K-Tuner Preset Tune Requirements? Is FBO Required for 1.1 tune?

[RL - NJ]

I ordered a K-Tuner V2 which should be arriving in the coming weeks. I don't have a PRL downpipe yet so I can't run the PRL FBO tune so I was thinking about running the 1.1 tune. Do you need to be FBO to run this? Thanks!

I remember reading that the tune was developed for a stock car

You can use it on a stock car. I really enjoyed it.

Any reliability issues?

No just tire spin. I’m now FBO on hondata using a phearable tune

I didn't have any issues as well. I have Perrin intercooler and one resonator removed in the exhaust. I even advanced the ignition timing 3 degrees on that tune from 4800rpm on up since I run exclusively 93 octane. Also I lowered the torque request at WOT in 1st and 2nd gear and I barely get any tire spin. Really like the tune after my few tweaks. Heres a virtual dyno plot that I took of it (green) vs the phearable tune (red) that I also have.

Do you mind sharing how to do that virtual dyno?

Virtual dyno is a software that you can download for free from the internet. Once you have it you have to add the civic type-R to the software because the developer doesnt have it on there yet…or at least it wasnt there a year ago. To get a dyno plot you have to datalog a 4th gear pull on the highway and then export it as a (i forgot what its called) file in the hondata or Ktuner software. Then you open that exported file in virtual dyno and see your power! It has shown to be very accurate for me.
