-Quick Question
i just bought an Injen SRI and an Injen heatshield for my 05 type s. i was warned from some wrx buddies about my car running bad without a tune. i wanted to wait a little while to get the cat back and then tune it.
is it damaging to the engine to run a SRI without a tune, or is it going to run Rich/Lean
it will run fine... the wrx is a mass air car, and i'm pretty sure runs a recicular valve. they can do something as small as going to an atmospherical bov and run like shit. a lot of mass air cars act like shitheads due to the mass air, some are pretty good with being adaptive though. the type s is a speed density car (map sensor.)
my question still remains unanswered. jus need to kno if its ok to drive my car with a k24a2 on a k24kal wit cams and 50deg vtc.......?
thank you in advance
hello everyone,
so i have this kpro map and was wondering if someone could make it a tad less aggressive. the map is off another car with almost exact mods as me, but its pretty aggressive and i dont feel 100% safe with it like that, so i was hoping someone could help a brother out and adjust it a tad.. :thumbsup:
I got my car tunes at Jotech, I don't know why he tuned it for no topend...it's like he tuned it for less than a 1/8th of a mile..........we kill'm out of the hole and half way down the track, then get cought by a half car at the end..............
great answer...........U got a better tuner? but befor u be an idiot and answer that question, u might wana check out Kenney Tran, he's the one who tuned my car........spent a grand there...........:run: not to say why he tuned it soo low on the topend, but why would he detune it? he knew we were running and 1/8 of a mile track...........i seen on the screen 191 bhp.................then he backed it off to 187.....why?

I just put my ECU back in after getting Hondata #4 reflash. (Good service btw, sent on Fri UPS overnight, arrived to Torrance on Mon and I got it back Tues before noon..)
When I turn the key to II or whatever "run" is (not to "start"), the dash lights up, CEL light comes on (normal) then about 20 seconds it goes off (normal). But after it goes off, it flashes 5 times, then goes off permanently. It also flashes breifly when I start the car, I don't know if that's normal...
Car seems to run ok, haven't really raced it out yet.. idle will take a few cycles to settle down I guess.. but is the flashing thing a concern?
I should add that I did all this with the battery connected. Should I pull the ECU fuse (#6?) to reset it and see what happens?

Pulled ECU fuse, pulled all 3 wiring harness off ECU, checked for loose wires, all wires look ok. Replaced fuse = no change.
Anyone know what 5 flashes means??
Like I said, car seems to run fine, little worried about the CEL flashing though.
CEL does not flash or come on during driving, even extreme acceleration uphill.
Oh I checked fuel cap too, it's tight...
I also put an intake on recently, don't think it flashed after that though (I drove it a little bit, then pulled the ECU the same day). I did check all the sensor wires (AIT, etc) around the intake that you have to mess with when installing intake, they all seem ok..
Anyone ever have a 05-06' Kpro adapter harness break????
Fucking sucks because Hondata is trying to reem me out for a new one. I would just replace the damn pin myself if I could find a male pin for the harness side to the factory engine harness
Here is the thread I started on the Hondata forums. Please read and post up in the thread.
ive got a couple issues I updated my K manager and now im getting an error saying that my current calibration is from an older version and i cannot datalog. i have the original tune. I am also getting an error saying that i must switch from on board memory datalogging to...etc, how can i correct these? ive played with the setting but nothing has worked.
ok so i have read several of the ecu threads and im still left with 1 question about the reflash. So someone said that the reflash was basiclly a mild one size fits all. Someone else said it is tuned for no race header or you run lean for an 05/06.
Now my question is... What exactly is the reflash map supposed to support best? Is it just an addition to an Intake and exhaust or does it support other mods?
CAI, Hondata IMG, Shorty Header, Catback Exhaust. For sure. Though,their has been 2 threads lately where both people had reflash with RH and were fine AFR wise, FYI.
We have tested short ram, cold air intakes, headers, test pipes and exhausts and have done some preliminary work with ITR cams. The programs have been tested to work well with any intake.
With the stock airbox the VTEC point needs to be set at 5800 rpm. With intakes the power curve benefits from a lower VTEC point. VTEC switching point is important. Switching at the wrong RPM can cause the engine to drop power for the next 1000-1500 rpm. We have found 5200 rpm a good point for cars with intakes.
