Nope, still gone. Just got tired of not getting on the forums. I don't get home until the end of June.

Yeah Jeff, it gets old after a while. Been away from home during my birthday for the last three years in a row.

K-pro is coming Andy! First mod once I get back to the States!

foos your car is going to be sick when you get it tuned with k-pro. i am definitely excited for updates.

[speedfoos]

10 more days to rebuild time....

hey foos i think we're going to build and tune together lol my car is going in end of june !! where are u getting ur kpro from??? how much are u paying ... where is it the best place to get it from?

[speedfoos]

Dunno, haven't bought mine yet. I'm waiting until I get back to the states this fall so I can comb the junkyards to get the right ECU (and rear brake setup) and then I'll figure it out. I'm not paying $800 for a crappy tune in the UK so I'll just run my piggyback for another month.

Hey it's Scott, my Civic should arrive in England near the 11th of July! If you need a hand on your rebuild let me know and I'll help out.

[speedfoos]

Woot!!! All right Scott! It's about damn time! I got've still got a grip of parts that you can have for it too if you want. The catback exhaust, the header, and I think some other stuff too that I don't feel like carting back to the states. Let me know if you want them.

[Wolfgang5884]

sounds good, see ya when you around when you get back

[emjay]

i researched after posting lol thanks man

[speedfoos]

cough....http://www.hondata.com/kpro_d17.html .....cough

[emjay]

hmm foos after much research i think kpro would cost around the aem ... here the aem retails for 14-1600 ... and kpro is 1300 + u need rsx ecu ~200-300 + install the cam gear which is also some money... so they both work out around the same price if not more ... its also a greater hastle for me to get my hands on an ecu, send it in, wait for it to come back, then to just get the aem ... what is ur input on this? does the aem, come equipped to use ur A/C or that is the more expensive model which is around ~17-1800 ?

[speedfoos]

Don't know much about the AEM aside from the fact that you can't pass a thorough emissions test with it. That right there rules out the AEM EMS for me. Check Ebay to source your ECU, you shouldn't pay more than $200-250USD for it. You can get k-pro done for right around $1K USD and then add another $150 for the cam and you get a fully functional ECU replacement that will still allow you pass any emissions test (provided the car is tuned properly). Since my car is a daily driver, 49-state legal is a must.

[emjay]

hey thanks for that input .. so ur going to get a highflow cat and dump ur open waste into ur exhaust as well right?

IF i baught a KPRO'd 02-04 rsx/rsx-s ecu and baught the aem cam gear myself .. would that work? or i'd have to kpro for the d17 on the ecu ...

[ronaldo9]

You have to buy the cam gear through hondata since they modify the cam gear since the kseries rotates the opposite way from the d17. I think you should research the hondata site to get a better understanding.
