Ktuner- The first tuning solution for the 4G TL
#521
No knock against you guy very thankful for the work you guys put in and so far my tuning experience has been beautiful. Greatly appreciate the work you guys do. Just curious if at least the MT guys may have some other options like the Accord V6 MT guys.
#522
The 13-16 Accord got a much easier processor to work with. 08-12 Accord V6 is in the same boat as you.

Still plugging away at this ECU, though, we'll see what happens.

Does the MT AWD have a boost option?

Whats up fellas?
im on the RL side of this forum but let me give al ittle background..
05 Aspec RL sits on the TLs 19" OEM rims, Pulley, Rv6 Jpipe, J37 Manifold with the upgraded TB, HFPCD (pending install) and Intake manifold spacer and this has mostly been done within 2 months including installing aspec lol .
So what I want to ask and with 500+ posts maybe its been mentioned but again 500+ lol
I would love to tune my RL my goal is 275whp assuming I put down 230hp add my currents mods and now possibly a tune maybe it's achievable (I think)
Can it be done? Has it ever been talked about the J35A8 engine with awd? Ive seen somewhere my RL engine is similar to the Type S engine in the 3g TL but we share AWD
Thanks guys for whatever you can do to help me

Best bet would be to see with the Type S side being your a KB1 and that your engine is basically the same as the 07-08 Type S. Your engine has the better cam shaft profile for sure. I would say 260WHP. But i am curious.. I know the Type S can upgrade there cams have you thought about it? and does Hondata or Ktuner has a option out for you to tune?
ive actually looked into cams but with my supporting mods I figure my money would be better spent with a tune.. Pulley, Jpipe, J37 manifold and throttle body off the ZDX, PCD or HFPCD are being weighed right now which I want ( probably PCD and add a resonator to my exhaust), and Manifold spacer I have on my RL
ive looked on HeelToe at upgrading my fuel injectors but I haven't looked much into them as of right now I have no options on tuners I'm hoping to find someone

i spoke with Ktuner earlier this week and I was told my RL doesn't use a CAN bus ECU? And said a standalone or piggyback tune would be my best option but they've never seen an RL tuned

Any potential risks from swapping ECUs? (speaking along the lines of not often do I see people doing it)
I could consider this but id have to speak with ktuner so were aware of whats happening

No clue, just an idea as the MDX's use a similar AWD system, use pretty much the same engine navi, etc.

Anyone know anything about the transmission I have in the KB1? Could i share the tranny with the Type S or the MDX? with the added HP i want to maintain good life on my tranny and I do have a transmission cooler but I want to ensure good life
#535
Did more digging and it may actually be a CAN ECU for 2005. It would surprise me, but everything points that's direction. We can setup a test to find out. Email me.

At risk of being repetitive, some on the forum say J-Pipe is best single exhaust mod; others say PCD's. This thread leans that PCD is better.
As far as total bank for buck, I would probably have to get help (pay) to have PCD installed, whereas I could do a J-Pipe myself. Is there a consensus, all else being equal:
If K-Tuner + PCD = say 30 whp (for argument's sake anyway).
What does K-Tuner + J-Pipe = __ whp?

That was my initial thought based on the year, but according to Acura the ECU part numbers outlined for 05+ are all CAN.

To give you a brief idea, download the K Tuner software, register your unit online, go to your car plug it to the OBD port and the USB cable to your laptop , ignition on and lock it to your ECU. After that you select and upload one of the preloaded tunes that match your mods, it will erase your base (stock program) and the upload the selected tune to the ECU, it will then ask you to switch off and then turn on the ignition to complete the process. Once completed, you remove the unit from the ECU and you are all set.
That is a simple breakdown of the process, however be sure to follow all the instructions on the demo video and you will be golden.

The unit comes with some preloaded tunes that match various mods. You can watch the video on K Tuner website on how to hook up the unit and how to upload a tune,it is all there and the process is quite simple.

There's a rather long back order list on the V2 at the moment. Hope your V2 was already in stock somewhere.

Has anyone modified their throttle control maps via the ktuner? I usually stick with the downloadable maps since I don't want to "F" anything up by just playing around. If so can you share please. I hate the lag in exceleration when I try to go for WOT. Also I wish there was a "Ktuner for dummies" or newbs site.

Well I got my tune today. I lost my job literally the day after I put ordered the v2 KTuner. The tune shop was awesome enough to cancel the order and do a custom tune for me without the v2, so I saved some needed cash and got a tune and flash anyways.
I got roughly 20whp gains. I have before and after dynos which I can post later when I am on my computer! I got mine done in Red Deer for any of you Alberta folks. Awesome shop and great people. I'm very happy that I went, car feels like it has more consistent pull now.
