Great vid man. Nice to see you showing what few tuners ever show, the before and after. Really interested in the EMU black tuning process as I am dying to get my hands on one. Good luck
I saw one of these cars literally in front of my house today (02/27/2021), albeit under its Acura version, and I saw a Scion tC that was right behind it, and a Subaru Impreza WRX STi. If I saw any more tuners, then there is no doubt that they would have raced in front of my house.
Hey man love the vids, but what ecu do you recommend for a 05 type-s (doing cams and head work in the future and maybe turbo) it’s hard to find tuners as well
Nick. I let my little brother borrow my rsx. He said he went from 3rd to 2nd and shut off. Now it won’t crank and pretty sure it’s blown. Any suggestions or where to start bro? .. 🤦♂️ def did not need this problem.
My base map won't idle down to the blue cells. It idles at 1500, and when looking at the cells it's in the orangeish to red cells. How to adjust idle? Anyone know
Hello, i would like to know if you can help me with this, i need to know where is going connected my aem wideband to my ktuner? I have a ktuner on my prb ecu (05 rsx type s)
Hey Nick, would you recommend tuning without changing the clutch? Apparently still got stock OEM clutch from ‘02 at the moment thinking if I should change it before going to dyno lol
You guys are missing the bigger picture, that fender is a different white from the car. It’s like a darker white. I know y’all can see that 👀. Nice video tho 👍🏻
ever since i swapped in my 06 tsx motor the ktuner has it running super rich all i smell is gas it runs for about 20 - 30 mins i get it to idle right then it bogs down and dies i havent even got to test drive yet
help i swapped the 02 sensor and disabled the closed loop i have no cat walboro pump rdx injectors 70mm ktuned tb and aem cai idk why its not working the type s oil pump could it be the amazon timing chain??
Its the same principals, but the 2 systems are different when it comes to how you do the tuning, its really important to find a tuner that knows the system
unfortunately no - when the kpro engages vtec it changes other values as well. such as fuel, ignition and vtc angles. there is a lot changing when vtec engages
Question. I'm running the end user and uploaded reflash #3 which is i/h/e and rbc manifold. I'm not running a header at the moment and I notice around 5,500rpm it really lags. Is there any way to adjust that or is it just because I'm not running a header? Thankx in advance.
It most likely just needs proper tuning - You should datalog the AFs and make sure they are safe - they should be 14.7 when cruising and 12.5 when full throttle
out of curiousity, how much would it cost for me to switch a base model rsx to k24a2 ? ball park because i dont know how much to budget or what to expect? transmission will be syncrotech so was just wondering
Jon Saavedra - There are so many variables. But if you break it down. The engine is about $700-1000. Labour can be $500-1000. Probably $200-300 in miscellaneous things and You’ll need either Hondata or a KTuner ecu. But that’s the bare minimum. You might want to get a better header and intake manifold at the same time. That stuff can be another $1000
I love your videos man, recently picked up a bone stock 05 rsx type s with 150k miles and i wanna get my ecu setup before a go fbo, would you recommend ktuner or kpro? Its my daily driver i want whats best for it, i know getting intake/exhaust befire a tune can make it run worse so ive been holding off till i figure out which ecu is better.
I personally like Hondata. But what I always try and say is. Don’t buy any system for tuning until you’ve figure out which tuner you are going to use. Talk to the tuner and see what system they recommend. Ultimately you need to make sure you’ll have good support from your tuner on the system you are using.
Tuning by Nick Thanks man! I think he uses hondata but imma have to check with him. I want to learn to tune eventually so hopefully i can observe and maybe get some tips on how to adjust myself as i start getting bolt ons.
Btw I’m using a 06 hondata kpro for both my k20z1 and k20a2. And did u know a kpro from an 02-04 RSX will work on an 05-06 RSX and vise versa?!?!? Just use the 02-04 Wide band oxygen sensor though and a wire or two swapped a round when using either ecu.
What you do is take the k20z1 head off and the k24 head off and put the k20z1 head on the k24 block. The TSX heads Vtec sucks and has a low redline. This way you will have best of both worlds. The best k motor torque with the best k motor Vtec. Killer bottom and top end combined! You can boost those stock blocks from 600-700 whp and with that head oh man oh man. Actually. Since you like comparisons go ahead and put the full k24 swap in as is and funk tune it and then put the K20 head on and watch the big comparison difference. You will love it.
My bad - Forgot to mention the transmission is currently a 06 Civic Si LSD trans. When i convert to AWD, it will be a 2003 CRV AWD trans, with the 06 Civic Si 6 spd gear set swapped in. Basically converting a CRV transmission to 6 spd
Hello, i would like to know if you can help me with this, i need to know where is going connected my aem wideband to my ktuner? I have a ktuner on my prb ecu (05 rsx type s)

