i think anyone will tell you any forced induction in a n/a car will need good tunning, (good tunning ='s better performance and reliablity.)

and k-pro will be on most peoples list since they work so heavily on honda ecu's.

but i think its best to talk to someone that acutally has this kit.

honda-tech is still the best hehe.

 

the KPro is time consuming to tune, but seems to work fine


turbo kits.....hurm all up to you and your wallet.

 

if not the k-pro, anyone have any suggestions

 

I a lot of people are boosting their RSXs with k pro.

For turbo kits, some of them are:

rev hard
full race
cybernation
gready
there are more I am forgetting

Sure K pro can do the job... When AEM is ready it wil be able to do it as well.

What are you goals? Your budget? why turbo?

 

I have installed the revhard kit and K-pro on a 02 RSXs for one of my guys here. It runs great. Right now it is running 9psi on 550 RCs @80% duty. Anyway the Kpro should be the very first part you buy but tuning it is not for a rookie. It has 26 different fuel, ignition, and cam angle maps. Personally I would get the Kpro and go NA but thats just me.

 

Im running a Greddy kit with K-pro in my EP, been very happy with it, no problems at all so far
Just the power that I wanted to get me around the track.
I suggest if you do purchase it, not to experiment yourself, I would let someone that has done it before tune your vehicle.
Good luck

 

you should leave kpro tuning for forced induction to the pro's. tuning N/A you can try it yourself though. Can't break anything too serious

 

With K-pro you'll have to remember that its about a grand to buy + however much it cost to tune.

If the tuner has to do like 50 pulls on a dyno and it takes him a whole day to tune it properly, your out another $500-$1000

 

A std. FMU like Greddy E-Man. will work fine.

 

if only you knew what you were talking about. Have you even ever installed and tuned a Kpro? The K20s come with a wideband from the factory so most of the tuning can be done off the dyno by datalogging the WB with the kpro. If your tuner is any good it should take 1 hour or less to do the final tuning on the dyno.

PS the E-man is crap compered to the Kpro. right now no one makes an EMS as good as the Kpro for the K20 stuff.

 

Here is a Greddy dyno chart with E-manage and then with K-Pro on a RSX-S. No other changes.

We have put a least a day of tuning - sometimes more - into each of our maps supplied with the K-Pro.

Time is Time tho...it's still time consuming as hell to tune. Whether yu street tune or Dyno Tune.

 

Doug up there with the Mars Attacks avatar is the man at hondata....the company that made Kpro

 

I bought the EFI101 book... you know the Electronic Fuel Injection Class thing?

http://www.efi101.com/

the guy wrote a book too... I bought here for 25$ shipped

Hopefully that'll get me part way to using K-pro if I ever get the $ for it.

i have a boosted rsx, with the cybernation kit. It was a pain in the *** install but worth the gains. i couldn't tune it with what they gave me so i bought k-pro. it was the best thing i ever did. I put out 284.69whp on stock internals. My friend tune me. Check out my dyno sheets at maxpowertuning.com. it's under customers cars.

 

Wow, isn't 13 psi a lot for stock internals?

 

K-Pro is the way to go! Big ups to Hondata.
