Melissa Holland’s Biggest Fan to an extent I would assume. I wouldn’t recommend it but I’m not a tuner, I would honestly ask them what’s the pros and cons are.
Noe Varela there are no pros, just cons. The extra fuel added to make crackles and pops in the exhaust means more fuel consumption, possible damage to the cat, possible damage to other exhaust components (not very likely). And general combustion in the exhaust system isn't really good for the engine too.
Yes its true you are one of the first to share this settings. Its not a necessary mod,but sure does sound nice. Gotta be careful here in California though,get pulled over fast. Ill try the timing setting only just in case. Ill try -1° easier on the engine not as loud i hope lol.
For auto trans drivers ! 1. you have to use the manual shifting mode for pops. And also adjust between 2k-4krpm in the left two Columns of the high map (the map with the H) As well as 2krpm and 2250rpm in the third colomn this is where the auto shifting rsx "manual mode" decelerated at for me. I found -8 timing slow down to be a great sweet spot.
Thanks for the video. Gave me a few ideas. Here I am decreasing timing about 5-10 degrees and still around 13 and you are going negative….that’s probably the secret for big pops and crackles. A bit too much for me. But I’ll be sure to add the fuel cut delay time higher for 1-2 gear
Subscribed just because someone actually shows some of what tuning is about, a good friend of mine has a built head stock bottom b20v and needed a decent tune but didnt have 500+$ so I put my wide band in his car checked timing new plugs, went out on the street did a few pulls btw neither of us own a lap top so we had to take his ECU in his house and do the adjustments on his home computer, we got it pretty decent in a couple hours, took it to the track and ran consistent 13.2 at 105+ on street tires neither of us have tuning experience what so ever but now I'm getting a lap top it looks alot more simple now I see how it highlights where your reving in the timing table hopefully the fuel table
Thats great, thats how i got into tuning nearly 20 years ago - Tuned my car, then friends cars, then friends of friends. I'll be putting out more videos with more tuning how to's and tips and tricks ive picked up over the years - Stay tuned!
So for auto crackle you just -5 for 2000rpm and up on all degree tabs in high/low ignition tables and overrun delay to 2000 in all gears. Simple enough.
It might be that simple but this is way to much crackle.. id rather do a custom job on the ignition retardkng tables and do -values or low ones at least for a soft crackle at around 5000, then 3000-4000 and again a small else tion around the 2250 mark.. when doing a run itll only crackle a. it and not go ROAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR until the car stops basically😂😂 I dont think cops would love to see this as well.. wouldnt beentoo much of a concern to me when tuning but still id rather not get my car shut down by cops for having a bad tune :D
I second that make some tuning videos with hondata.. those videos are always fun to watch and learn something.. you just got a new sub amaizing video..
I would like it to make it pop and bang when I want. I don't think I could stand having it crackle pop and bang Everytime I change gears. How would it work if you want to be in control of it. Tapping accelerator when shifting? I have Toyota MR2 spyder Edit: 7:00 you explained it here. Exactly what I was looking for
visualinspirations I thought the same exact thing. I don’t mean to be a party pooper, but picture yourself driving in a city. At some point you’re bound to drive by a cop. You already have a loud muffler, now with pops and crackles its a sure way to get pulled over. I would set it above 4K that way you have some control when you’re driving in situations where you don’t want to draw attention to yourself.
might turn out pretty dope if you had -5 from 3k-4k, -10 from 4k-5k, -15 from 5k-6k and so on so the crackling corresponds in intensity to the rpm. maybe i should just get a ktuner and try it!
A guy in our neighbourhood did this to his car. He annoyed so many people that they started carrying small rocks, steel nuts, bolts, or whatever would fit nicely in a pocket. And then he got pelted by this stuff every time he went out. It didn't take him long to realize that it wasn't cool and it just really pissed people off. Before he got around to putting the car back to normal, someone got a can of that expanding foam and filled his exhaust. No more crackle / burble...
The higher settings should shoot flames on the street - If not, more fuel can be added but its trial and error - Also, it wont flame at all if you have a CAT
Hey man just saying thanks. I followed the video for my stock k20 06 type s with I/H/E and it works great. I did -15 on the timing and I adjusted the fuel cut as well as you showed. The peek pops are around 4kish rpm when I downshift or rev up and let go of throttle. If I downshift into 5-6k rpm it doesn’t really pop like it does at 4K rpm. Any idea why? Thanks again for the video tho!!!
Adam R - did you adjust the High load tables aka. The VTEC tables. I purposely didn’t talk about them because there is more to tuning them and a bit more potential for damage if done wrong.
