t include the coils (which cost about $60 per coil) but we’ve done the work to get you the best deal possible on them.
Evans Tuning is offering a PRE-ORDER SPECIAL for the new CPR. The pre-order includes the Coil Pack Retrofit and the option to purchase the coils as well as the recommended seals at discounted rates. We’ve also thrown in an option for a FREE set of NGK-BKR7E Spark Plugs! BUY NOW!
Below is the information supplied from from Hondata:
Overview
The Hondata Coil Pack Retrofit (CPR) allows the use of ‘coil on plug’ individual ignition coils on engines with distributor based ignition systems (D, B, F and H series Honda engines). It does this by replacing the stock coil and ignition with an electronic circuit which can drive igniter type individual ignition coils, such as used on later model Honda engines. A Hondata S300 system is required.
What does it come with?
The Hondata CPR comes with a wiring harness for your coil packs, a coil pack controller and fly leads for connecting to your distributor and ECU. The CPR is typically positioned next to the ECU inside the car.
Benefits:
-More spark energy than a single coil, allowing a larger plug gap and fewer misfires
-Individual coils are more durable and less likely to fail than the stock igniter and coil
-No exposed plug leads results in less interference to other electronics on the vehicle
-The Coil Pack Retrofit can drive a CDI controller if desired
Requirements:
-Hondata S300 system (not included)
-4 x coils, Honda part number 30520-PVF-A01 (approx $60 retail and not included)
Optional Parts:
-4 x coil seals, Honda part number 30522-RNA-A01 (approx $19 retail)
-These coil seals provide a tighter fit than those supplied with the 30520-PVF-A01 coils
Notes:
-Resistor plugs must be used
-The coils require a method of retention. B16A, B18C & F22A engines may use the stock plug cover. Other engines require an alternative method of coil retention (not supplied)
-This is a race product. Cranking times may be increased over a stock ignition set up

Injector Dynamics 1600cc Injectors Now Available!
Feb 25th
Following the incredible injector line up from Injector Dynamics the new ID 1600cc/min is nothing short of amazing! The ID 1000cc’s changed the injector market hands down. Response, control and repeatability are the key factors that make the ID 1000cc’s work so well in comparison to other brands on the market. The ID 1600cc’s follow suit!
Typically anything in the 1000cc/min range are tolerable for a street car in other brands such as Precision and RC. While the car is not nearly as smooth as with the ID’s, they are functional and can usually idle/cruise in the 13.5~14.0:1 a/f ratio without misfiring. Once you step above the 1000cc/min size range drivability goes down hill quickly.
A “cheap” way to go fast on most drag cars is the old Bosch 1600cc/min peak and hold injectors. They’ll deliver ample fuel for set-ups in the 800-900 whp power range, but have absolutely horrible idle and partial throttle quality. They can literally be a “on/off” switch to tune, creating horrible lean misfiring under 2 millisecond range (where most of the idle and light throttle driving is done).
The ID 1600cc/min injectors changes everything. They will idle, partial throttle drive and run exactly like the ID 1000cc’s. If you have been in a car with the ID 1000cc’s you know how well they run, so imagine that in a 1600cc/min injector! No compromises for big power set-ups that see street use anymore! Another great thing about the ID 1600s is that they use a OBD-1 style injector clip, so if you have a OBD-1 honda or clips currently on your car they are a 100% drop in fitment.
Like the ID 2200 injectors the ID 1600′s are not compatible with MTBE based racing fuel such as Q16 or VP Import, but can be used with any alcohol or pump gas.
Get Them Today!
We are offering plug and play adapter clips for all applications that require them. The ID 1600cc/min injectors are available for purchase here: http://www.evans-tuning.com/ecommerce/injector-dynamics-1600cc-injectors.html
The Evans Tuning 2011 Yearly Outlook
Jan 10th
Happy New Year! Last year was full of exciting news and updates from Evans Tuning and we certainly have plans to stay on that same exciting path in 2011. Everything from eTuning (our hottest new addition to the tuning services lineup) to our brand new Dyno Database (currently made up of over 670 dynos – it is the world’s largest online dyno graph database) has kept us extremely busy. As one of the most cutting edge tuning shops in the country, we always make improvements and advancements over previous years, and we feel we really have some new and exciting things lined up for this year that will blow you away. Although there are too many things coming throughout the next 12 months to list in detail, we wanted to take a moment to give everyone just a small sampling of what’s to come.
