We can tune the cars under the limits of the clutch for now, it's not a huge deal.

What are the gains with a custom tune from you over the +6 Injen SRI FlashPro base map tune if you have a CVT?? Come on VitViper give us CVT owners something
If you want a custom tune I'm happy to help. The CVT is hard to dyno as the ECU can and will run different boost curves, different throttle positions, etc, even between runs -- especially on FlashPro with the OEM protections/limitations Hondata has left in and doesn't allow us to change at this time. That said there is still some room for improvement to the fuel/timing curves, especially if you have better fuel (done a few 93 octane CVT cars now).

If you want to see what the car can really do, I prefer to do the custom tunes on KTuner right now as I can set the car up either with all the factory protections, some protections, or run it wide open with conservative boost/timing settings -- totally configurable for me right now. I have @SilverGhost running wide open at 20psi on 91 octane without any problems and he's enjoying it.

This might be a noob question but would you be able to do a custom tune for someone living in Europe?

What kind of performance numbers would we be talking about. 0-60, 1/4 mile, trap?

Thank you VitViper for the update on what you have discovered on the CVT. I know this clears things up for me and other CVT owners.. Thanks again[/USER][/QUOTE]

Go to the track, run the car stock. Tune it, run it again. See what you can do. See how you can improve. No one can tell you the track times for your car and your driving. Driver is arguably more important than the car at times, yes even on an auto/cvt.
