sell it and spend it on hondata. emanage is junk.

 

yah i would love to do that if i hav the money. its an extra 800 that i dont really have. i will probobly upgrade in like a year. but right now i really dont have the money

 

k100 is the same price as a reflash and you can get it programmed at a hondata dealer. you're risking a huge amount of money on an investment with that emanage

 

LOL! Emanage is universal! Or so I thought.

 

well the k100 is 600 and i got the emanage for 175 so there is a big difference. and then i would have to send my ecu in and that takes awhile. and the e-manage is reprogramable, so they are universal, it just needs to be programed or tuned for each individual car.

 

wat about a apexi safc?

 

might as well not boost if you plan on using that.
That was back in the day with the older hondas... hacking the vafc for boost.

You spend 3000 on a turbo kit for an expensive engine and you want to use engine management that is at best, mediocre.

Might as well not boost. Boosting is expensive and skimming on the engine management will not help you in the long run. Either do it right from the beginning or have problems later on.

 

if you going to boost....seriously, don't even mess with any piggyback. your asking for trouble....i hate to say it...but if you have to save up the money...save the up the money. you might need to wait an extra couple months for you turbo, but its better for the car in the long run. like the one dude said, the revhard kit comes with a reflash from hondata.....with the reflash, the k-pro upgrade (highly reccomended) is actually only another 500 bucks....

 

alright, i dont have the money for a k-pro, but a k100 is pretty much the same, eccept its not programable. and its 600 for the k100. how much would installation be? and it is fully programable, and does all the stuff k-pro does like raise rev limit, and crap right? i wish there was somethin good for under 600.

 

dude.......did you not read the post? lol. the k-pro is way better than the k-100....alot better....can't even compare the two.....one more time....WHEN YOU BUY THE REVHARD KIT IT COMES WITH A HONDATA REFLASH.......YES THE K-PRO IS 1000 DOLLARS, BUT, WITH A PREVIOUSLY REFLASHED ECU, LIKE THE ONE THAT COMES WITH THE REVHARD KIT, IT ONLY COSTS 500 BUCKS! LESS THAN 600....AND ITS FULLY TUNABLE!

 

alright, here is the plan. K-100 for now, untill i get the 500 to get the k-pro. which should be in about 3 months. im not sure if i want to spend the money tuning the k100 or if i should just wait till i upgrade to the k-pro. but will i be able to run my car succesfully with just my k100 non tuned? and i am assumin it will raise my rev limit, eventhough hondata doesn't say so. the kit is a used revhard for only 1500, so its not like im spending 3k on the kit. Im poor.
