kpro should i ?
 
im thinking about selling my recaros and getting k pro installed..do you guys think its worth it? also how much of a hp gain should i expect to see ?

josh 02-17-2012 08:49 AM

k pro is worth every penny, I loved it in my kswap. with out getting tuned and running a stock map maybe 3-15hp but the car will drive better and you can always change things move vtec to a high rpm for hiway use all that kinda of crap.

PhxKid92 02-17-2012 08:53 AM

i deffintly want to get it tuned after i get it installed....iv read nothing but good reviews about kpro...another question where should i buy it from club rsx or from joe at locash?

josh 02-17-2012 09:04 AM

go to joe

PhxKid92 02-17-2012 09:06 AM

cool all i have to do it sell my recaros lol

Fix.it.again.Tony 02-17-2012 10:03 AM

Yes get Kpro

It will provide you more happiness and flexibility with your car instead of some seats.

You can make all kinds of adjustments to your ride ranging from Idle, vtec window, launch control, check error codes, data log, pass emissions every time..not to mention you can get Joe at Locash to tune it..

its worth every cent...plus Joe always helps his customers even after the tune is done. Also, you can save your tune to a thumbdrive or email and never lose it :)

I got incredible gains after my tune with him on the Base...you should expect more with your k20a engine :)

PhxKid92 02-17-2012 10:20 AM

lol thank you good bye recaros hello kpro :biggrin:

Dead Bird 02-17-2012 11:26 AM

You can buy mine for 850.
And I need your stock ecu.

But mine is less than 2 months old, bought it from joe. Comes with everything he gave me. It's the newest version with the optional 8 5v inputs w/ jumper.

PhxKid92 02-17-2012 11:28 AM

kpro 3? trade me it for my recaros lol

boostftw 02-17-2012 11:33 AM

Worth it

Fix.it.again.Tony 02-17-2012 11:46 AM

mickey I want your kpro

Dead Bird 02-17-2012 11:50 AM

Sell those recaros playboy!

1300$ seats do not belong in my car!

PhxKid92 02-17-2012 11:53 AM

im working on it lol

Dead Bird 02-17-2012 12:23 PM

Haha that thread went from 2 posts to 13 in an hour

PhxKid92 02-17-2012 12:27 PM

i doubt they are gonna sell here lol

Jason.AZ1 02-17-2012 12:36 PM

I would buy a 6sp before kpro.

Fix.it.again.Tony 02-17-2012 12:36 PM

try them on CLUBRSX and Arizonarsx too

PhxKid92 02-17-2012 12:37 PM

i have a 6 speed

PhxKid92 02-17-2012 12:38 PM

on az rsx can i post them right away or do i need a certain amount before i can post in the classifieds like on here?

Jason.AZ1 02-17-2012 12:42 PM

Which one did you finally pick up? Just go to Locash and buy Kpro from him and have him tune you.

PhxKid92 02-17-2012 12:44 PM

car was a 6 speed this whole time...its a long story ha and yea i was definitely gonna have joe tune it

locash 02-17-2012 03:29 PM

I charge the same price for a brand new one, why buy used? :)

locash 02-17-2012 03:30 PM

Oh, and I guarantee that K-Pro will do more for your car than an extra gear ever would! :)

PhxKid92 02-17-2012 03:31 PM

you will be hearing from as soon as these damn seats get sold ...im going to you buddy lol

Fix.it.again.Tony 02-17-2012 03:45 PM

Joe I like your sig hahaha

Jason.AZ1 02-17-2012 03:50 PM

IMO, If I had a k20a longblock with a K20a ecu running a ep3 transmission I would rather upgrade to a Type-s or Type-R transmission over Kpro first then get Kpro. Gearing in the 5speed sucks especially since the car is all motor. As you can see after he said he has a 6sp now I suggested going to your shop for the new ecu/tune.

PhxKid92 02-17-2012 10:09 PM

will kpro fix my idle problems by any chance my car idles like poop

locash 02-17-2012 10:14 PM

Actually, for quicker acceleration, the EP3 5 speed trans is significantly better than the Type S.. It has a 4.7 final drive and a shorter gearset.. :)

Thanks for the referral!


PhxKid92 02-17-2012 10:17 PM

joe answer that question lol

Dead Bird 02-18-2012 12:25 AM

Define like poop

Fix.it.again.Tony 02-18-2012 12:32 AM


depends on which type-s right?

the 02-04 has a 4.3 FD and the 05-06 has the 4.7

Jason.AZ1 02-18-2012 12:42 AM


PhxKid92 02-18-2012 08:19 AM

Idles rough where the steering wheel looks like its having a seizure lol the rpms dont jump or anything but it just idles really rough especially when the ac compressor kicks on

Fix.it.again.Tony 02-18-2012 08:48 AM

Check engine mounts

PhxKid92 02-18-2012 08:51 AM

it has hasport mounts all the way around....sometimes it will idle smooth so i dont think its the mounts

Ooccoo 02-18-2012 09:31 AM

Good thread, This makes me want a Kpro.
I've kind of been put off by the price though since I'm in an 06 type S. Wouldn't I need an 02-04 ecu AND kpro to get it all working?

Fix.it.again.Tony 02-18-2012 12:22 PM


no.

you need a kpro with special piggyback cable..



my buddy has it on arizonarsx...along with some other stuff for your year RSX...i'd look into it.. you could probably drive that price down a little.

Dead Bird 02-18-2012 01:32 PM

Well, hasport mounts do vibrate the dick out of everything. If it's especially worse with AC, perhaps the compressor is going bad. Put a pressure gauge on it, and see if it's in spec.

PhxKid92 02-18-2012 02:52 PM

idk it idles decent when the ac is off but when the compressor kicks on it idles really rough... just curious are you going to the rsx meet? ^

locash 02-18-2012 03:52 PM

1. If the idle is higher, the vibration may be significantly minimized, making you happier.. :)

2. I just realized that the Type S trans had shorter gearing. My mistake
