Kpro real time programming?

Is it possible? or do I need to knock off car and upload changes each time?

No it is not possible. You must turn the engine off and upload everytime you make a change.

Do you think it will ever be implemented? Would be a great help when tuning on the dyno as you could make changes while watching tractive effort to know how the engine is responding to the changes.

btw how come I can't pm on here?

Technically speaking, incremental uploads will work while the engine is running...however, obviously Hondata doesn't advise it, and if you try it you're going to get a few misfires while the ECU applies the changes.

Then there's the other side of it...if you're idling when you do it, the car will stall. If you're driving, why the hell are you jerking around with Kpro?

He's using a dyno, hence the wording "tractive effort".. On dyno's like the dynapack, you never need to touch the steering wheel, so your hands are free to curl your hair or tune the car..

Yes exactly :D It is annoying not been able to make changes in real time, the car bogs if you upload a change while its running... no offense to Hondata but real time programming seem to be implemented in most tuning softwares nowadays so why can't it be introduced to the krpo k manager???

There is nothing that Hondata can do about it with the processor in this particular ecu style.. It used to annoy me as well, but it doesn't bother me anymore, you just get used to it..
