KTuner swap FAQ
Posted: Thu Sep 26, 2013 2:35 pm
I am putting this together for people that are using KTuner on a swap car.
Does my speedo work if I have a 02-04 (05 on EP3) speed sensor?
Yes. The ECU can be set to read the correct speed with these older transmissions. The speed sensor can be teed and sent to the cluster to display vehicle speed without a speedo healer.
If I have a 02-04 harness and swap harness, what do I do?
The easiest way to is get a KTuner ecu "jumper" harness (Retail $150). It will convert your 02-04 harness to a 05-06. The plugs are the same, you can repin, but it would be the hardest way. We will NOT offer tech on re pining it. The third way is using a 05-06 rsx harness or 03-05 element harness. Swap harness for 05-06 ECU will be coming shortly.
What is KTuner? Can it be tuned?
KTuner is a flashed based system that changes and adds custom code to a newer ECUs. IT IS NOT A PIGGYBACK. The fuel, timing, cam angle, and many other settings to the ECU. KTuner is a programmable tuning solution based on the factory ECU.
What is a KTuner Swap ECU?
A Ktuner Swap ECU is a 05-06 ECU with factory maps and disabled immobilizer, emissions (For off-road use vehicles only), and most of the sensors you do not need for a swap car. The Swap ECU CAN be flashed/upgraded to an end user board (self tuning) or custom tuned by a dealer.
What is KTuner reflash ecu?? Does it help my swap?
KTuner reflashed ECUs are the same as the Swap ECU, but with a dyno tuned reflash. KTuner has 3 reflashes for the RSX Type-S and 1 for the RSX Base. This gives an economy option to custom dyno tuning.
Feel free to add if you have a question.
