if you have 1500 in the pocket the Hondata FLashPro + Acura TSX 07-08 ECU is the best option for you! E-manage Ultimate is good only to be put in recycle bin......
VTC angles are written in ECU, OEM CL9 ECU can operate till 25* only. If you install 50 gear it will be moved till 25 only. DC5 type r cams are decent for CL9 Euro, best cams are intake TSX 06+ cam...
not when you do full throttle - ECU goes to open loop (you hit accelerator pedal to floor), "self learning" is done only when ECU is in closed loop. In such way works Honda ECU and most other ECUs.
if you put RBC or RRC manifold and don't tune ECU you will looser power - tested long time ago. All tuning must begin from poper Engine managment. Even when you put exhaust header air fuel ratio goes...
I'am from Europe, what it changes ? I do tunes on real dyno and on the street when have enough time. Build engines for friends and racing teams which use K20 or K24 honda engines. It's my hobby. ...
I allready said each person has own preferences how all should be done. Ok there is tuner in 1000km, but makes crap tunes. Book and tune the car, you would be happy ?
I suggest you to talk with real tuners which do real Dyno tuning and remote one. All can be done corretly if you know what are you doing. I have made several remote tunes which work better then there...
Seems you don't know how remote tuning is done with FlashPro or other system which has logging. User makes logs (finds nice road without traffic and makes run in 3rd gear), tuner changes values and...
there is two options how create EPROM, only 1 option of them is better from other. There is no need to open ECU if you want to reflash, it's much easier if you have right equipment.
Ktuner is nice...
I agree that MoTeC and AEM is nice, but it's not so friendly when connecting all stuff. So for simple people there is less options.
I know all these russian guys, a lot of them allready swapped TSX...
In US junk yard we got used TSX 07-08 ECU for 250 USD with shipping to Europe. Anybody can find if search hard ! What point to use CU2 ECU in CL9 - nothing will work properly LOL !
piggyback is crap as it can't manage VTC properly ! And all power is made with right VTC angles in proper rpm ranges and load columns !
Some good news for first CU2 euro owners, works with OEM ECU:...
This Uni-chip is big crap, no options to manage VTC. Best option today is Honda FlashPro - can tune even remotely on the road, no need for real Dyno. Support Accord CL9 (need to change ECU from TSX...
it will never happen -CL9 Euro ECU and Acura TSX 04-06 ECU doesn't have full CAN BUS support. K-Line is too slow for programming and not reliable.
CAN speed is ~ 1,000,000 bits/second
K-Line uses...
