what?

You mean Won't work?

[lemonhead228]

typo. yea i mean wont work

[RHCP0801]

you cant run a different engine off an ecu made for an entirely different car. I think people have gotten the car to start but it ran like shit and your risking damage to the motor by not having it tuned right

[vbpracer]

There are many different reasons why you cannot use the pnf ecu, cam timing, compressions, harness etc. To use the k24a2, you HAVE to have kpro.

[lemonhead228]

Oo thx for the response

[lemonhead228]

would reflash work?

[RHCP0801]

no, kpro only

Thanks for the good info. Yes I do have the C63 AMG, but that's just a weekend car. The handling on the M3 is much better than the AMG but not a lot. The torque on the 6.3L V8 is F**kin awesome. I love it. I want to trade in my CLK550 for an M3 Convertible.. :) maybe after my Ep3 project is done.

You have to use different shiftercables. There should be a thread about it in trans section.

You have a C63 amg? I have been looking at those, how do you like it?

good info in this thread.. i will be doing a k24a4 with tsx pistons soon.. cant wait

[MadLorEP3]

I have an 07 tsx motor
N I also got the karcepts adapter that was mentioned here
My problem is that on an 07 rbb there is no idler control port
But there is one on the karcepts adapter
So now I have no idle and I have to step on gas when I'm at a stop sign so car won't shut off
Also my aem v2 intake won't fit properly
Any suggestions for these 2 issues
Not sure if I'm making sense

[gtimportfanatic]

why didnt u just reuse ur stock PRB? or purchase an RBC. the RBC is pretty cheap.. honda online parts stores sell em for 190 or so.

[MadLorEP3]

I didnt realize that the RBB from an 07 is different from an 04 RBB...
And I didnt know that I could still use the ep intake mani (prb)
I will be looking for an rbc asap so I can reuse my aem v2 intake....

[talonXracer]

There is a fairly easy fix for the lack of a IAC port in the mani. A 45 degree angle cut needs to be made in the Karcepts adaptor and a corresponding cut made in the mani's flange to create the port. This can be done with a dremel or a right angle grinder or a machine shop can do it for $$$

I have done it for several guys already with RRC mani's.

[RHCP0801]

thats weird the v2 doesnt fit, does it hit the hood? might need a 45 degree elbow or something like that....oh and the rbc will reduce your tq, i would just look for an 04-05 rbb mani instead of the rbc

rbc also requires massive amounts of cutting to the rad support
