Hondata...Flashpro... +6 PSI ... my ongoing review

You can't flip that but it's just an on-off switch. I mean, it's one button to switch tunes on the fly.

If you mostly want to drive the stock tune keep Econ on and press again for the +6 tune while driving.

I'll have to call them. ECON mode blows

Hi! Just looking to flash my 2019 civic sport MT. Question to gtman.... What was the deal breaker for you to switch from hondata to ktune? From what I see if I’m not going to go crazy with custom tuning - hondata is the best option... Correct me if I’m wrong please?

I had the Flashpro CARB version which was very limiting. I had the choice to then upgrade to the Race Flashpro or KTuner V2. The V2 won out with it's touch screen convenience and the on the fly map switching.

But don't get me wrong, Hondata is a quality product and both tuners essentially do the same thing.

So FP CARB is +6 boost max, correct? How much boost do you run mow with ktune?

 

[gtman]

+6 max which means I was seeing maybe 19-20psi max. Right now I run a TSP stage 1 which is more like 24 psi.

I think Flash Pro logic is using a slightly different approach compare to KTuner. I have never used KTuner but I would say KTuner is more user friendly and easier to understand compare to FlashPro.

I switch to Flash Pro +3 PSI basemap after I notice very high knock control using my tuner map .

I didn't make any change to +3 PSI basemap from Hondata but the torque curve.

In my datalog, I notice MAP and BP went up between 14 and 22 PSI. Occasionally, I even saw boost pressure went up higher than 24 PSI in a very short second.

Do you need more updates like intake, intercooler for the TSP stg1?

Absolutely not.

Absolutely not.

24 boost sounds like +10 from stock... Do you think it’s safe for MT?

Wrong thread honestly. I'm not even on Hondata anymore. There are many topics, including mine, specific detailing the TSP tune.

Is it 100% safe? No tune is guaranteed. Do I think Derek Robinson is a master tuner and has created a fantastic tune? Yes.
