Thank you for this video, very informative. You deserve more views
Great video! Thanks! Looking to buy a 2020 si within next few weeks and will likely get KTuner in the future. Seems like a cool upgrade
awesome upgrade! Just don't drive the car like a racecar and you'll be good.
How about explaining each function on the ktuner. Some of us are still learning and may not know what k.cont is our iat1 iat2. I know there is a key online but not easy to understand if you don’t know cars that well yet. Just a thought. I haven’t found a video like that and it would be helpful to me 🤔
This is on the checklist for after my cr-z is paid in full.
You are literally the only person who has ever been thorough about how to switch maps. Nobody has ever said in any of the forums, nor has K tuner themselves explained in the manual that you have to cancel absolutely everything related to cruise control and hit the main button before you can switch maps. I thought either my device was broken or I was an idiot, but it was frustrating that I could not switch my maps, and I was stuck on map one. Everybody that bought this device that is as clueless as I am should see this video. Thank you for the thorough explanation!
Appreciate the comment. Let me know if you have any other questions. I sold my ktuner after I got rid of my si but still remember everything. Have to use hondata for my type r as ktuner said they will not support the new type r.
Im all new to this, I noticed folks with the v2 can view kcount parameters. I bought a v1.2 and downloaded the tunerview app and only have parameter for kret and kcon etc but no kcount.
Video started simple then got brainy fast lol but I'm new to this🤷🏾♂️
Can you run the same oil Recommended by Honda with ktuner phearable tune?? Anyone know??
Is what you're talking about with "valet mode" also with the version 1 ktuner?
Valet mode is really just map 1 with the on the fly map switching. It just changes the car to the stock equivalent tune.
What is a normal number for the knock control I’m seeing .49 cruising and .50+ after a few pulls I️ have a 19 civic sport hatch 6 speed and I’m stage 0 on v2ktuner
Also what is a good number for knock count mine is all over the place from 0 to 20’s sometimes I’m running 93 octane
I don’t really look at the knock count. Usually my knock control is .49 but I’ve had it go up to .6 or higher before depending on what brand of premium gas I use.
@@ThePropperWay thanks for ur reply
Where the hell do you live? It looks beautiful!
I live in Ny and my friend said that if i mount the ktuner on the window it could get me a ticket is this true?Do i need to hide my ktuner if so whats the point if getting the ine with the screen
No idea about state laws like that. Ktuners are meant for track use vehicles so legally you can’t really tune any car and drive it on the street but people do. Depends on the cop I guess. 3 years of driving with a ktuner on my window and never had an issue but guess it depends.
Where does your ECT 1&2 numbers usually sit @
Ect 1 stays between 177 and 183 depending on the day
hey i have a 2015 accord lx with a takeda intake and dual exhaust and i just tuned to stage 1 tonight with the ktuner v2 and i dont feel any difference at all in power something has to be off right?
Most likely it’s fine. That car doesn’t have a turbo or anything so that tune only makes you gain a few horsepower. On the cars that are turbo you can add 50 to 90 horsepower with a tune but for naturally aspirated engines like yours you’re going to get 10 or so horsepower. So you aren’t really going to feel a difference.
@@ThePropperWayohhh good to know thank you man! I’ll probably end up just returning it then till I can upgrade my car!!
So after unplugging ktuner, you have to reselect map 2 every time you start driving again?
If you unplug it then it goes back to map 1. If you leave it plugged in then you don’t have to reselect the map every time.
@@ThePropperWay does it drain your battery if you leave it plugged it
@@r60nhctuka14 No it shuts off with the car and turns back on when the car is turned on.
I have a 2019 Honda Civic hatchback with dp an intake with a k tuner v2 stock tune, I started getting a misfire and I think the k tuner broke my ecu.
I have a 2018 Honda Accord sport 2.0t and I’m actually having the same problem with the misfire but I flashed it back to factory and the problem is gone I think somehow the tune messed with the ecu and I emailed the people at ktuner and they basically just said a tune shouldn’t be causing the problem but it is the problem and I don’t know what to do
You should’ve tuned it to what it had on the car or else the ecu will read stock tune if you have stock parts
so you’re saying when you unplugged the ktuner you will need to flash tune again?
