He did the Ktuner v2 for the fa5 with my car 7 months ago.... so much fun I have put 20 thousand kms since then and honestly maybe 500 km with out the -20 tune but I run it all the time..... I get super bad gas mileage but who cares. And it shoots flames and in the winter I don’t know why but it pop and bangs way more in the winter and I love it @tuningbynick you did such a good job dude. I hope you are ready to do a 2018 2.0L turbo accord soon
Immediately subscribed to your channel after watching you work together with Speed Academy. Awesome explanations on your tuning, be it Pros and Cons made to the engine. I am a mechanic in Singapore, totally respect the effort and ethics you've put in doing your work and making of videos!!!
Tuning by Nick keep it going man, i been doing my own street tuning on my 08 k24 swapped rsx alittle over a year and since i came across ya channel the past 2 months, your videos definitely helped me get better.
Nice! Thank you very much! I have been searching high and freaking low for a little over a month now on how to do this on Kpro! You are the man and your work is VERY appreciated !
Did this exact the same way while back when I saw your ktuner crackle tune video! I have kpro too and couldn't get it to work first time, I was modifying the first 2 columns but my decel was 2nd and 3rd columns. After I figured it out I got it to work perfectly. I only liked -5 and -10 settings and only with throttle since it only does it whenever you want it. Also kept it under vtec rpms and didn't check mark the fuel cut off delay also didn't modify the advance settings to keep the injectors open all the time. This way theres minal chance to damage anything if it's not doing it consistently. Also been waiting for your 2 step calibration cause haven't found a good values to shoot flames
The load coloumns might be slightly different in the map youre running, which may expalain having to use the 3rd column. It might also have been that the Fuel Cut off Delay check box. Checking off that box may help make it easier to modulate. The only concern with using the 3rd column would be to double check you arent affecting the timing values while cruising - Hope that helps a bit
@@tuningbynick Also... I'm going to venture a guess that your K24 is running well and in good health... maybe it's just the Honda community at large has a bunch of beat up K20s with half inch PTW gaps 🤣 (I'm sticking to my "I've got cams" for my excuse..)
@@tuningbynick So you're saying to check mark the Fuel Cut off Delay to make it work better? Cause on Ktuner Video you replied to me that to not check mark it?
Just as a data point for anyone trying to do this, it does wash out the cylinder walls causing there to be less oiling and more friction in the cylinders.
+1 on the aggressive two step next time if possible. It's kinda ricer but understanding what causes etc would be mint. Everyone wants to know how an AK47 tune works lol
@@tuningbynick Thank you for answering! Interested in how to configure all the VTC cards, on a stand or on the road, ignition and AFR. I have some experience, but only on the B-series, but there was no VTC.
Nick I didn’t see you adjusting the vtec tables . On your other crackle tune video with ktuner , you commented saying that there was more tuning involved . & that you were going to make another video .
Does it pop when revving or only while actually driving? I need the extra cool factor to impress my friends. Also thanks a lot for making these videos. When i get kpro i will shout you out for making such easy to follow videos.
One thing I did notice with KPro vs. KTuner, and this is with the same car, parts, everything, is that I had to actually drop the timing in the 1st 3 columns as the values for the map/kPa are a little different and when using say, 21.1inMg as the "cutoff" in KPro, it was almost impossible to hit the throttle enough to keep the injectors on without going into a value lower than where my timing was dropped. (Which I'm sure is due to my cams and the vac it pulls vs. Stock Z1 cams) Also no doubt KTuners Fuel Cut delay settings make this so much more convenient to do by gear. I got my PRB Ecu and a jump harness before I'd ever heard of KTuner 🤦♂️ Also nice video, very few people actually explain the tuning process properly, nice.
Also do you always notice that your actual timing in the "display" is significantly off compared to commanded value, but only when using negative values? For example you had asked for -20° and displayed -10°? I'm set to -12° and get a displayed -7°, I'll take a log and see what's happening, I never thought to datalog "burble bs".
@@bubblecash1 The first 2 wont even get you to less than like 23in of vac, even at idle my car only pulls a little over 24in and made it impossible for me to modulate the throttle, if I did the fuel cutoff method it worked but I really dont like having to do that unless I'm over ~4k rpm, I dont feel like changing my oil daily or not being able to shoot gunshots all the time lol. It is funny to do it in an Acura though,especially next to all the Subie boys.
