2006+ K24 cam confusion

[TheSaint]

old thread - but the best that a search came up with

does anyone know if the 2006+ Euro has the better intake cam like the US TSX does?

do our australian CL9 euro's have the same cam specs from 2003-2005 and then the better intake cam from 2006+

basic question is would the AUDM 2006+ or USDM 2006+ euro/tsx intake cam be a good upgrade for a 2004 model 6mt euro (K24a3)
(would be installed along with toda 40deg VTC)

Im running the 06 intake can in my 03 CL9 paired with a pinned 40 degree vtc and it's awesome to drive. A cheap upgrade DIC. You will need flashpro/kpro to run it with a good tune. I got mine e-tuned from vitviper from etunez who I recommend. My car no longer drives like a euro.

[TheSaint]

with the 06 intake cam and 40deg VTC - do you HAVE to run engine management?

because a K-Pro is in the region of $1500 and to get the flash pro to work on the earlier TSX you have to buy an 06+ ECU, harness and flashpro - which works out to be around $1000

or is the flash pro plug and play with our older euro's?

[hanzzi]

You need to have engine management to benefit from those mods. Flashpro is not plug an Play with any of the AUDM CL9. Out of all my mods Flashpro was the most expensive. You need to spend abit of money to have fun.

Flashpro is about $1500-1600 + tune

Not sure about K-pro

theres also the up and coming ktune btw

[TheSaint]

yeah iv been reading about the new ktune

i have seen K-pro around locally at the 1500$ mark
might just save pennies and jump on that

pretty keen for engine management - one of the best mods i have done on any other car

i tune myself though - not keen on letting other people do it
have alot of hands on experience with S300 - havnt use the k-pro or flashpro yet tho

i know i would need management to get the most out of those mods - but will i get desent gains/benefits on the stock ECU?

I highly doubt the ECU's gonna even use the VTC/Cam so thats out

CT-E icebox and headers are good but you'll need a high flow cat with it.

[TheSaint]

already have the icebox - want to get headers and cat asap
not really keen to loose the cruise control - do ALOT of travelling in the week and thats the main reason for buying the car

you cant swap out the VTC and cam and put in an 08+ ECU with the hondata adapter and leave it to learn?
or just do the cam on the original ECU and let it learn? or is it too much of a change?

put a CU2 ECU in CL9?

CU2 has a 2-lobe vtec camshaft instead of 3-lobe in the CL9.

Highly doubt it'll work. at all..

[TheSaint]

so which intake cam is the upgrade for our CL9 - the 2008+ or 2006+

more confusion lol

2006+ , post facelift is meant to have improvements.

[TheSaint]

ok so with 2006+ cam, intake, headers + cat (forget VTC for now)
the stock ecu wont allow for the gains on the cam? - the american guys say that it can

my question (now clarified) would be, would it be beneficial to upgrade to the 2006+ ECU as well as the cam?
