My KTuner experience - an ongoing journal

[Barticus520]

Just uploaded to my car. Did basically what you (gtman)did except change the boost table for all levels. Topped at 22psi. I’ll upload later but lowered psi is some lower rpms by .5-1 psi and attempted to smooth out the power curve. Feels good in the 5 minute drive I just took.

Just got my first ktuner v2 today! I am brand new to the tuning community and have been reading and following your journal. I have a 2019 Honda Civic hatchback sport cvt and I uploaded the dual 21 starter and wow is all I can say!
Do you have any tips or advice for me? Have you tried disabling the turbo boost in 1st gear or all together? I want to take care of the cvt while still enjoying the tune.

thanks

First gear Boost by gear I set to 17 psi. I did try 2nd gear bbg at 17 but it went to about 40 before really getting full power so I only do first hear more. I spoke to gtman and he does 18.

If you want to be very conservative, try setting boost by gear to 13-14 psi in first. Also, you could turn off early spool in the quick enables if you currently use that.

Thank you for your input! If I just upload the dual 21 starter without making any changes is that fine? I noticed early spool wasnt enabled by default. I created a new one with early spool and the 3 maps to try it out. I made map 1 stock everything and map 3 with all the improvements. I will upload on the weekend to see how it goes. I followed the video below for the adjustments but did my own thing for the 3 maps.

"all the improvements". Please tell me you didn't disable boost ramp?

I selected improve ramp 1 and improve ramp 2 for another. Is that fine?

Lol don’t disable boost ramp.

Yes.

Stole this ! Thanks

Keep in mind that's a fairly aggressive setup.

Hey guys, just jumping into tuning here and I'm trying to do as much research as I can.
Thanks for all the info you've compiled over the years, I have yet to go through all of it...but just curious, what is ECO target for? Is this a setting for the ECON mode?

Yes that's the target when you press the Econ button.
