This platform is in a holding pattern due to lack of aftermarket parts to take it further.
what kind of aftermarket parts are you waiting for? is it not possible to release one feature at a time? i.e. TC : > i understand with 2step anti lag and Flex Fuel... or is it the start and stop dev that's gonna cost a lot for you?

it's been really quiet on the ktuner side.. no plans switching like a lot of people are to Hondata... BUTTT i really wish we had Traction Control coming for our platform....

Flex Fuel... whatever for me.. but TC i am sure everyone can benefit from.. updates or at least a "we are working on it" would amazing
Agreed.

Understand they don't want to release flex fuel support with the limitations of the fuel system. Then once that limitation can be overcome then provide the support. But give me traction control and maybe even full throttle shifts.

Stage 2 and Flex have been everyone's concern since launch day and we're still waiting on parts that would allow that to happen. We've been blocked from helping these parts make it to market. Not having a path forward has unfortunately slowed any development progress on this platform.

Ktuner has the best interest of the safety and reliability of this platform at heart.

lol, can't say I'm surprised. I went from ktuner to hondata for the TC...as for those using Flex Fuel I felt like it was going to run into some limits even with the flex fuel.

But I know what you mean, hondata will bring things out like this...such as that two step, or anti lag...not sure why anyone would do that to their car just to make loud pops/bangs...sounds really bad for the car :eek:

Hopefully Ktuner can release the TC for you guys though...it honestly is awesome to have.

Details
What you/they are describing is what is commonly called "anti-lag" in the aftermarket ECU world. The concept of using fuel and ignition retard to maintain turbo spool has been around for at least 30 years, probably longer in fact. Modern aftermarket ECUs have it pretty well sorted out at this point, if you know how to tune it without doing engine damage.

And to somewhat put a period on how it works, the fuel is not in fact so much burned in the exhaust, it is still primarily burned in the cylinder. The difference is that the burning process occurs so late in the cycle, the piston is already far enough down in the cylinder that it is past the the point in the power stroke where the cylinder pressure can be converted into crankshaft work. So instead of the heat and pressure being converted to work on the crankshaft, that heat/pressure goes out the exhaust valve and pressurizes the exhaust, which spools the turbo.

There is usually some unburned fuel going out as well, that is the pops and bangs you hear. But I promise you that only a small portion of the fuel is burning in the exhaust, it doesn't take much fuel to go BANG in the exhaust. If it was all burning in the exhaust, it would blow the exhaust apart."

Not willing to discuss the politics. It's unfortunate.
