Greetings fellow RDXers

Does anyone have any Hondata maps or calibration files for the RDX they'd be willing to share? The Hondata software includes a few different ones for the 2019 RDX, but the first gen RDX has only the factory map along with Hondata's map for a stock RDX.

I just replaced the stock airbox with the K&N kit for the RDX, and am wondering what (if anything) I should or could do in FlashPro to "tell" the car its getting more air. I do plan on having a proper dyno tune done once my ATLP exhaust arrives.

Ty in advance all

 

They're locked to the vehicle you have to remove it from the car then reset it to factory to do that with the flash pro.

 

Don't worry about an intake tune, the calibration that Hondata supply is more than capable of adjusting for any increased airflow that will result.

 

Ditto

 

The FlashPro comes with seven base maps for the first gen RDX, including one specifically for an RDX with the K&N intake only. The file name is RDX-2007-6-K&NCAI.

 

Thanks for all the replie guys.

I did end up finding the Hondata Vault, and tried some of the maps available there. However, I've realized that because I have the CARB version of the flashpro, many of them will not load.

It does appear the optimized Hondata map for the stock RDX is adjusting fuel consumption based on the increased airflow as feralcomprehension mentioned, so I'll be sticking with that for now. Planning on having Steve @ E-tunez do a custom map once my ATLP exhaust arrives.

 

Have you spoken with him yet about tuning with a CARB version? Very limited with what you can actually do. Many people have run into issues where the calibration their tuner sent them will not load because it’s not “approved.”

 

Indeed I did. Found this out when many of the basemaps in the Hondata vault (including the one you mentioned above) would not load onto my Flashpro.

When I asked about CARB tuning, Steve sent me this reply:

He mentioned a CARB tune would be cheaper than a full non-CARB tune so IMO it'll be worth it.

 

Even if you have a full flashpro, some of the baseman's are locked off as later RDX's had different ECUs, if I recall correctly.

 

That might explain why the RDX-2007-6-K&NCAI and a bunch of other maps are included with FlashPro under the '07-'09 RDX, but not under the '12 RDX.
