VTC angle

[HondaRacer]

I emailed Doug at Hondata a few months ago, it seems like they are working on something and that it should be back at the end of this year...fingers crossed!

wow, that is great news !

From discussion I've had with other members, I don't think the stock cams will surpass 140kW atw. As oongie said; the biggest gains would be in midrange torque. With the stock 25VTC Chris F was able to make gains of 30kW atw in the midrange, so with a 45VTC it'd be very interesting...

Oongie, if you're planning on running 45VTC then I'd invest in an RBC manifold

with stock cams car is capable of exceeding 140kw WITH higher rev limit with 8,400rpm rev limit, stock cams can get up to about 155kw depending on other mods

where you get K-Pro ? hondata don't offer dual K-Pro anymore Without good engine managment you won't get smooth engine work with 06 tsx cams and 45 degree VTC.

dont offer dual ecu anymore?!?! thats gay!

meh wasnt that great, you still lost cruise control with that setup

^nah not too concerned about cruise control, dodnt know where to put my feet when its in cruise mode lol

What mods did you have eur003act and how much power you put down?

i wonder if there could be another EMS besides k-pro that can also control VTC.
My budget has become a bit tighter since we are buying our first home as well as some investment plans.

Im going to go toda or weapon r header, legalis r catback, 06 tsx intake cam, VTC and an EMS that can tune VTC.

it's possible with Unichip to control VTC, but you need to play with aditional relays. Good tuner can mod Unichip to control VTC

How you tuning with all these mods ?

its was running 133kwatw without tuning lol

tuned now with Greddy Emanage... (figures are on different days so not comparable tho)

was looking at adding vmanage to fatten up my midrange...

need to sort out my gearbox first (wrong bearing was installed) so i can have my LSD back in... cant put all that power down in 1st without spinning the wheel

Impressive what the stock ECU can handle, now just for Hondata to release a flash pro or similar for our cars !!!!!!

Please explain which additional relays you are talking about - product code / description / photo

Last I checked, relays were switches. So I am also wondering how do relays allow a Unichip to control VTC.
