Hello Fellow CivicX Enthusiasts!
It brings me great pleasure to announce our release of KTuner for the 17+ Civic Type-R!!!!
For those of you looking for a little more in depth information on our journey and where we're headed, check out the KTuner and the Type-R – Where do we go from here? post on our website. http://www.KTuner.com/ktunertyper
The short of it is simple. KTuner is available starting tomorrow for the Civic Type-R.
To those of you who have continued to call and email us about supporting this platform, thank you. We apologize that we couldn't spill the beans on how close we were to release, but it is a competitive market.
Who will be supported?
Absolutely not. The rumors that these ECUs were super difficult or expensive to get into are not true. Or at least they didn't have to be. The only additional cost will be having your ECU unlocked.
How much is unlocking and how will it work? Shipping?
We will be able to get all scheduled incoming ECUs out the same day they're received.
How will we be rolling it out?
We've seen how enthusiastic the market is about tuning options coming and we expect the first few weeks to be something close to overwhelming.
What tunes will be included?
Much like we launched the 1.5T, there will be limited access to change settings in our initial staged tunes, but we will be including additional access with starter maps as we publish tuning information and train our dealers on this new ECU platform. Of course we'll also be including quick adjustments in our starter maps as well, just like the 1.5T platforms!
Flash back to factory or between tunes at any time!
How to get in touch!!!
We know there are going to be a lot of excited members out there, but we would like to keep our phone lines open for support calls. If you're interested in KTuner for the Type-R please contact us via email only. [email protected]
Thank you for understanding. We're looking forward to working one on one with a lot of you! I hope everyone is as excited as we are!
Regards,
KTuner

Who will be supported?
- We plan to support not only all FK8s worldwide, but also FK2 owners as well.
- This week we are rolling out support for United Stated Type-R owners.
- We are beginning to train a dealer in Canada who will be able to perform unlocks for the Canadian market. We hope to launch support for Canada in the upcoming weeks.
- We already have dealers established who will be unlocking for regions in Europe and regions in Asia once we're ready to release for those markets.
Absolutely not. The rumors that these ECUs were super difficult or expensive to get into are not true. Or at least they didn't have to be. The only additional cost will be having your ECU unlocked.
- KTunerFlash V1.2 will be available for $699 with unlock.
- KTunerFlash V2 will be available for $899 with unlock.
- Any KTuner V1.2 or V2 will work, so no need to get a special unit for the Type-R if you already have a KTuner unit and get a Type-R later on down the road.
How much is unlocking and how will it work? Shipping?
- Your ECU currently needs to be sent in for a one time unlock.
- ECUs for our U.S. customers will come directly to KTuner for unlocking.
- We will add additional dealers authorized to unlock in the U.S. shortly.
- The cost of unlocking separate from a full kit purchase is $300 and that includes return overnight shipping in the United States.
- Special shipping arrangements may be an option in certain circumstances.
- Return packages will require signature. No exceptions.
We will be able to get all scheduled incoming ECUs out the same day they're received.
How will we be rolling it out?
We've seen how enthusiastic the market is about tuning options coming and we expect the first few weeks to be something close to overwhelming.
- We will be scheduling ECU shipments with everyone in an effort to have minimal downtime for everyone sending their ECUs in and to prevent getting backed up.
- We are taking orders this week for those who want a V1.2.
- We will begin taking orders for those who want a V2 the week of March 6th.
What tunes will be included?
- We are launching with a stage 1 tune adding 20whp, more in the low-midrange, and 60wtq.
- 91+ Octane required.
- Our stage 2 is already in development.
Much like we launched the 1.5T, there will be limited access to change settings in our initial staged tunes, but we will be including additional access with starter maps as we publish tuning information and train our dealers on this new ECU platform. Of course we'll also be including quick adjustments in our starter maps as well, just like the 1.5T platforms!
