Would like to know if anyone is actually running a JRSC from a rsx? If so did you have to do any mods? What did you do for the DBW? I know I have to use the hasport adapter plate, and I will want to buy the merc racing bracket to use the auto tensioner. I have an rsx charger at home and hoping I can use it.

Second, is anyone running an Aem Fi/c? Ive seen post of people saying it doesn't work with tsx, but Ive seen guys with tl's using this. I hear the reason is that they cannot modify the vtec engagement from 5k to 3k.. I have emailed aem, this is the email and the response

Hi.

Just wondering some info.

I have a 2005 Acura Tsx with the Hondata Reflash. I will be installing a Jackson racing supercharger this summer and was hoping to use the Aem FI/C, but from what I have read on the Acura forums from guys who have tried say everything works good besides that fact that they cannot change the vtec engagement making it not possible to properly tune, Maybe they are just doing something wrong but would like to know if it is actually possible to modify vtec as I will need to go from 5k to 3k. I really do not want to use Hondata Kpro.

Thanks, any help is appreciated


Response:

Rocky,
The VTEC engagement can be changed. In the F/IC software, there is a setting for a “switched 12v output” that can be triggered to come on at any RPM or TPS value. This output can be wired to your VTEC solenoid to trigger VTEC at any RPM you would like (assuming the solenoid has sufficient oil pressure).

I don't want to use kpro, or flashpro. It's just to much of a headache, using two ecu's or swapping ecu, losing cruise control, vsa etc.. I can get aem fi/c for Compared to Hondata $1200+++.

Just trying to figure some stuff out. I'm not looking to make 350whp+++. It's a daily driver and just looking to get a little extra out of the car.

Thanks guys

 

anyone??

 

Using Hondata Flashpro is the way to go for any serious engine performance on the TSX.
Using the OEM Honda ECU is superior to any add on or standalone engine controller.
Even the awkward Honda K-Pro dual ECU solution wasn't nearly as clean or without "bugs" as the Flashpro.

In other platforms, Mustang, Camaro, diesel trucks, etc, once the ECU was cracked by the aftermarket, all the other tuning solutions faded away.

Start shopping for a used 2007-08 TSX ECU...

 

Ok So seems like aem fi/c won't work out so good. If I keep going with the charger then I'll have to go FlashPro. If I'm using flashpro will everything in the car still work i.e Cruise, vsa, cluster etc.,?

And since using the jrsc the tb are different do you guys think I should be able to just fab a bracket so I can keep the stock tb for dbw purpsose. I need to have cruise I use it every single day..

My buddy keeps telling me that I should be make 300whp do you really think I would make this. 10psi pulley and water/meth kit?? I don't really need that much hp but could be fun.
