2005/2006 Base RSX compatibility?

Post by Scourge »

I know that the 05+ RSX-S needs the adapter harness but does the 05+ base version still use a PND ECU and is it compatible with K-Pro? Is the harness the same as the 02-04?

Also, can an 02-04 PRB Hondata'd ECU be used in an 05+ base?

The 05+ base uses the same setup as the 05+ Type-S (adapter harness + ECU). Note than any ECU you use has to be modified by us for 05 use otherwise the speedo and VTC will not work.

The only difference we have noticed is that the speedo correction needs to be adjusted because the 05+ speed sensor uses 3rd gear, and the Type-S and base have different 3rd gear and final drive ratios.

How much to upgrade?

Post by Scourge »

Well, my RSX-S got hit and plan on selling it after repairs. I don't want my ECU to go to waste and if I go with a new (05-06) RSX-S, how much would this modification cost (without the price of the harness)?

We only sell it as a package...The ecu modifications and harness are $200 when done to an exsting ecu with K-Pro.

You guage will never read acurately as the countershaft driven speed sensor from a base recieves a different number of pulses than a countershaft driven speed sensor from a Type S. The speedo correction in the parameters can only compensate for different tire sizes on a Type S, and will never acuratley compensate for the different number of triger teeth that a base transmission has.

right now, i'm using a type-s ecu(prb), what can i do to make the speed be acurate?
i know once i shift to 3rd gear my speed off is by 10km/h..so ur telling me there is no fix for base rsx using type-s ecu?

The only thing would be to get a Type S transmission from an 05-06.

I have an 05, will I have to enable countershaft driven speed sensor? If so, whats a good percentage? I'm a newb...

Yes you have to enable the countershaft driven speed sensor, and if it is a Type S then you should not have to have any percentage correction with stock wheels and tires.
