Default K-pro or Relash ??

Hi,
i know there were a lot of other subject on this matter ...but i need to know which one should i buy !!
I know K-pro is better but i dont seem to understand how it works ??
you plug the cpu on a pc to configure it yourself but what if i dont know how to it ...what to adjust ?? is there presets ???
And if i buy K-pro do i need to tune up my motor or it will break if i rev it to high !!

where can i purchase that k-pro ?

i got an ep3 with a DC race header,skunk2 exhaust and AEMv2intake ??

what do you think i should do reflash or k-pro?

Kpro you can plug into your laptop and re-tune your car whenever you want, reflash you send your stock ecu to them with a list of your mods and they tune it and send it back. IMO Kpro is better because everytime you add a new mod you can make adjustments. If you don't know how to tune it I wouldn't advise messing with it because you could seriously mess somethin up, find a shop around where you live with someone who has a good reputation for tuning hondas/acuras and give them a call or drive over there. As far as where to pick up a Kpro setup try the link below (may have to copy and paste). The price includes shipping also.

P.S.

corsportusa.com has alot of goodies for your car, I have an Ep also and have done a bit of business with them.

Is a few extra HP + about $500 more (+ tuning) worth it to you?

Reflash is simple, somewhat inexpensive and makes good numbers for typical boltons.

KPro requires tuning and more money. And with a bolt-on EP3, it won't make a ton of difference over the reflash.

You can start out with a reflash then always upgrade later.

I would go with just the reflash for now also.. If you soo feel the need to get Kpro later on then do the upgrade but for what you briefly explained reflash should be good enough

if you plan on keeping your car basic ie. intake shorty header (not raceheader), exhaust, then i would go the reflash route. if you plan on going all out might as well go big and go kpro

OT: Can you pass state inspection if you have K-Pro or the reflash?

i got reflash on my car and it feels pretty good but this month ima go ahead and upgrade it to kpro to get the most hp out of my mods. if u just wanna stay basic nothing big just get reflash but if u wanna get more upgrades on the future just go kpro it would be better on the long run....

reflash is WORTHLESS if he plans on modding it more than basic bolt-ons

Of course it is...even Hondata will tell you this. But, they do provide a reduced-cost upgrade path if that's the decision you make.

The reflash is better than any bolt-on though. And with a reflash, intake and exhaust, it makes for a decent bang-4-the-buck. After that, HP doesn't come as freely on the EP3 motor.

If you do some research on the Hondata site, they have claims of RSX's running 14.1s and 14.2s with just header, intake, exhaust, and the reflash. And keep in mind that the "power" gains dont look anything amaizing on the dyno, but your TQ curve is much improved. I spikes quick and stays relatively flat. In all your car makes more efficient power, not so much more power. The reflash is 100% worth it. Get the upgrade later.
