I have a 2008 Civic Type R (FD2) and am considering Flash Pro as my tuning tool. I currently have (on order) J's Racing 70mm exhaust (cat-delete) and a J's Racing header. I'm sure with just these mods, I can get away with a base map tune. However, I also want to do cams (maybe IPS-K2) and I know I'll need a tune for this.
The problem I am running into, is I'm on a small remote island of Japan, and the majority of tuners here work with PowerFC and nothing else. I've been hunting for months, and I can't find anyone here who can tune Hondata.
What are my options? If I found someone in the US with an Si running the same cams with full bolt ons, would I be able to use their map safely? I know there are differences between the K20A and the K20Z3, which is why I'm asking how safe it would be.
If I can't do this, I'm just gonna have to go with a Japanese company by mail-order (Feel's, Backyard Special, etc) and I was hoping to not do that, since it's about double the cost, and only they can do adjustments.
I have no tuning knowledge whatsoever, the FD2 is my only car, so I'm not going to learn to tune on such an expensive motor.
I'd appreciate any help Hondata, if I could get some kind of encouraging answers/solutions, I'm ready to order the FlashPro now.
Thanks!
Jason
