Check out Hondata K-pro or FlashPro. They should be able to do the job just fine. Good luck on yr build!

Hi guys,

Let the installation begiiiiiiiiiiiiiin !!

from tomorrow pictures of the installation process will be posted. Only one thing, I'm still not sure what should I do with the management system. nobody does hondata for this car without any problem! they say its gonna be released next month ! I don't know what should I do . should I go with a piggy back ?

This is vital decision that you have to choose. If you planning for low boost pressure application, piggy back could do the job IMO... But, if there is a plan to increase the boost pressure later on, then stand alone would be the only solution. Not to mention your engine internal parts needs to be strengthen and upgrade of fuel supply (fuel pump, injectors, etc)...

Discuss further with your engine builder/tuner and get his opinions on this matter.
Remember, build it once and build it right.:biggrin: Good luck mate

p/s: I was wondering wh:smokin:ether your build configuration will be based on K23A1 configuration found in Acura RDX

Well fuel pump will be changed as well as injectors ;) but its gonna be 10 psi boost only . The problem is that the configurations using hondata is much much more advance and complete . However piggy backs r not that bad too ... This car has a k20z2 engine which is same as acura csx . But this turbo and everything has been installed for the first time in here so i cant say its based on any previous project or not

10 psi is almost 0.7 bar. Are you going to retain stock internal?

On the engine management, of course they will be some pros and cons either to choose stand alone or piggyback. Choose according your requirement/needs. I am pretty sure you did a lot of research for your project, and know what's the minimum parts and hardwares required. But if you have got enough budget, opt for standalone. Good platform for future modifications/upgrades.

BTW, Acura RDX is running on 2.3 i-VTEC turbo, came out stock standard from factory. It's a SUV (like CR-V).

Yep , stock internals ! For engine management , my second choice is HKS standalone which costs like 3500 RM . Hondata costs like 3K- 3.4K so its not that much difference . One of the problems i have is the o2 sensor which can be eliminated by hondata only ! With HKS I can just somehow cheat the O2 sensor but i cant eliminate it .

Guys there is a problem with the package . This package is made for left hand drive cars. Manifold doesnt mach , the power steering is on the turbo's way ! The guy should design one for it an it takes 2 weeks to install . Do u guys know any manifold which has short outlet pipes and with the header more to the left ( if the header is at front of u ) ?
