I'm probably overthinking this, correct map help please?

Post by Deehrockz »

So I just picked up a hondata flash pro for my 2017 type r us. And have been trying for the life of me to know if I'm choosing the correct tune. I've been spending a good amount of time browsing the web trying to gather info on this.

Here's my specs. Completely stock type r except I put in the mishimoto intake. I currently live in California and use 91 gas.

I ended up loading the:
Civic Type R FK8 US 2017. Stock equivalent.
And then added the mishimoto intake as into the additional section for mods.

I'm browsing again and see there is a :
CivicR-2017-US--2-91octane-st : civic Type R FK8 US 2017, 91 octane map.

I guess my question is, should I be using the 91 octane map and just add the mishimoto intake? Or do I continue to run the stock map with mishimoto intake that I'm currently on.

I was under the impression the hondata stock tune I originally chose was for completely stock with the benefit of some additional power.

Thanks in advance,
This is seriously driving me nuts not knowing if I have the correct map loaded onto the car I've been driving for the last few days :(

The 'stock equivalent' is the same as factory so you will not get a performance increase from using it. If you download the latest software you will see we renamed it 'factory settings' to prevent any confusion.

You want the 91 octane calibration. Enable traction control. The intake makes no difference so it does not matter if you select it or not.
