K24a2 swapped ep3 tune assist

Post by Burgturdler »

Like title says, I'm new to Hondas coming from the Subaru world and just swapped a k24a2 into my daily ep3. Running the base 04-05 kal and would like to get it etuned. Since I'm a new user I am unable to PM as of yet.

Noticing at idle it's a hair lean in the 15s and a touch rich cruising but I know the stock wideband isn't as accurate as the AEM X-Series I'm use to.

Mods:
02 EP3
07 TSX k24a2
KProV4
PRB manifold and TB
TSX 310cc injectors
Short ram intake
DC race header
Currently 2.5 straight piped (need to cut and refit old 2.5 full exhaust)
50 degree vtc pinned to 40
Type-s oil pump
5spd new stage 1 clutch

Welcome to Hondas. I myself have owned an EVO X and a Turbo FRS. I can assist with ETuning.

Much appreciated Ed. Let me know what logs you need initially and I'll get started on them. I've etuned via Cobb so I'm mostly familiar with the process. Kmanager is a little more hands on but I'll figure it out.

For my Evo I used ECUFlash and for the FRS I used BRZEdit. I have not had a chance to tune with COBB.
The datalogs are straight forward but the tuning process is a little longer as there are more tables to modify.

No worries. I'll get some normal driving logs done this weekend and post them. What is the rpm range you need WOT pulls to go to?

Here is a basemap. Load the file and datalog the car at normal driving. Make sure the car has reached operating temperature before starting the log. Like stated before, the tables have to be tuned 1 by 1 so we are starting with the VTC 0 non vtec table.

Cleaned up some of the fuel. Create a normal driving datalog and do two wide open throttle pulls.
For the WOT pull, reach 3000 rpm and hold it for 5 seconds then floor it. Rev it up to 7400 rpm. The rev limiter has been increased so that you do not hit the rev limiter and affect the fueling so do not go past 7400rpm. Also, make sure to do the pull on a flat road.

Rev matching while normal driving is significantly smoother.

Load the new file and create a normal driving log. We are moving to VTC 20.
