I'm just on the verge of buying the Kpro and just had a quick question for you N/A guys.
I'll be buying the system for use when I eventually go boosted but in the meantime i'd like to use it stock.
Does the tune for the 06 work on the 00-05 kpro?
how well is the 'stock' tune in terms of smoothness etc?
Do anyone have a great tune that they'd like to share
Much thanks!

 

I believe the only member running K-PRO is F/I

 

i'd don't think you want to use the 06 tune on your '00

assuming you have a my00 ap1, the kpro progamming software (Kmanager) comes with a dyno tune for an ap1 w/cai. this tune will be very close and you can tweek the a/f further for you car's mods..

there is no tune included for 04-05 and there are three tunes included for 06+ models (a toda header tune - same as the reflash, 650cc injector tune and a stock tune - same as the reflash)...

 

not much for the ap2's... you will basically get what hondata got with the stock tune reflash for the '06. http://www.hondata.com/images/s2k_06...vs-reflash.gif

you can change some cool stuff but your gains with be min.

- lower the vtec and retune the a/f to pick up some decent mid-range, see hondata's '06+ stock reflash dyno- they make 10-16hp over range of 400rpms..

- push the rev up ~8.6k and retune a/f up top - hondata got nothing doing this with '06 after hours of dyno tuning

- can run a dry kit safety by tuning a/f and having very very good automatic control

- simulate cat readiness code for smog test

for the early ap1 with super rich a/f you may benefit from a leaner tune.

 

fyi - you can download Kmanger for free from hondata.com and see the ecu control you will have and take a look at the base maps...

I gained 27hp and 20ft/lbs of tq... At 231/156. Its pretty nice, i can barely tell its an aftermarket ecu.

 

I have to disagree with this... You can pick up decent power from a tune. It may not always show with the peak numbers, but its under the curve that counts. Your mid range will feel a lot stronger if you have a decent tuner.

Also, for the ap2 guys, you never have to worry about shifting out of vtec again.. With a good header, the vtec will normally end up ~5k rpm.

 

is there a down side to kpro like losing any oem functionality

 

You dont lose any oem functions what so ever. It is still a honda ecu so your fine. You can still hook a diagnostic scanner up to it and even do your emissions no problem. Though with kpro there is no need for a diagnostic scanner ever since it has it built in. Any time you throw a CEL just hook up the laptop and kpro tells you whats going on. If you have a test pipe you have the option to disable the CEL thrown for no converter. It also allows you to make your obd2 check systems in ready mode. So its real easy for emissions really and your honda dealer wont know the difference if they are doing a diagnostic scan.

 

I had the understanding the immobilzer no longer functioned which might not be a big deal to some, but others...... Am I incorrect?
