Thinking about Turbo. Are you bored? READ ME!

[superchargedk20]

Hey im going to send in my ecu to finally get Kpro.
I just need to take it out an ship it right?

pretty much. Make sure u pay the extra for next day. I shipped mine next day and literally got it the next day. Fastest turn around ive ever seen

[AKEP]

yup.

[spartan]

I sent in my 05 ECU, what does it mean when they say the PNF ecu has neither reverse lockout nor secondary runner control.

[gtimportfanatic]

i think those got fixed.. but PNF ECU is ep3 ECU.. the prb ECU from the rsx-s has reverse lockout for the 6th gear.. if u had a 6spd in ur EP.

So when i switch to 6 speed it wont be a problem?
When i get my ecu back what can i expect?
Do i need to do any kind of tuning?

[superchargedk20]

whats ur mods? theres a basemap i know for boltons on there

V2 short ram intake
DC shorty header
2 1/2 or 3 inch exhaust (with a bunch of exhaust leaks) i cant remember and a magna flow muffler.

I'm thinking of buying a OBX race header and redoing the exhaust 3inch (no cat maybe a resonator) and greddy spectrum elite muffler, keep V2 intake.
You think that could help, or would it make no difference.
I have to run 91 octane now don't i?

[superchargedk20]

A race header yes. And until u do a turbo or supercharged there's no need for a 3in. And yes u need to atleast run 91. My ep only gets 93. Hell my stock type s gets 93 lol. And a raceheader eliminates the cat

from wat I remember 3in exhaust only benefits when u start getting around 250 whp. If ur gona turbo just do the 3 in at the same time

[spartan]

well i already have 3inch but i have a fuck ton of exhaust leaks so im just gonna get it redone now.

when i get the turbo installed how do i get a street tune or download a map so i can drive my car properly?
without having to go to a dyno

[superchargedk20]

theres base maps in kpro. Just load one from the02-05 SI section. Dont beat on the car. Just drive it conservatively to the tuner

I would just keep your a3 tranny add a z3 lsd and a tsx 6th gear. why buy a new tranny if you already have one you know?

[AKEP]

cause $200 for a good 5 spd is better than $400+ for modding one.

like i've said there's something wrong with my third gear, grinds half the time i shift.
I also have no idea how to do add the tsx 6th gear or LSD