Tuning by Nick honestly I just did what you showed in the video! I have ktuner as well and literally just pretty much copied what you showed lol Otherwise, I don’t know much about tuning really. I just adjusted map 0 and map 15 the first 2 columns after 2000 rpm like you showed at -15. I didn’t change anything else other then what you showed I’m not complaining it’s still awesome for now and appreciate the video just found it strange if I rev up to 6k and get off the throttle it wouldn’t pop as much as if I rev to 4K and let go
The ignition timing part should be the same, but the load columns might be different depending on your specific tune. Kpro doesnt offer the same fuel cut delay, there is only a check box in the "closed loop" menu - Make sure that is not checked
@@tuningbynick So I also have the Kpro v4 and there is a box ,under closed loop, and its to disable the fuel overrun cutoff delay. Would disabling this be almost the same thing as adjusting?
@@tuningbynick Nick in Ktuner there's a box in closed loop settings that says "wot based on map only" what does that do? The first time I got tuned it was unchecked then I went back to my tuner and he checked it and said that box should be checked. I'm all motor RSX btw
@@balrajkullar8296 remove the cat entirely and you'll get something. It won't be this obnoxious but it also won't fuck up your engine in the long run. If you want a shit ton of flames and noise go buy a rotary, those dump unburnt fuel without having to retard the timing like a moron.
great video, really wish i could find something like this for the FA20DIT. Accesstuner doesnt give ANY runoff/dfco/fuel cut tables of any sort. ive got my target open loop fueling for my desired range heavily enriched AND desired load range has -13 degrees and it still BARELY does it
Seriously, this is one of the stupidest things I've ever seen. People knowingly retarding the timing back hurting performance likely shortening the life of their engine, probably leaving a shit ton of carbon deposits inside the engine all so that the exhaust goes bang bang pop. At least the fucking ricers in 1999 were only strapping some neons to the car, this will actually cost someone money, likely the poor soul that gets stuck buying these kids piece of shit that was "tuned" poorly on purpose.
Rare Dance Classics im not defending the decel pop, but it does not hurt performance. Also the incresible heat does not build carbon, but actually clean it.
It's cool for like 2 minutes then it's like ok stop now, deep burbles that last for maybe a second are better than crackles that go on for five seconds 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
I dont know a lot about cars. But i just wanna make sure, your rsx doesnt have a turbo? Its doing this with a N/A motor? And would this tune work for a 2007 Honda Civic Dx coupe? Thanks!
@@tuningbynick Would it be possible to do it to my 2007 Honda civic Dx? I know what the consequences are. I'd love to know if its possible? And if it is, how can i apply it to my car!
Awesome tutorial - but I can't really hear the difference between the different ignition retardation values (-5, -10, -15 etc) What's the purpose of these different settings - what are you achieving?
Hey man u plan on doing any videos on doing aggressive 2-step? Or e-mail by any chance on how to? I did mines on kpro but i want it to sound more controlled and have some flame going on lol
Tekaile Davis - I can definitely try and put together a 2 step video. It might take me a while to get to it with all the other stuff I have going on but I will definitely work towards a good 2 step video.
The potential issue with adjusting more then 2 columns is that you could be adjusting more then just the decel portion of the map. If you adjust what is the cruising portion of the map that would be cause problems
@@tuningbynick i see, i havent noticed anything negative yet. it still only burbles when engine breaking and giving gas. thank you for the quick reply!
So from what i could understand, the Pops and sound is coming from the pistons when it's being injected and burned. But pistons are opened so there is no pressure and this is the sound of the fuel being ignited?
what we are hearing is basically the ignition events happening in the exhaust instead of in the cylinder which - The pop are little explosions in the exhaust
Al Cronolexus - done properly it won’t do any damage. You also don’t have to run the crackle mods all the time. You can just load it up when you want it.
I can crackle my stock 2014 accord when im downshifting. i just have a muffler delete but i need to play with my throttle a bit. I am getting a ktuner soon so i might need your help in the future to make it more consistent :)
I just did mine on my 8th gen coupe 2008 with flash pro. I did -10 from 2000 rpms to 4000 I think? I’d have to double check but it don’t pop like this man. It pops when it wants and I’m wondering if I have a cat on the car still ..... and maybe that’s why it’s popping a little. Should I do -15 ?
After getting my k swap done and tuned. I was surprised that I couldn't find any info online but basically if I have vtec engaged and under light throttle the car sounds like it's burbling almost like a 2step since the rpm bounces like a 2 step and speed stays constant but it's rolling. Is that a thing and if so why don't i hear that from other honda peeps cause the sound is addicting and it doesn't sound like gun shots
Did this on my 06 type s with full exhaust - nice. However, as soon as I start decel from any rpm higher than 4k (5k, 6k, etc) I don't get pops. I only get pops when I ride the gas on decel from 3k to 4k rpm (I have both columns set to -10 from 3k rpm to redline) - anyone know why?
