Like I said. No engine management, no turbo. If you don't want to do it right, don't do it, or risk blowing your engine.

Yep, save up and buy the kpro. Yes it is expensive, BUT you make the choice if it is worth saving your car. It's crazy how people will spend so much on so many parts and not anything on an EMS.

dude, you cant boost without engine management, how is your ecu gonna know what to do with the boost?

youv got a LOT of research to do.

Who needs engine management when you have a fpr.

the oem computer has no way to provide anything close to accurate fueling and ignition for the turbocharger. when the ECU sees a positive pressure from the map sensor there is no values because the ECU has no maping for it. it thinks the map sensor is broken. without the extra fuel needed, and without ignition timing taken out for the added airflow will kill that motor very quickly even at 5psi.

K pro is the best way to tune an RSX on boost. its not a bad price for what you are getting, a standalone ECU with a lot of excellent features.

thanks guys for all the info....very helpful...the only reason is bc i turbo my friends b20 and its running at 4 psi with no tuned ECU (Yet he is working on getting a p28)....but it seems to run fine...also i have a friend with a 2000 civic and my friend put a turbo from a ford probe....and hes been running his car the way it is for the past year (its doing 5psi)...thats y i had to ask about the k20. i got my turbo kit already, i just need the kpro. Does anyone know where i can find one for decent prize?

Also would the reflash work?...its the cheaper version that hondata makes for the k20?
