Eurospec want 250+vat to map it that's if I supply and fit the kpro.
Abit steep isn't it?

[Cosmic-Dan]

Very reasonable, TDI South charged me the same, remember that is a live custom map from scratch.

[C2AXG]

I suppose. Need to be convinced its worth £900ish though...
Won't rascals mapped kpro be ok for my car until its mapped?

[Cosmic-Dan]

You should be able to upload a generic map to it untill you get the money together to get a custom map. You will also have to get Honda to code your keys as well (£25-£35)

[C2AXG]

Apparently the keys don't need recoding on a jdm....
That's according to rascal anyway :scratch:

Nope, paid £400 for my map.

So is it worth it? It's got 230 atm
I'm after more of smoother delivery and more torque

Is it ever worth TBH if you have the spare cash and can afford to do it and it's what you want to spend your money on then yea, if not then no

Mines never needed recoded am going by what I done to mines.

I bought kpro. Fitted it and installed a basemap and drive it.
That's it.

You should get Kpro soon as your running a decat manifold, and how long has it been ran for without being mapped for it too?

£600 for a JDM Kpro is the cheapest you'll find and VERY hard to come by.
I think that actual Kpro is off of my old JDM too.

Get an RBC and have it fitted and mapped at the same time if your worried about costs, saves paying for another remap if your deciding to add one later.

[C2AXG]

Has anyone got a generic map I can use then for my mods?

Most maps will be for the UKDM. How long are you looking to wait untill you have it properly mapped to your car?

[C2AXG]

Have no idea how long this race header has been on
But it has been tested and air fuel ratio is apparently all ok.
This by all accounts isn't great I no.
If I buy it I would just keep it off completely untill I get it mapped maybe mid year once rbc is sourced ect

It is and you can confirm I paid 800 and at that it was rare I looked for months.

£600 is lowest it's going

You wont need keys coded as JDM EP3 has a retro fitted alarm, I imagine you'll have a Toad or Cobra, it is fitted as part of the SVA test when imported as they don't need to be alarmed in Japan.

The reason UK CTR's need to have keys coded is because the alarm is linked to the ECU.

Kpro is worth it, and if you are able to get hold of one for the JDM EP3 then you should snap it up as they are few and far between. Obviosly you need a map, but there is no problem holding on to it and taking it with you for your mapping session (which I would do ASAP if you are running a manifold on standard ECU)

[bluntcap]

for your "is it wirth it comment" i thought it was just for a random remap when adding a new part, didn't realise you needed to actually buy the KPro 1st. yes KPro is worth it, just ask Stevo M81, recentkly just had his FN2 mapped and he's shocked at the difference it makes to the car's performance and all he has is a better breathing OEM induction DIY jobber.

[C2AXG]

Waiting for a response from rascal about it.

I wondered why it didn't have a factory alarm fob.
It's a sigma alarm or something?
There isn't even a flashing led on the clocks.
Do they not mind having their cars stolen in Japan then? :crazy:

It is fairly crime free.. unlike most of Britain which is ravaged by junkie chav scum.