Hard to say, technically if youve followed the instructions it should work just like in the video - If you need some help to get it sorted out, i offer remote tuning services to get it working properly - If youre interested in that please send me an email - nick@tuningbynick.com
Going the foot route; would I have to ride the gas for less time on decal to make the pops last a shorter time? I’m also just going for in between shifts for a short moment
Thanks - Technically there is no load in decel so there is no chance for knock. If the ECU is picking up any knock on decel then its picking up false knock. False is a complicated topic that needs a whole video on its own
Pretty late to this video even though I love the K997 content, but is there any added issues or differences to the tune with a turbocharged vehicle. Specifically on a L15CA
@@tuningbynick aight thanks, great content btw. I've got an fg2 I'm wanting to get flashpro for but my trunk got smashed by another car and then my front suspension is going out. Need to get those first, I'm 20 so don't have the funds to get flashpro

I made 233whp, 193tq on a completely stock Absolute k24a. Stock oil pump, stock vtc. Just bolt ons.
hey man i was told i cant use a rsx ecu for my 2008 accord could you possibly explain the restrections of ecus and what can tune them and what end mods can be done tubo awd etc.
Hey Nick! So i when i bought my RSX, i was able to crackle when i go up to 4k and slightly blip the throttle to make it constantly crackle and pop. Thing is im not tuned so do you know what might cause this to happen? I have the OEM cat, 2.5 piping to greddy rs muffler no resonator.
There are lots of potential reasons for this - for example the TPS calibration could be off, which would mess with how the ECU detects decel - Unfortunately there is real no way for me to know without working on the car tho
Hey Nick, I’ve got a 2013 Honda accord 2.4L, catless, 2.5” catback, SRI. I basically copy and pasted what you did, first 2 columns to a negative number, for whatever reason I only get pops below 3k even though i have -20 set from 2000rpm to 7500rpm. It pops very nice from 3k-2k, but why wont it go above that? What am I doing wrong. Thanks in advance
Just pushed this flash to my ILX K24V7. Quiet Axleback only. I *think* it’s working but I can barely hear it. Is it inaudible if you have the stock resonator/stock downpipe? Or should it still be super loud and poppy? Just wondering if I need to get an axleback/Rv6 dp now just to hear the pop?
You’re one of the first to show how it’s done
Thank you sooo much
People think you're a douche when you drive like that. Actual car guys know what a race motor sounds like vs your farting sound.

Al Cronolexus - done properly it won’t do any damage. You also don’t have to run the crackle mods all the time. You can just load it up when you want it.
great video, but with the delay set to 2000ms why does it continue to crackle even after 2 seconds?
I can crackle my stock 2014 accord when im downshifting. i just have a muffler delete but i need to play with my throttle a bit. I am getting a ktuner soon so i might need your help in the future to make it more consistent :)
Whenever your ready feel free to shoot me an email
Can you do a video on speedometer calibration on ktuner
I would put everything at -100 and see what happens 🙂🤣
The car would probably blow up or just fall on the ground
good luck getting it to run lol
I have a base model 2002 rsx automatic where could I got to get my car tuned
The issue is I dont think either Hondata or Ktuner support auto trans yet
Tuning by Nick oh okay thanks
wow tx for the amazing video. :)
Great video bro! Wish you were here in California so I could stop by with my Type S
Ya thats a bit far unfortunately
@@tuningbynick Yea fr you're all the way out in Canada shheeeshh😂
I just did mine on my 8th gen coupe 2008 with flash pro. I did -10 from 2000 rpms to 4000 I think? I’d have to double check but it don’t pop like this man. It pops when it wants and I’m wondering if I have a cat on the car still ..... and maybe that’s why it’s popping a little. Should I do -15 ?
verry helpfull and a good quality vid thankyou
i have a 93 civic, stock just a car back exhaust. what are the things i need to do and get to get a crack and pop tune
After getting my k swap done and tuned. I was surprised that I couldn't find any info online but basically if I have vtec engaged and under light throttle the car sounds like it's burbling almost like a 2step since the rpm bounces like a 2 step and speed stays constant but it's rolling. Is that a thing and if so why don't i hear that from other honda peeps cause the sound is addicting and it doesn't sound like gun shots
At my dyno too...what a coincidence
looks like i gotta come to canada. not for this but maybe for a nice tune. picked up an 03 RSX Type S with KPro.
