Well, stop looking at it and put it on already!

 

Looks the the same as the Hondata, same function different color.

We have throttle by wire right.. this pkg?

Yes, most of the thermal k20 intake manifold gasket function the same.


We have Drive by Wire (DBW) throttle bodies.

Yep.. that is the one I linked in the 8th gen forums.

So its just in essence the RBC manifold is a factory manifold that has just proven to flow alot better than stock?

The RBC and RRC are the highest flowing OEM K20 intake manifold to my knowledge.

 

Both are basically plug and play with our K-23. I don't see that application anywhere online?

Oh man.. I may have to add something to my list!

 

The only modification you have to do is cut off the water neck. It's easy to do.

 

Soon FI retunes are 150. I have 4 feet of snow on the ground and a unheated garage. The injectors are easy but going to do it all at once. Ive got my second revision coming and its quick with just the intake , I can't wait for the dp. I wrapped it last night. Should keep temps down in the summer real good. I'm on the hunt to use a heated garage to do the install soon I hope haha.

 

Yeah, a cold garage is never fun!

 

I am very interested in doing the FlashPro on my RDX! how easy is it to reflash my RDX? all i have to do is buy the Hondata FlashPro, plug it into my car, then hit the program button on the FlashPro?

 

Hello!
Step 1. Buy It!
Step 2. Download the FlashPro manager to your PC.
Step 3. Load the flash to the FlashPro.
Step 4. Plug it into your OBDII when the key on accessory and flash away!
Its super simple.

 

Is there only one flash to load for step 3?

 

no. you would pick which ever map corresponds to your modifications.

 

Yes, the FlashPro software comes with a number of basic recalibrations. They're mild upgrades from stock, but if you want to get the most out of it go for a custom tune. If you go through VIT as most on here eventually do, he'll tell you exactly what to load to the FlashPro box, along with a couple YouTube videos detailing the whole process. It really is quite simple.

 

Kind of an old thread but relevant to my interest. Wife got a new car so the RDX is now my winter/second DD along with a new/old Jag. Needless to say a 15 year old Supercharged Jaguar is taking up A LOT of my time these days.

I go the Hondata tune years ago when it first came out. Even then I had a DP and K&N drop in. Since then my DP has been replaced (one of Don's original, replaced with CPE year ago). So my mods are a K&N drop in, CPE and a gutted midpipe.

Question:
Is there an updated "basic" tune for my mods? What would it cost and is it really worth the time/effort?

I do not plan to mod any more as the car is at 155k and resources going elsewhere. If it was easy and I could get a good bit out of it then I'd jump.

 

i can tell ya that flashpro has come a long way. its worth it and if your not going to try to shoot the moon it will give you a lot of flexibility. one gentleman has an E-85 tune with only mods being injectors, fuel pump, and and an intake. ran a high 13 second 1/4 mile.
i have a full exhaust worked stock frame turbo intake injectors and a fuel pump and ran a best of 13.677 in the 1/4 mile. and we both are running custom tunes on flashpro.

 

fletch knows his rdx is bad a$$

 

13.68 is mid 13's

 

couldn't remember what you ran sorry. i suffer from sfb
