I'm definitely looking forward to seeing some 6-speed results. A reminder for anyone who is interested, we have the Ktuner end user systems in stock and ready to ship!

I would rather not do an etune but I'm wondering if I may have to. I'd hate to drive down there later in the year only to experience issues and ultimately have to etune.
Let me know. Thanks!

Have you ever dyno tuned a SH-AWD? I've read that they can experience issues on AWD dynos unless it's one where the front/rear are mechanically linked. Is the one you have access to in WPB that type?

I have done AWD, auto and Manual. It was not local though. I have tuned a good amount of TLs now.

Can you share your TL tuning files ?

No, with fuel being different in almost every state, it is hard to have "one" tune that will be good for everything. 93 in florida is different then in new york for example. I would rather people have it tuned to the car for better results.
#248
what i'd like to see are some side by side runs...as it seems to be alluded that Ktuner on its own will unlock a good portion before the HFPC
#249
Has the included tune now been updated with some of the new found knowledge from the recent testing session?

Here are the results from driving down to see Kenny(TurboGixxer) to tune my FWD TL.
Base run of 261WHP, Final tune of 277WHP.
Note that the air temp was at 95 degrees F and the humidity was at 65%.
My previous dyno/tune the air temp was at 88 degress, i do not recall the humidity.

Of course I would gladly be the guinea pig and post dyno results like I did with my tune I posted here.
#256
The EGR will no longer function or trigger codes when disabled.

That's even better, we don't even have to do a EGR delete if the ktuner just disables the valve too! Would a retune be needed since, I'm guessing, the air fuel ratio will be off since there's no exhaust gas entering thing intake?
#258
The air/fuel shouldn't change. It's a mass airflow application. It delivers the fuel appropriate for the amount of air flowing in.

Looking at the chart in post #252, the tune is actually losing low-end power/torque at below 3000rpm.
#260
#261
Would disabling the EGR pipe definitely increase power? Are there any negatives effects doing this? Thanks guys

I have a pic of a screenshot from ktuner from rv6 of a 09 5at. Most of the large gains are at 5000-5400 and above 6000. Hp/ftlb gains between 3-7 throughout. Definitely needs to be paired with jpipe of hfpc to be worth it imo.

Turbogixxer posted a quick clip of my car being tunes.
This is what my 3.5 tl with borla exhaust, atlp jpipe rv6hfpc and takeda intake and p2r throttle body spacer sounds like.

Sounds great!!!

Good stuff. Might have to jump on board. 3.7 auto here w/ xlr8 v2 j pipe, xlr8 catback and tacked sri. Just wonder if $500 for a tuner would make the 15hp gain feel any faster...

You guys need to understand something, it's not so much about how much "faster" it will be but how the car will feel; throttle response, low-end torque, smoother powerband, cleaner air/fuel ratio, VTEC point around 4200rpm.
A tune will also fix something very important; stock ECU sometimes think you're using regular gas. Yes. While datalogging we saw the ECU pull timing like crazy at some random places and I was using 94 octane gaz, thats what honda ECU do on these cars...
It will actually be faster anyway, I managed to cut 1 second on a lap of 1:00 with shit break pads without trying. I plan on going back when my EBC pads get here. The car feel like it lost 300 pounds, it's lighter, easier to drive around, I had to adjust how I was used to press the throttle when taking off cause now its effortless.
This was my fastest lap, at some point you can "see" that under 4500rpm its actually capable of moving. Keep in mind that 1:02 on a track like this for a such a heavy car its really, really fast.
The tune completely changed the car and it I had to buy another 4g TL, that would be the first thing installed.

That's awesome, beat, glad you're enjoying it. Looking good on track, too!
The drive by wire throttle maps were made available to modify as well, so now there's even more adjustments available as far as overall drivability. I'm very happy with the feedback I keep hearing and I hope everyone is enjoying their units!

For fuel tuning? This processor is much more difficult to create custom code for. I'm not really sure at this point whether it will be done or even worth doing.

Wouldn't MAP be needed for boost applications? If yes, then you'd sell a ton more units once we can strap a rotrex or turbo on there!
#279
MAF can be used for boost tuning there's just not as many tuners who understand MAF tuning.