Hybrid EMS
Perhaps our most exciting new development for 2011 will be our new Hybrid EMS! The Hybrid EMS will be able to retain full OBD-2 functionality when tuning with a standalone (more details coming soon). There are endless possibilities to where this can lead; and needless to say, we are very excited. Production will begin with the AP1 S2000 and hopefully branch out shortly to many other makes and models.
Technical Support Updates
For years we have been providing the industry’s best email-based technical support. We respond fast (usually within 24 hours) and effectively to virtually every email we receive (that’s upwards of 15,000 emails in 2010). Because of the burden that email support places on some of our customers, we’ve been working on a better way to help service everyone. We’re creating new internal systems and although we are not ready yet, we will soon be offering limited technical support over the phone.
Dyno Database
If you’ve been following our posts on Facebook and Twitter you have undoubtedly seen all of the updates in the brand new Dyno Database toward the end of 2010. In 2011 we have many more updates planned for the Dyno Database. For starters, we’ll be breaking down more sorting options and adding a video of dyno runs!
Labor Services
Toward the end of 2010 we added 3 new labor services. We are now offering Performance Modifications, Transmission Builds, and Corner Balancing & Alignment services. Although we have been performing these services on a very limited basis for several years, we are now offering them to all. In 2011 we have a few more services we plan to add – details to come.
Web Site Updates
Last year we made huge strides in our web site design and online presence. This year we are starting off with redesigned page layouts and updated information in our Dyno Tuning section, and creating an entirely new set of pages detailing the Hybrid EMS system. Later this year we plan to revisit our home page and make some updates to the more static sections of our web site.
Consultations
Sometimes it’s just easier to bring your car to the shop before you build it. Later this year we’ll start offering personalized recommendations for your setup when you schedule a consultation at our shop.
The Evans Tuning Race Car
Late in 2010 we started building a new shop race car. We’re pretty excited about it and hope to have it done very early this year with dyno numbers and then track times once the tracks open up!
Garrett GTX Turbos
Jan 4th
Garrett has just released their new line of GTX (also called GTX-R) turbos that are a drop in replacement for the current 3071R and larger sized turbos!
The new GTX line up boasts 10-15% increased compressor efficiency which results in huge power gains. The key to the GTX compressor wheel is the increased efficiency without increased size (inducer/exducer) in a billet material configuration, so the turbo is able to move more airflow (CFM) and retain the same spool characteristics as the same size GT equivalent turbo. The new GTX 3071R is now able to offer 50-60 hp more from the same size turbo, with no other changes being made! The larger GTX turbos such as the GTX4202 can offer an additional 200hp+ in gains with no loss of spool!
While there are other companies offering billet compressor turbos, they are far from reliable. Get the same high quality and reliability you expect from the Garrett GT line-up, but with more power. We are offering the GTX line up in a wide array of turbine housing options, and even have a 72mm specific drag race “special” GTX turbo that is able to support 1200whp+.
The New Evans Tuning Dyno Database Is Now Available!
Nov 15th
For years we have been posting the dyno graphs from just about every tuning session we’ve had. The reasoning is simple: you deserve it, we are proud of our work, and we feel that a resource for dyno graphs has helped us learn by repetition the setups that do and do not produce desirable results. For years we have added to our collection of graphs and recently found that we have added over 700 dyno graphs and setups to our forums.
Along with many other things, we have been focusing on the simplicity and functionality of our web site and we were forced to re-evaluate our dyno graph section. Needless to say, the unorganized jumble of graphs led us to the conclusion that something needed to be done. After all, the dyno section is the third most popular section of the site after the home page and online store.
The answer wasn’t too difficult. We needed to create a simple and effective solution that would make browsing the graphs easy and painless. We feel we have been able to do just that with the launch of our new Dyno Database, the world’s largest online dyno graph database.
We’ve started with general yet useful categories. As time goes on we’ll be adding more categories to sort with so you can find exactly what you’re looking for. We know you’re going to love the new functionality of the dyno section, but for now we’re going to leave our old dyno library open which you can navigate to through our forums.
That’s all there is to it. So stop reading and start browsing now!
