Hi CivicX/Type R community! Been a while since I made an actual thread.
I've spent the past few weeks writing a significantly more in depth guide to tuning an FK8 on Hondata. It covers nearly every parameter, table, and feature as well as the internal workings and strange behaviors of the ECU and how to properly approach tuning it.
You can find it on the FK8 Wiki here: https://fk8.wiki/Hondata_Tuning_Guide
Please let me know your thoughts, if I should add anything, or if there's something you think should be changed. I hope that this guide can help all tuners, professional or otherwise, make better calibrations for the FK8 so that the K20C1 can continue to be known for it's long term reliability under significantly increased power levels. Even though I myself professionally tune them, my potential competition blowing up engines or not making decent power with custom tunes will do me no good.
Because Honda chose to use a Bosch ECU in the FK8, prior experience tuning Hondas doesn't really get you far. If you're a professional tuner, self-tuner, or somebody who is just really scientifically curious like me, this guide has damn near every single topic covered. It's gigantic, but every piece of information is vital to properly tuning a Type R. It only covers topics specific to the FK8 and not tuning in general.
This guide is not meant for those who want to just get tuned or flash a basemap or anything like that. It is meant for those that already understand or are in the process of learning EFI tuning. There is lots of information in there that could be useful to some Type R owners, though.