Hey nick. Can you install the tuner board as well?
Do you think that k20z1 will tune better "stock" like this with kpro?
Sent an email about inquires!!
I got a 05 type s with a k24a engine ktuner ecu has intake straight pipe DC headers using rsx oil pump don't know what map to use
Location for the k tuner
I’m about to do this swap. I’d really have loved watch you do the swap. I’m concerned about doing it my first time
This is gonna be good 👀

Is tuning a turbo set up on a rsx the same for kpro and ktuner? Having a hard time finding a tuner who will tune with ktuner.
Its the same principals, but the 2 systems are different when it comes to how you do the tuning, its really important to find a tuner that knows the system
Look like hypergrams, interested in this project :D
My bad - You're right, they are hypergrams
I wish you could do etunes with ktuner. Need my em1 with a full 05 rsx type s swap on Ktuner-end user tuned.
People hate tuning ktuner because you always have to turn it on and off to download.... how did you like tuning it compared to kpro?
Just subscribed! And not bad with just ktuner ecu I have a 06 type s fbo dyno tune made 230hp and 161tq On ktuner ecu Little fun car they are!
Those are great numbers!
@@tuningbynick Thank you! Keep up the good work! Looking forward to seeing what your doing to the rsx!
What bolt ons did you have?
Matt Vang I listed them all off in the video
Tuning by Nick not you lol
i found your page from your car, in behind your honda 😝
Anyway to change when vtec engages without going to kpro?
unfortunately no - when the kpro engages vtec it changes other values as well. such as fuel, ignition and vtc angles. there is a lot changing when vtec engages

Hi nick, by any chance you have your own base maps for 8th civic si?
Shoot me an email and I’m sure I can help out somehow. nick@tuningbynick.com
Question, why did you swap out arguably the best k20 ever made?
Oh Pulse because the K24 is actually a better engine. Have you watched my original video? ua-cam.com/video/2sOuhkUx9Wk/v-deo.html
out of curiousity, how much would it cost for me to switch a base model rsx to k24a2 ? ball park because i dont know how much to budget or what to expect? transmission will be syncrotech so was just wondering

K-tuner for rsx s 06. Is it compatible with turbo charge?
It is - but i recommend to contact your tuner first and discuss which system they recommend working with
what ktuer did you use, v2 with the touch screen?
My Ktuner is the dealer version - Its different then the end user version
@@tuningbynick dealer gets the best version aye
Do you offer any e tunes for hondata? I have a 14' civic si with light mods
Yes i do, shoot me an email and we can talk - nick@tuningbynick.com
Can u do a comparison on stock ecu vs ktuner/kpro stock oem base maps?
I'm actually trying to pick up a Kpro for the RSX so i can do a comparison - stay tuned!
Btw I’m using a 06 hondata kpro for both my k20z1 and k20a2. And did u know a kpro from an 02-04 RSX will work on an 05-06 RSX and vise versa?!?!? Just use the 02-04 Wide band oxygen sensor though and a wire or two swapped a round when using either ecu.

Where can I purchase a ktuner? For 06 rsx s
If you are in Canada i can help you out - If you are in the US. Check out Xenocron.com
Why did you switch the motor to a k24
James Nunez - for the more power and more torque
Tuning by Nick oh ok nice you didn’t want to do the Frankenstein swap k20 block and k20 heads
