I have an ep3 with an exhaust and a short ram k&n intake. what kind of power would i gain and would i lose mpg. is it worth it. sorry if this is ignorant.

 

There's a thread running write now that is the same queery. It's title is: K-PRO.

thats more towards a RSX-S though.

 

Honestly, save yourself $550 purchase price + tuning costs and just get the reflash. It'll be 75%+ of the power and cost a ton less.

You will have to tune the K-Pro. You won't have to tune the reflash.

The reflash made a ton of difference on my old EP3 in both power and drivability.

^What is the difference?

Would using regular gas negate the use of the reflash?

EDIT: ^ I called a dealer about my question and he said it would induce knock with regular. Theoretically, with the motor running leaner and more hp, one could drive with a lighter pedal for efficiency- if one so desired.
So, what is my point? Most of the time I drive efficiently but want the higher rpm. I was wondering if the extra price of premium could be justified with higher mpg. Not sure if it would but it helps me rationalize in favor of the K-Pro.

It's been dyno-proven that even the OEM EP3 ECU will compensate for premium gas and add a few HP.

With the reflash, you *must* run premium gas due to the adjustments the program makes.

And yes, in most cases premium will give you a slight bump in MPG. But is it enough to warrant the extra price? Only testing will tell.

One is a K20A2 one is a K20A3....

Some people may not consider it "worth it" on a K20A3.

Hmm, 3.5 mpg more and that would nuetralize the extra 20 cents.