By all means come on up - feel free to email with any questions
Did this on my 06 type s with full exhaust - nice. However, as soon as I start decel from any rpm higher than 4k (5k, 6k, etc) I don't get pops. I only get pops when I ride the gas on decel from 3k to 4k rpm (I have both columns set to -10 from 3k rpm to redline) - anyone know why?
Hard to say, technically if youve followed the instructions it should work just like in the video - If you need some help to get it sorted out, i offer remote tuning services to get it working properly - If youre interested in that please send me an email - nick@tuningbynick.com
Going the foot route; would I have to ride the gas for less time on decal to make the pops last a shorter time? I’m also just going for in between shifts for a short moment
Yup - just the foot route will get you very sort pops when you let off and pops when you shift
Is the only limitation to doing -5 is the little bit of fuel waste? What kind of damage does -5 do?
What’s your knock count/knock control after doing this tune? Does changing the ignition like this affect knock readings? Thanks! Great video
Thanks - Technically there is no load in decel so there is no chance for knock. If the ECU is picking up any knock on decel then its picking up false knock. False is a complicated topic that needs a whole video on its own
@@tuningbynick Hey Nick!if you could add this topic about knock count/knock control to a future video it would be very informative!
The car alone without pops sounds amazing, like an RB
Pretty late to this video even though I love the K997 content, but is there any added issues or differences to the tune with a turbocharged vehicle. Specifically on a L15CA
Subbed, is this the same for s300 on a b series? Also how do you get some flames going? I’m guessing I’d have to play with the A/F a little bit right?
ElementLucifer - yup. You can definitely do this with S300. I’ve done it for many clients
Tuning by Nick I simply live too far for me to visit you for a tune, how much do you charge for a tune via email?
How come mine doesn't have any drop downs for advanced features?? I want 2step lololol!!???
Can you explain the different charts with the vtc timing and what changing those numbers is doing?
Im working on some tutorial videos - I plan on doing one just on VTC - Stay tuned
@@tuningbynick aight thanks, great content btw. I've got an fg2 I'm wanting to get flashpro for but my trunk got smashed by another car and then my front suspension is going out. Need to get those first, I'm 20 so don't have the funds to get flashpro
I made 233whp, 193tq on a completely stock Absolute k24a. Stock oil pump, stock vtc. Just bolt ons.
Mike Harkins - great numbers.
Mike Harkins what how i made 212 i have a k24a2 stock fbo
@@sandrarivera7912 different Dyno maybe.. some read more some read less.
This is Real GOLD WOW
hey man i was told i cant use a rsx ecu for my 2008 accord could you possibly explain the restrections of ecus and what can tune them and what end mods can be done tubo awd etc.
Hey Nick! So i when i bought my RSX, i was able to crackle when i go up to 4k and slightly blip the throttle to make it constantly crackle and pop. Thing is im not tuned so do you know what might cause this to happen? I have the OEM cat, 2.5 piping to greddy rs muffler no resonator.
There are lots of potential reasons for this - for example the TPS calibration could be off, which would mess with how the ECU detects decel - Unfortunately there is real no way for me to know without working on the car tho
So I'd assume -15 & -20 gets more popcorn'y, and -5 & -10 sounds cleaner?
Hey Nick, I’ve got a 2013 Honda accord 2.4L, catless, 2.5” catback, SRI. I basically copy and pasted what you did, first 2 columns to a negative number, for whatever reason I only get pops below 3k even though i have -20 set from 2000rpm to 7500rpm. It pops very nice from 3k-2k, but why wont it go above that? What am I doing wrong. Thanks in advance
Would adjusting the fuel cut timing also affect the ability to apply features like traction control?
That is more of a technical question for the tech support guys at Hondata or Ktuner - Im not sure how the coding works for the traction control
Is there a way to have this set to a button with a plug and play hondata ecu? Because I do want crackle but don't wanna be obnoxious all the time.
Very nice video. If I already have a tune however, my tuner was against adding a burble tune can one be added without affecting the first tune?
Shaka Antoine - you can definitely add this to an existing tune. If you need help to do it I offer that service
@@tuningbynick OK cool. Good to know.
Just pushed this flash to my ILX K24V7. Quiet Axleback only. I *think* it’s working but I can barely hear it. Is it inaudible if you have the stock resonator/stock downpipe? Or should it still be super loud and poppy? Just wondering if I need to get an axleback/Rv6 dp now just to hear the pop?
Does having a cat on the car stop the pops? I know it blocks flames, but can you still do the crackle tune with a cat?