Thanks - Did you try only 2 columns with the Fuel Cut Delay box checked? That may help, you just want to make sure the adjusted 3rd column is not affecting your timing while cruising
The difference in timing that you are seeing is that the ecu calculates some multipliers behind the scene. There is a "table" timing value and an "actual" timing value. We set table timing and the ecu works out and displays actual timing
You say on the video for ignition settings to go at 2krpm or slightly above. Does it hurt anything if I only want it to happen about say 3500? I would like the ability to more easily not activate it. I have been driving on -10 on and off for a long time though so not a deal breaker.
For overrun cutoff, if I were to set it to say 3k-4k rpm, that means injectors would shut off below those values correct? Meaning I would have to tap the throttle to pop if I set it to that?
I ran did this to my ep3 , sounds so sick ! Only problem I am having right now is that my launch control doesnt activate anymore. I am very new to using kpro .
Hey bro Hope you’re doing well, just wanna ask something. I want to have a crackle pop around 3000 to 4000 and I already change the ignition low speed and I was wondering if its necessary to change the ignition high speed as well? Looking forward for you response. Thanks! Love the content keep doing it!!
To be honest I don't think it would do much damage to the engine considering this is for only decel. It would probably be different if it was a 2 step tune though.
So I know this was a year ago. But I just did this and I’m running into an issue. It only pops and bangs without me on the throttle right around 2700rpms and under
I have wanted a little crackle on my dc5. I got the kpro v4 in it. And this looks simple enough. Is this bad on any part of the motor or car if this tune is ran regularly
Sounds awesome! Thanks for sharing. What exactly does a negative ignition timing means? When is the spark happening? Is it when the exhaust valves are open? I always wondered if this kind of popping happens because of extra fuel and no ignition or is it like an "antilag", that fires when the exhaust valves are opened.
The negative value means the spark is happening after TDC (Top Dead Center) - What you are hearing is the fuel igniting in the exhaust instead of the fully in the engine.
@@tuningbynick Nice! Thanks for clarifying that! Most tuners around here don't recommend this method because it fires when the exhaust valves are open, putting a lot of stress/heat on them.
Will the video for switchable cracke tune be on the pin E29 on the KPRO? That's how mine is wired for the rev range 4k-6k but I'd like to change that to 2k-6k but not sure how to access the tune that's on the switch
@@tuningbynick I just watched your advanced video and got it, mine is done the same use but used pin E29 so the eml light comes on to indicate the crackle tune is on, thanks a lot! I will lower the rev range for the crackles when I get a chance
Question: Can you use the overrun to also cool the Combustion Chamber? Im driving my DC5 as a rally-car shortly and i was thinking about using this (or the overrun-feature), to cool the combustion chamber when going racing.
In theory - combustion chamber cooling is the reason to use overrun. You would really need to install a Exhaust Gas Temp probe in the header to get it all setup properly tho
This RSX had a 8th gen Civic Si trans that does have a 4.7 FD, but the gear ratios are longer I have had a 2006 RSX Type S Trans with a 4.7 FD in the past and it was really good, i recommend that combo
The overrun settings on Kpro isnt like other cars - Its under "Advanced" - Check out the video starting at 11:00. Using that method of adjusting overrun wastes a lot of fuel tho
Hi nick nice video. I have an obd1 chipped (eprom) ecu for my 95 acura integra gsr, was wondering if its possible to get the crackle tune for this particular set up on my ecu?
My advanced settings don’t show any tables, just the titles and empty space under them. I’m running kpro v4 on a 2006 base RSX. Would anyone know the reason for that?
I just took a look myself - It looks like Hondata hasnt unlocked that feature for the Base model cars - I am surprised by this. Maybe email them to let people know that that people want that feature
I saw in your video that you said you are able to do this remotlely? I live in Calgary Alberta and I have a base 2002 RSX 2.0L K20A3 160hp with a Mugen exhaust tha I would like to do this to. Please let know know if you are able to assist me with this. Thanks!
It’s possible on certain cars with certain ECUs. Technically I don’t think it would be possible with Kpro unfortunately. In the fall when I’m not so busy with customer cars I will be doing a lot more of the how to videos
Tuning by Nick I’m working on an rsx with the k20a2 tho injectors all the time works but it’s excessive for my liking having fuel being dumped at all times Do other values have to accounted to change the overrun high and low cam?
