oh!!!! ok now! everthing makes sence!


the rsx ecu is stock. got it for 200 bucks and yeah my car is a 2001. everything makes sense now... thanks!
look on clubrsx.com for 02 - 04 rsx type s ecu but since you have a stocker P0A already get on there and look for a guy wanting to trade his kprod ecu for your stock ecu +cash i had a spare ecu laying around and gave 700 for his kpro ecu. im selling my 02 rsx and i LOVED kpro in it, with the cal i had it made mid range torque and made it easier to drive through town. now that i bought a 02 s2k i may put it in there or ill sell it and buy a 2jz to put into my 240..im thinking about it

are you speaking from experience? i know you can use the map as it is programmed on the unit, but i'm not seeing anything that says you can pull the map off

Is this in the right thread?

It sounds like you are talking about a valve adjustment, or something. If you are just removeing the valve cover, then you will probably be able to reuse the old gasket. I've never had one go bad. Hondabond wouldn't be necessary at all.

for a kpro installation you have to remove the oil pan and valve cover from the 00-05 engines, the oil pan is held on by bolts and hondabond

Oh ... okay. Then I still think your original valve cover gaskets will be fine, including the ones for the spark plugs.
