Would like some help finding a shop near Tampa with ktuner experience that can tune my 06 base rsx. Had my car at shop for dyno tune and he told me to sell the ktuner and buy kpro. I think he had little experience with it and was Frustrated with it.
Basically told me it was crap and to buy a kpro.
Skunk2 intake manifold (port and polished)
Skunk2 tb
Short ram air intake
Dc race header
2.5 inch exhaust
163 whp and 135wtq at 80% throttle because the tps sensor from what he says need to be switched to a type s because its putting car into limp mode at
Wide open throttle.
Any help would be appreciated

Re: Dyno tuning help in Tampa Florida
80-83% is pretty standard for 02-06 RSX. Swapping to a Type-S TPS would yield the same results. If he took a look at the WOT TPS thresholds he would have realized that it's setup to operate just fine with this percentage. That also wouldn't put you into limp mode, so if you're going into limp mode there's something else going on.

Re: Dyno tuning help in Tampa Florida
Idk bro im just going by what he told me. He showed me a pic of a base tps and type s tps and how they are angled different in position. My throttle body is a skunk2 type s 70mm so i guess thats the reason it need a type s. Im still thinking its best that i find a more experienced person for ktuner because he thinks its garbage. I was given a to do/suggestions list and Literally the first thing said( sell ktuner, buy kpro). Anyway im going to get the tps and hopefully it works and my car is working right again

Re: Dyno tuning help in Tampa Florida
Type s tps fixed it but still feels like it has less power than before with stock tb and intake manifold. It feels more lethargic and slow than before like its got to much air or fuel and bogs. Its bad enough that im tempted to uninstall everything back the the way it was. Thanks linszter for the info and I'm familiar with phearable.net as they are who i purchased the ktuner from
Re: Dyno tuning help in Tampa Florida
If that's with the custom tune download it and save a copy if you don't have one already, then try the built in basemap.

Re: Dyno tuning help in Tampa Florida
Kind of off subject but I didnt want to start a new topic. As I stated in a earlier post the car felt more sluggish after the skunk2 manifold and tb install.
I downloaded the dyno tune that the tuner made and compared it to a base map from ktuner. He change the VTEC engagement and disengagement from
Lower (eng 2,200) (diseng 2,000) to (eng 4,000) (dis 4,000) and the upper engage and disengage to(4,000)-(4,000). I feel like this is why its so sluggish under 4,000rpm. If i was to change it back to 2,200-2,000 and see if it helps low rpm acceleration would it cause any major issues with the motor?
