So once you pay for a tune they will keep re-tuning when you add new parts?

I see.. just looked at it. Its only if the mods don't change.

Unlimited Revisions! What does this mean? As long as the mods on the vehicle do not change, we will continue to tune the vehicle until it runs properly, whether this takes 10 "revisions" or 100 "revisions" to the calibration. The most important thing is to make sure the vehicle is running 100%!

Either way.. this would be the way to go once you have all you bolt on's\mods done.

I wonder if they have a base map with all the basic bolt on's already
(Cp-e, ETS, ATLP, RV6..ect)

Jake, future possible mods would be intake and injectors...but still on the fence as of now. Unfortunately I have more hobbies than funds so I have to pick and choose!

That's for the post Jake.

You along with others have made me decide to get the Pro.

I do have a dumb question, is there any way to see if my car is not already flashed? It feels quite quick for only 240hp.

Great question actually...it's always possible the previous owner did the ECU upgrade from Hondata, in which you actually mail it in, they flash it and send it back. Highly unlikely it has a FlashPro or custom tune on it, primarily because anyone with a bit of sense would return the car to stock so they could sell off the FlashPro after they sell their car. Chances are the car is stock...in the end the tuner crowd represents a very small portion of RDX ownership compared to say, sporty compacts or pony cars.

Soon it will be that sporty compact CUV that everyone over looks on the street.

Cool man! It's so worth it!!

I assume you could call Hondata with your vin and see if its on file. But like Tom said.. highly unlikely.

Either way you want to have the device handy if you make performance changes to reflash your tune.

Jake,
I don't offer any kind of basemap options for the forced induction vehicles, only custom tunes.

Thanks Marcus! I really hope so!

I will see how the custom map from Hondata responds. Then maybe a full tune from Vit.
But looking at Ken's tune with cams and a super nice rebuilt turbo, my 300 crank HP goal may be too high.

Not at all Jake. I'm sure in due time Hondata will get on the ball for us and 300hp will come with just a few bolt-ons.

Yes. I am confident in their tuning that is for sure.
What are some of the hiccups/struggles for us?

If you're looking for 300 crank hp, that shouldn't be hard at all. A decent tune, injectors and a couple choice bolt-ons will get your there without even touching the turbo. 300 at the wheels...now that's a different story. Good luck in your endeavors though!

The ability of a full EMS. If we can gain access fully to the ecu, then we would be golden! Because, currently the ECU even with the flashpro is fighting us.

Yeah, I'm sure I'm pushing well over 320 crank hp, but what matters is wheel hp!

Thanks Tom I'll keep you all in the loop. 300 crank is the goal.
We should assume 25-30% drivetrain loss?
Where are your with mods if any?

It's a little premature at the moment. As far as I know one of the following mods could be helping me out:


ETS intercooler
RV6 Downpipe
RBC intake manifold
ZDX throttle body
3" Exhaust
AEM Water/meth
Crower Stage 2 turbo cams
Crower dual valve spring
Crower retainers
RBC cam actuator
TSX timing chain tensioner
DW 800cc fuel injectors
DW 65c fuel pump
Buddy club P1 PS and Al pulleys
EverGreen turbo upgrade
Fluidyne crank pulley




VitViper is currently in the process of assessing my current situation, but haven't fix anything yet. Time will tell, so I'll let you know if it works out. "Might have to give AEM a call...."

That is quite the list Ken!

Did you put one of these on when you did your manifold.
Hondata K-Series Intake Manifold Gasket (K20A2, K20A, K20A3, K20Z1) | Hybrid Racing

Is this the one you got?
Ported RBC Intake Manifold Service | Hybrid Racing

Is the ZDX mod like this.. a larger diameter bore, but from Honda?

I love looking at those RV6 DP's.. so awesome!

When are you getting that stuff installed?

Did you get this... cause unless he is doing re-tunes for free on it, the site says its $99.00 for a re-tune request..

Every tune comes with a limited lifetime guarantee for the vehicle and the original purchaser of the tune. What this means is that even after we are finished tuning, as long as the vehicle modifications do not change, you will never have to purchase a retune if the tune ever needs a touch up either due to weather variances or any other anomolies (for example, the oxygen sensor was faulty and the fueling needs a touch up after a new sensor is installed). This does not mean you are subject to free retunes if you change the modifications on the vehicle. The retune fee for mod changes is very competively priced as it stands!

I used the Golden eagle k20 intake manifold gasket.

I got the intake manifold, ZDX throttle, and spacer from PRL Motorsports. (bored, ported match to ZDX 70mm TB)
