PNF K-Proed ECU in base RSX

[havilandesign]

I got a PNF k-proed ecu to put in my 03 base RSX and I just wanted to confirm that it will work fine as long as the immobilizer is turned off correct? Do I run any risk by not having the intake runner control that I would have had with my PND? And when I upload kals do I still use the ones for the RSX base k20a3 even though it was out of a 04 Civic si hatch? Thanks for the help.

You will probably loose power and torque by not having the AIB control.

[havilandesign]

A noticeable amount? If I upload the k20a3 stock tuned 91 octane kal should I see significant improvements over stock at least? Or will I be able to tune it to where I gain back that lost power?

[Spunkster]

It would be best to just use the proper PND ECU with K-Pro.

[havilandesign]

I already got the PNK one though so what would be the best route from here? Someone suggested running the PRB manifold off a type-s?

[Spunkster]

That intake manifold is not designed for that engine and may not give any gains and may even hurt performance.

[havilandesign]

So aside from getting a different k-proed ecu what would be the best way for me to get back that power and then some? Could I run the rsx base tuned 91 octane calibration as it is without problems?

[Spunkster]

The cams in that engine are designed for the dual runner manifold, tuning cannot make up for physical differences.

[havilandesign]

Thats understandable, but there must be some way I will still be able to utilize this kpro in my car as it is now right?

[havilandesign]

Or is it possible for me to send you my stock PND ECU along with the PNF K-Proed one and have the K-Pro transfered to my stock one? If so, at what cost?

[Spunkster]

No, we do not swap K-Pro boards from working ECUs.
