[Euro] Hondata Update

i have seen people using kpro when doing a k24a3(euro) engine swap, why can they use it fine? is there something you can do to make it work?

As Aaron has said, the K-Pro doesn't work with the electronic throttle (DBW) of the K24 on the CL9. From what I know, you can change the throttle body to a standard wire-driven one (e.g. from a K20) to get it to work with the K-Pro. I think there's a K-Pro version coming "soon" that does support the CL9's DBW.

So hondata will now be able to control the euro drive by wire or does that still have to be removed??

so mainly the only issue with the k24 is the drive by wire?? what are the advantages of the drive by wire? is it a good thing or not??

i heard kpro can be used with our car but you will lose your cluster and other electronic stuff.

My understanding is that the DBW throttle is more responsive and that the jtune reflash will retain the use of the DBW, hence the delays...........

i dont see why people dont convert to cable throttle bodies...

Instrumentation is kinda useful when driving. Hondata also reported that air conditioning and VSA stopped working when they converted to cable

DBW is not more responsive than throttle cable. that's opposite. ALL the type R model are not DBW. Hondata use reflash for 03-05 above models because their K-pro can't run DBW. DBW purposes to be daily oriented vehicles, smooth running etc. On track, you'll lose time with DBW. I have seen in US skunk2 project TSX with K-pro lost the dash controls and features.
