JDM ACCORD CL7 EURO R
Posted: Wed Nov 14, 2018 8:59 pm
Hello,
When I first look at ktuner and contact them there is no certain info about ktuner works on jdm euro r. I send some pictures inside the orm rbc ecu they said it can work if I buy other oem ecu but there is no certain info so I paid double the price and bought kpro + custom harness. In time I sold them for some reasons and later saw some guys tuned jdm euro r with ktuner but no exact info again (which code ecu should I buy, is everything work or which calibration I startwith) but I decided to buy ktuner and try. I tuned my car two days ago and open a new topic to clearly explain my experiences. My car doesn’t have smart key and navigation, so I don’t if ktuner work with euro r’s with smart key and navigation.
I’m using RAD code ecu. Since the ecu you is rad you must use rad calibration as a starting point (I tried prb reflash first because k20z1 is the closest to euro r k20a engine, share same part no camshaft, only .5 higher compression. Engine starts with prb reflash calibration but gauges, ac, check engine light did not work). Rad ecu is from a k24a1 or k24a4 engine so its not power vtec, cams have 2 lobe on intake and 1 lobe on exhaust. So that calibration has vtec point 2200 thats why you need to copy all parameters from a prb calibration and later drive the car and start to tune it. I noticed that oem front o2 sensor work with rad ecu so you can use it for closed loop. Some of the features of ktuner like adjustable launch control, anti lag on launch control, real time tuning did not work on rad ecu. But you can still tune your car for everything (big cams, big injectors, other map sensors etc). There is no 50 degree map in calibration but you can use 40 degree map and rotate the camshaft to 50. I don’t know if possible but may be Ktuner add that features in future updates.
These are the info I remember now if you want to ask someting just reply to this message.
