You know it's coming sooner or later. May as well get a thread on it.

What is KTuner?
KTuner is a new tuning solution for K series applications. KTuner was originally designed for use on the RSX platform, but can be used on a variety of applications including newer flash based vehicles up to current model year.

What can I do with KTuner?
KTuner allows full tuning of ignition, fuel, cam angle, and additional supporting parameters. Paired with essential datalogging parameters at high speeds, KTuner can be utilized to tune your application properly. KTuner also has custom developed features that can help you achieve your tuning goals beyond the factory capabilities.

What kind of hardware does KTuner require? How much is it?
For the older vehicles we have in-ECU hardware that gets installed directly into the ECU. For newer flash based vehicles we have hardware that plugs right into your OBD2 port. For more information and pricing see our KTuner systems page.

I just want a reflash. Where can I get that?
A KTuner dealer can reflash or dyno tune your ECU without the additional price of the end user system.


What if I want to be able to make changes myself?
Purchase a KTuner system that allows you to make changes yourself. Dealers and other tuners would be able to dyno tune you with this package.

I assume that this would void your warranty. Seems like it lets you play with internal settings. Cool if you know what you are doing, but has the potential to screw things up.

Especially on a turbo platform with direct injection (just look at the WRX and Mazdaspeed forums).

Can it be done? Absolutely. But you better know exactly what you need to monitor (knock, AFR, LTFT, STFT, etc)

The tuner is likely expensive, and I imagine that if you have to hire someone to do the labor for you as well. I might just wait it out and get a Type-R.

tuners are typically fairly cheap, hence their popularity. Especially on FI cars.

On modern ECU with direct injection? Not likely IMHO. A typical flash with dyno tune will likely cost around 700-1K. The tuner alone will go for 500-600 and will likely include an LCD for vitals monitoring.

and that's fairly cheap considering the types of gains that can be made. most tunes gain ~20 whp, what does that cost in motor mods?

Don't forget we're talking direct injection.

Fuel pump internals will likely be the first "mod."

Lol, KTuner is constant beta status -- it's still useless on the 9th gens and 8th gens years later.

Hondata Flash pro has more options.My two Lincolns maybe not yours.

What he saidoint_up_2:?Vit tuned my 9th SI with Ktuner and then got me a good deal on a flash pro and opened up my 2.4.He knows these Hondas like know other tuner does.My 2 Lincolns maybe not yours.

Vit e-tuned my 8th gen SI, I just did a base tune with him and it was awesome. I agree with you, if anyone is going to tune my 10th gen turbo, itll be him
