Default E-manage Ultimate vs. K-PRO HELP!!!

1) Has anyone actually used the new E-manage ultimate? How does it compared to K-pro for tuning?

2) I saw that the harness will fit K20A... I don't see one for the K20Z1. Does anyone know from experience that the harness will or will not work for the 05-06RSX-S application? I would think it all just depends on ECU pinout...

Dude never used K-pro but it certainly comes with a decent reputation I don't think I would reccomend Emanage Ultimate to anyone unless they were on a VERY limited budget or had no other options go K-pro.

unless I'm wrong, the other thing to consider is the HUGE price diff ... I think K-PRO would cost me something crazy like $1500 b/c I have an 05-06 RSX... I can get e-manage for $580 shipped.

Anyone else have anything to add about the two?

e-manage will be a royal pain unless you have a local tuner who is really on top of that system. Greddy tech support for it is a joke.

it seems like a hell of a liot more people use K-pro than anything else. How come K-Pro would be a better choice than AEM for instance?

Technically, KPRO is still using the factory ECU, so wouldn't tuning AFR also affect the timing (like a Piggy-back system)? In which case making AEM much more superior or no?

You mean aside from the required per gear fuel trims on big injector cars revealing Hondata hasn't figured out all the stock fuel corrections aka the product isn't completely understood or stable?

If that's option C you should wait six months for option D.

look in the tuner directory at the top of the FI page, u probably wont find any in ct, and if u do, make sure u trust them because i have yet to find anyone worth even driving to.

Driving/trailering to the south is probably ur best bet, look at the directory.
