I’m wanting to tune my 03 Honda Civic ex thinking about going turbo in the future but wanted to see how I like it after it’s tuned with 2 step etc. I’ve found it very difficult to find tuning programs other that the Hondata kpro d17 which runs about $900 are there any easier ways to go or any cheaper routes???

 

I was on here asking that question when I joined a month ago. Hondata Kpro D17 is the only standalone that is remotely plug and play. There are other standalone units from AEM, Motec and LinkECU. Most of those are just as expensive and you have to make your own adapter harness to connect to the chassis wiring. There are piggy back solutions such as Greddy Emanage, AEM F/IC, Apexi NEO and PCS XFC, but most can only adjust duty cycle and retard timing not advance it. Our OBD2 ecu also has a habit of re-learning and reverting to stock parameters unless careful measures are taken.

I just tried to buy the AEM F/IC from Realstreetperformance this week. They tell me that they can't fulfill at this time and if I really want it I should look used. That was the last straw for me and I started to look for PNF-A03 Civic Si CPU's on Ebay for $200'ish. Once I get that and save up $800 i'll send it off to Hondata.

 

or just buy the kpro or a hondata ecu from there wedsite
