VTEC setting confusion with latest K-Manager

Post by Sacrificial Pawn »

Hello all.

Just bought K-Pro for my UKDM CTR and I'm in need of some help/guidance.

I'm running the RSX coldair map until I get a full tune done. In the VTEC parameters window, it's set at 4300 at 90kpa and 5800 at 22kpa.

However, on full throttle VTEC still doesn't seem to engage until 5800. It was my presumption that full throttle would be the 90kpa parameter and VTEC would engage at 4300?

I'm running standard internals, NA with a Buddyclub full system and Gruppe M induction.

Do I need to have the lower 22kpa point set at 4300kpa to get VTEC to engage lower or can I adjust the kpa to a lower pressure in the top parameter so I can still have 2 VTEC points; one for part and one for full throttle? If so, what would be a good setting?

Alternatively, as per the factory map; set the changeover to a lower RPM and have the kpa as '0'?

Thanks. :)

Please provide more information (see http://www.hondata.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3629)

How are you using the RSX calibration in a PRA ECU?

I had read that before posting.

The RSX caliberation is standard bar a lower launch control point. As per Mr. Aryan's post, I modified the ECU type in Notepad then reloaded as a .kal file to the K-Pro.

I don't understand what more information is required; very new to this but how would a datalog help?

Hopefully I've give all the required info if someone could point me in the right direction to solve the original query.

Thanks.

A datalog and calibration would help greatly, because we can then look at it and see if it is a setting in the calibration, or by looking at the datalog can determine what conditions are failing to switch on VTEC. That's why we request the information.

Tell me, because this is something which we would like to be able to impress upon people in order to make their lives easier, when editing the calibration in notepad did the line at the top "Please don't edit this file directly" mean anything? Do we need to make the warning bigger or scarier?

maybe there is not 90kpa pressure at 4300rpm. change it to 80kpa.
