EM1 with JDM K20a swap from CL7 euro r, need help with kal

[onthareg]

I just finished a 2000 civic si with:
k20a from cl7 euro r. (dc5 type r engine in an accord)
Ktuned 4-1 race header,
rbc intake manifold
ktuned 3” cai,
310cc injectors with ktuned rail, set to 55psi fuel pressure
itr cams and 50* cam gear,
2.5” exhaust.
Ktuned engine harness 02-04
Ktuned conversion harness for 98-00 Ek
AEM 30-0300 wideband connected to kpro analog0
KProV4

Need some advice on what base map. I’m leaning towards the k20a_itr.kal as it seems closest to my setup but vtec thresholds look a little low. any advice appreciated. I can post logs if anyone is willing to help. I’m new to kpro. It’s also hot out and I run 93octane. Thanks!

Micheal,

I always recommend staring with an unmodified base tune. In this instance an RSX Type s calibration file. Any base map file that you use will need modification. Do you plan to get the car dyno tuned? What is your goal?

I do plan on dyno tuning but the closest dyno is over 2hrs away and I don’t want to crawl there in open loop. My plans are road racing, canyon driving and roll racing, looking for about 250hp. I have some rdx 410cc injectors and aem 350lph e85 ready pump to go in. I tried the rsx_itr_cam_jrh kal and it felt decent down low but I know it is lacking up top compared to the higher compression, itr cams, 59* vtc and rbc im.

If I upload the base kal I use as well as proper datalog would you be able to help me clean it up well enough to drive to tuner safely? I mainly concerned about knock. Just recently installed a k24 knock sensor too.

Yes, I am able to help with tuning the car. I asked you goal so I know how to approach the tune. The proper way is to tune all the tables and that is my normal approach(What your tuner will do). Since you already plan to get it tuned I can make sure its running safe.
