Thoughts on Hondata maps

So I got bored today and Replicated Hondatas Mt.+9psi map for my Cvt, all the numbers are exactly the same, But I'm not sure if I want to upload the map. I'm not sure if there is more to building maps or tuning on the Hondata

Don't do that unless you want to break your CVT.

The CVT can't handle the extra torque I believe which is why they didn't make the +9 available for the CVT in the first place.

Don't do it! Unless you have some spare cash for a new CVT!
But if you do, please post results

I plan on converting it to a 6spd. Whenever I see one

Here is a nice chart showing stock vs +6 vs +9. (6MT)


+9 kinda falls off up top.

if you know how to read datalogs i did a few short burst runs

my knock retard went as high as 12. i am not sure if that's bad

Can you export a map with the knock control figure instead of knock retard?

i have no ideal. all the other datalogs i've done my knock level has always been at zero, but my knock retard has gone to 7 on other maps

you cant just copy the boost table from the 6mt +9 psi to the cvt map. it doesn't just work like that. You still dont have access to the max boost/tq it allows on the cvt. if you didnt notice. you are still running the same amount of boost

not saying i know what i am doing, i did notice i dont have access to those tables. Also i went through all the other settings and switched them to match, and i did notice it ran faster then the 6psi. But it was just for fun i went back to the injen 6psi map i would need to run higher octane

Just changing the boost table on the CVT maps has minimal effect since Hondata has effectively gimped anyone's ability to extract power from the CVT. I have employed some other trickery to get the boost up on CVT FlashPro customers cars. I have a few people running stable 19-21psi even with .5 KC.

i wish i knew how to read datalogs. i am sure im running too rich, which means ill burn up my cat. i live in a small town were tuning is not availible

Your best bet is probably to hire a pro tuner to develop an e-tune for you. It can be done via email. No offense but it does not sound like you know how to monitor knock correctly which means if a bad tune was hurting your engine you would not know it until it is too late. I'm no expert but I'd advise against further experimentation until you learn more about what you are doing. Just trying to help.

Get an e-tune from Vit!