No when you unplug the tuner the car goes to map 1 of the tune
Hey bro I have a 2017 accord EXL I got a ktuner flash stage 1. But the device has a solid blue light, what should I do? (KTuner 1.2)
What step were you on when you got that light?
I would really contact ktuner. Their customer service is amazing and they respond quickly. Better to hear it from the people who made the device when you have issues.
Based off your knowledge, do you think there's a safe tune with k tuner for a 1.5 accord , to avoid problems or exceeding the max power and tq it can handle?
to be honest I have very little experience with the new accord and do not want to give you any bad information. I think a tune always pushes the limits of the cars and so it really a matter of if you arent willing to have something happen then don't tune the car. I was very nervous to tune my si and when I run the tune I barely ever run map 3 and I drive the car easy for the most part. car companies design cars for fuel economy and not power. you never know what the transmission and other parts of the car are capable of handling. If honda lowers the power to get better fuel economy then I bet they lower the quality of others parts as well to cut costs. no sense in having a transmission that can handle 300 horsepower and hard acceleration all the time if the stock car has 200 horsepower or less.
@@ThePropperWay thanks for the feedback. All things considered, I may just not do anything regarding a tune
I have the same car and was thinking the same. I think it may be safer to upgrade to the 2.0T, if you can afford it.
Can u help me with values on anit lag , I’m trying to figure out ignition timing atm I have it flashed to what was default and default minimum rpm , please explain this a bit too me if ur still around
hope you have a built engine if you are using antilag. fastest way to blow up your engine
@@ThePropperWay why would it ? Wouldn’t the turbo break first if anything
@@Leoksh hope you can afford to replace the engine when it blows. I’d recommend reaching out to a tuner like Derek Robinson to tune for you if you do not know what you’re doing.
Does it show how much horsepower your car makes?
It does not. It has no way of knowing that. You need a dyno for that.
Will the K-tuner void any warranties?
Technically yes. If they know it’s tuned or been tuned and you blow your engine they will laugh at you if you try to warranty it.
ThePropperWay if you flash back to stock would it still be voided
@@lordquads it depends. If you flash back to stock and can’t drive the car to reset all the lights then they would probably know something is up. If you can still drive the be the car to reset the lights then they could look in the cars computer log and see that it’s empty or close to empty. An excuse for an empty log could also be disconnecting the battery. I think It really depends on the dealership and how far they dig depending on what is wrong. I used to work at a dealership and so when we got my 2018 si I talked with my old boss (the service manager) and he said if I didn’t go crazy with bolt ons and tuned it he would keep my warranty. When I got my 2020 si from a different dealership and talked to them they said absolutely not. If I did anything like tune it and they could prove it then they would get rid of my warranty. Sorry for the long reply but I guess it depends on the dealership and what is wrong with the car. They also have to prove that the tune is what caused the failure. So if a window switch or something random stops working they can’t blame it on the tune.
Do you have to send in your ecu for a few days and you won’t be able to drive your car obviously but is it true you have to send it out to unlock it
For the type r you do. For the si you do not have to send it in. Just buy the ktuner, plug it in to the car to lock it, plug the k tuner into the computer to download tunes and then reflash the car. Be up and running a tune in under an hour.
@@ThePropperWay thanks for the response man just doing Some more research on it want to make sure it doesn’t beat on the car to bad? I do want my car to last a long time.
@@KFisher-un5fc if you want it to last as long as possible dont time it. Simple as that
@@ThePropperWay what do you mean don’t time it?
Sorry about all the questions lol I’m so new to the Honda life
Can u run the ktuner with a stick intake ?
I assume you mean stock intake? You can run a ktuner with a stock intake but certain aftermarket tunes require certain parts to be on the car. Most of the tunes that come with the ktuner can use the stock intake
@@ThePropperWay yeah I meant the stock intake and thank u I just wanted to make sure and clear that up appreciate it man
@@kavinlopez4182 no problem!
Great the opening of this video is just you talking nonsense
