[RepyT]

Thanks, not mad, appreciate it.
This proves my point about AWE,, they prioritize orders from high volume vendors over individuals direct, even though AWE says only first in first out.

@RepyT I about did same thing, but got free shipping through Maperformamce.. so went that route.. I love the R , first Nice, moddable vehicle.. not used to having to wait for parts..... currently waiting for a DP, a Turbo Inlet pipe, and a CF Wing... supposedly goin to be up to 2 months.... im a impatient person... this sucks..i hate it..lol

Sweet, keep us posted on modding.
I luckily have (courtesy of ModMage) like new PRL catted DP, IC, HVI arriving tomorrow. Just got PRL Turbo Inlet Pipe (not currently avail from PRL) & IC Charge Pipes. TIP & DP get coated and all get installed, dyno tuned last week of Jul, @368 WHP now w/just Race Chip, should get to 400 I hope.

@RepyT Will do, only parts i got left is the IC upgrade and charge pipes, and a tuner,most likely goin to do Hondata, seems its more preferred by Pro Tuners, got a shop kinda local about 1.5 hrs away that will do Dyno tunes.

Picked up some wheels!

Whered you get "race chip"?

It hasn't been released to the market yet. Repyt has been a beta tester for them for awhile now. I've contacted Race Chip a few times in the past and they've said they are still in the testing phase. Personally I ended up going with Hondata....

 

[Volksparts]

yup. Saga Time Attacks

If they were actually still being made I possibly would've went with them instead of my te37sl's. Such a great looking wheel.

Good choice, Race Chip is another piggyback tuning solution like JB4. It's been out for other platforms for awhile, and the feedback is not very flattering to say the least.

Zombie,
I live 15 miles from their USA HQ here in Florida panhandle so I got mine direct.

it has been publicly available for about four months either direct online or affiliate vendors.

This is a great option for those who want strap on performance gains without warranty issues since OEM ECU is not jailbroken.

Currently RC doesn’t have the tools or versatility of specialty tune systems like Hondata & K-tuner. That won’t change but tunes that work with FBO (and partial, for PRL items) willbe developed as I go FBO end of this month. The tunes used can be pushed to all or specific serial numbers.

Again, as a piggyback (OBD2 not occupied) it’s probably best for the casual power increase vs serious tuner. You get to pick 3 (Eco/Sport/Race) of 7 tunes available and can switch between them via phone app (or directly on the RC ECU under hood) at anytime except under acceleration. You can select a warm-up timer. Unlike car modes that are separate, RC ECU keeps last mode selected after restart.
I’ve never had any problems or CEL so far, buddy in NY has after PRL HVI and they’ll be working on duplicating and resolving that next week.

Although RC claims a conservative 51 WHP gain, I got 81 (70s F, 93 octane, sea level).

They just released the Accord Sport 2.0T version too and my buddy has it, about to go FBO (using R turbo) so we may turn out to have similar gains FBO).

Please see my reply to Volksparts for publicity details and PM for any other aspects/questions. I’m not paid to endorse but was an incidental happy customer with a stock R for modding back in Feb 2020 they used for R & D.
