hey guys, i have ordered a hondata flash pro for my 05 s2k.

some people say i should go for a kpro or AEM EMS

Kpro i have to change half my car round... sensors etc etc etc and run a diff ecu.

is it worth it or can a tuner get good power out of the flash pro.


for now ill be running toda headers, toda test pipe, J's 70 rs exhaust and password JDM intake.

i will then tune the car on that.

later i will add toda cam shaft, adjustable cam gears and heavier valve springs.

retune.

does anyone think the flash pro will be ok???? or should i go for something a bit more???

or go for something else. please any input

 

Flashpro is more than capable of tuning that setup but is only compatible with a flashable ECU (06+ DBW).

 

my car is 05..... so what do i do now. lol

 

You can't use flashpro unless you have an 06+. The ECU isn't reflashable. Your choices are either AEM, Haltech or Kpro.

 

ah S***.

ok so would the AEM EMS do a nice job?

think thats the path ill take.

the Kpro... i have to change so much stuff... and cbf really.

anyone had any experience with the AEM EMS? good, bad, average???

 

Theres a bunch of topics on the AEM EMS. I know one of the biggest issues with states that have emissions is that you lose the OBD2 sensor functionality and the regular check engine light functionality.
Ask your tuner what they are comfortable with, as that is what will matter the most.

 

hondata is a much better choice in my opinion.

for the years 2000-2005 the hondata kpro, you will need to use an ECU from the RSX as the base. because the ECU is still a facor honda item the OBD2 port still works.

obd2 functionality is important for 2 reasons; ability to have smog check dont and anything else you may add like an obd scanner.
kpro is fully programmable with features like mapped boost contorl, nitrous, 2 steop setting and datalogging plus more. basically it will do most anything for any power mods and the A/C and all the gauges will still work as they normally would.

As the KPro is based on the RSX ECU, there are a number of items and sensors that require replacement:

Crank sensor 37500-PZX-003

Crank wheel 13622-PCX-013

TDC sensor 37510-PZX-003

TDC wheel 14112-PCX-003

Valve cover 12310-PCX-020

Drain plug washer (for PCV valve) 94109-14000

PCV valve 17130-PCX-003

IAT sensor 37880-P05-A00

 

man i would love to go for the kpro but s***, gotta change half my car.

ok so i have a lot of things in the pipeline at the moment and waiting for a many parts.

ill go to honda and get a price on all this shit to add to the arse ache.

thanks for the input. the kpro does sound good and useable but having to swap all this stuff is LUUDAAA.

ill get a price today actually.

cheers guys.

 

also are they all the new part numbers???

 

So with kpro you can do a launch control?
