i want to know what type of ecu are ep3 have. i have a buddy i can buy a vafc and a wide band and i just wanna know what type of ecu my car has so i can buy the wiring hardness off boomslang for my car and make life way more easy then it is.

if anyone can respone it would be helpfull.

 

If by type you mean code, then it's a PRN. Also I don't think the VAFC is compatible with our cars. I'm not positive but that's what I heard.

 

the USDM EP3's ECU is PNF...and the vafc is useless...don't get that...search and you'll find better options...

 

Yeah, that's what I meant haha.

 

They aren't completely useless... the have blinking lights and etc... lol

 

ok thanks but what does pnf mean? and yes the vafc neo will work for are ep3 i read alot of threads and this guy got 9 whp just buy tuning with it and leaning out the fuel just a tad.

 

the vafc neo has nothing on the KPRO! KPRO is the only ecu upgrade you should consider... don't waste your time get KPRO!

 

i know that kpro is my a awesome option i have the money in hand for it but i would **** my car up so bad with. i been reading up on it and try too learn using it but if i dont have a clue what im am doing its gonna go downhill from there. i can get a wideband and vafc from a friend used to like 200 dollars lol

 

not worth it. Save ur money and het kpro or another tuning program!!!

 

didnt i just say i dont kno how to use kpro?????????? im still trying to learn. if anybody knows a good diy on kpro let me know please thxs

 

What makes you think you know how to tune a VAFC??? First of all if you don't even have a dyno having your VAFC is pretty useless... I would rather have the KPRO and get it dyno tuned by someone who knows what they are doing... and after that you can data log your car with the KPRO and you can keep learning about all the things KPRO is capable of... but one thing is for sure is that you are not going to start changing setting on the fly everytime you get in your car bc just the way you are talking you don't even know what you are doing!

Listen to most of these guys when they tell you that your VAFC is going to be a waste of time but if you want some extra bling bling light in your car then go for it!

 

Who said u need to know how to tune kpro to get it. There are tons of tuning shops all over the place that know how to tune kpro. I am getting mine done as i type this!!!

 

lol no i dont want some bling bling light hahaha thats rice man. but i was like from a push of a buttom of buying kpro for my ep3. im just dont know how the process works. like i buy and they put it in my ecu? or is it a whole diffrent ecu i get. i dont wannna be out of a car for a day or two because it is my daily driver. and about the imoblizer system i live ina area where ppl steal cars alot and so how will that work out. theese are the little things im trying to figure out right now before i spend my money and regret. sry for the mis confusion i just want some input you kno.

 

Its either you send them your ecu or you purchase another ecu and you send it to them... they will install the KPRO chip in the ecu and I believe they put a base map so you can just drive the car around (for the base map that is what I heard from a guy around my area not sure of it)... After you bring it a tuning shop and voila!!!!!!!!!!! Its all done tuned and ready to go...

You get also KManager which is the software for tuning KPRO and also to do Datalogging! I am sure the guy at the shop can show you how to datalog... and plus you have the internet you can have your answers in matter of seconds and alot of guys here can give you a hand on it!

Trust us when we say KPRO is the way to go... you will be much more happier with it then a useless VAFC!

 

so if i wanna drive my car right now i better start hunting down for a stock ecu for my car?? then when i get that i can get thay sent in so they can put the chip in correct? after that i can either go to honda and get my key to work with the new ecu? or i take it to a tunning shop? and with the imoblizer thing will anyones ep3 key work on my car?? lol (that wouldnt be good)

 

Don't worry, I waiting for my k-pro in the mail...but there are lots of ep guys with k-pro on ephatch.com that are from MD...they will help you...
