Vit Tuned Thread
I made this for anyone who has questions about getting a vit tune Etune for the RDX. I've had a couple people Pm me about how it works and how I like it so far. Its just amazing and smokes the hondata map. The process is very cool, fun and exciting also. I have not had a revision from him that I could not daily drive 45Min each way to my work..thats how good the driveability is during the tuning process. Any other questions just shoot away.

But we hope to change this.. The more people with custom tuned RDx's that complain the better. I am on my 3rd revision with my dw800's and its getting very fun and scary at times, with how fast this thing picks up steam. Turn around time for a new revision is usually 24 hours and he starts alot of people off on the hondata map then tunes from there. I am going to make a video tomorrow of where my tune is at.

Ummmm a dyno shows actual results. Not sure how posting a speedo video trumps dyno charts. You can watch back to back videos for hours and try to count how long it takes for 0-100 but a dyno shows real gains right then and there.

Agreed. What doesn't help are a bunch of random dynos from different people with no baselines, as every dyno can indeed read differently. But if one person does a baseline pull, then follows up with a tuned pull on the same dyno under similar conditions, then you have actual, valid results. And since we're focusing specifically on tunes here, you can do back to back pulls just a few minutes apart to compared tuned vs. untuned. I'm going through VIT now, and if one of the car groups around here does a dyno day in the near future I'll try to get a couple pulls in for reference. Don't hold your breath though. haha

Seems like it would simply be a factor adjustment (i.e. 410cc OEM to 600cc would be x1.46 and 800cc would be x1.95).

Anyone aware of a way to adjust the fuel economy calc for larger injector flow? Not sure if the dash readout CPU is inside ECU or standalone and fed info from ECU.

no but I can tell you if your in the 45-46 on the car then your really getting more like 20-22mpg at least on 800cc dw.

i saw 505 miles left after fill up today. Did a oil change and see how it goes. Before it would suck gas and the gauge would go down.. its wayy better than stock but dont trust the dash. I have some new plugs to install to and will keep track from there. looking into run the zdx throttle body on the rwc intake manifold.. seems easy to port match the manifold, but getting off the intake manifold is going to be how hard? Every other tune i have had on my old 2.0t fsi vw motor i lost mileage.. kind of amazed how i gained it vs stock. Ill let ya guys know how the TB upgrade goes when i do it.

If you actually get 500 miles out of that tank...well that'll be impressive. Like 28 mpg impressive. I've broken 450 once - on a full highway run from Phoenix to Los Angeles. And that's on a FWD model. Best of luck to you, but you'll probably end up around 350-400 miles on that tank if you drive carefully.

The mid i s pretty damn close let me tell you. I'm also lean until like 4000 rpms. I refilled the other day and It was up to 525. Stupid me forgot to reset the trip but will do it next time and get a better number. All I know is my gauge doesn't suck down like it used to. 3rd gear pulls I'm at close to 110-115.

For those of you going through the process, have you ever had the VSA light come on when you started datalogging? Had that happen to me this morning...as soon as I started the logging the VSA triggered. I turned the car off and on again, restarted the data and no issue after that. Just trying to see if it was indeed related or if just coincidental and there may actually be something potentially wrong with the VSA system.
I also did my front brakes recently, but it has been a few weeks and nearly 1000 miles of driving. If I screwed something up there I imagine it would have surfaced sooner.

What year RDX? What is the ignition limit in these areas?
This is happening on all years of RDX from what I've seen so far. If I reduce boost to below a certain point I stop seeing massive ignition retard in that area -- I can email you logs from previous testing if you like.

So I had the vsa light come on this morning on a drive. It was vsa / sh awd. No cel just those 2 lights. It did not restrict the boost but on the awd screen I had no power going to the rear wheels. Pulled over cycled the key and went away. It was very strange.
