Well, I've worked it out with one of the guys at Hondata for a d17 K Pro. They needed a turbo car for a turbo basemap and that turbo car happened to end up being mine. I plan to tune sometime next week, maybe monday or tuesday. I will post up info on it when its in and done.

Why? Any particular reason you decided to go Kpro vs AEM?

Good news. I already have the k-pro, just gotta get the cam wheel.

Any reason? I personally prefer to use a Honda ECU. The AEM is great, but a Honda ecu was specifically designed by the same people that designed the car, the engineering is not as generic. Just my personal opinion.

I'm glad to hear they're doing this for you. hondata is a respectable company which I would like to also take part in. But I no have turbo. So me car slow.

Most people just prefer hondata over AEM because its just more popular. There a lot more tuners out there that know how to tune a hondata product then AEM. Both are great products though, I believe is just mainly preference.

LOL nah its just more user friendly! LOL OMG i tried doing simple things with the AEM software and good gravy, its insane! and if you dont trust me go download both programs a just take a peek you will see what im talking about. Not to mention hondata give you more options later on that the AEM doesnt.

Well, I will agree. Hondata is alot more user friendly. But I think the aem has more versatility. The beauty of the aem is that you can run any setup with any sensors that you want. With the kpro you're a little more limited. For instance, I was all setup on the aem running a gm intake temp sensor with threads and I was good to go. Kpro requires a Honda sensor, so I have to revert back to my oem sensor. Not a big deal, just a little inconvenient.

i was considering emanage and rsx injectors for my kit when it arrives. should i hold out for the k-pro and rsx injectors? i'm new to the boost business, but i've been doing a bit of reading this past week...

 
Rep Power: 350

YES. Either kpro or aem ems. Standalone, whatever way you go. You want max power and reliability, the best engine management is key.

 
Rep Power: 281

hmmm....guess i got some more reading to do. i can spend around 500 now for the emanage/harness and injectors or wait for K-pro. any ideas on when it'll be available? the turbo is in the mail and i should get it this weekend. i can dd my truck so i'm not worried about parking the vic for a couple weeks if i need to...

K Pro is available now. Go to www.hondata.com and check out their dealer list. Contact them and let them know you're interested, they should be able to make it happen. If they are dumbfounded and have no idea what you're talking about, tell them, yes, there is a d17 kpro and it uses a special cam gear hondata supplies, they can contact hondata about it directly (which they'll need to anyways) to learn more about it.

I would say stay away from emanage if you can help it. Which would you rather have, filet mignon or chuck steak? lol

hmm...since you put it like that....there's a dealer/tuner not far from me too, but i'd have to tow the car there.

Rep Power: 281

so did they do the basemap tune yet?

 
Rep Power: 350

Nah, you don't have to tow the car. That's the real beauty of k pro. They give you basemaps that WILL actually run your car. You can install it and drive to have it tuned or drive it as is and have it installed at the shop. But you will be charged for install.

Nah, the first dumb comment is a freebie. But for the newbs that post a million threads with a million already answered topics will = teh ban, lol. nah, not really.

I'm not the only knowledgeable mod that posts. Boilermaker does, so do robbclark and skip barber. There are alot of mods that know their stuff and post alot.
