Are there any users from Europe using this tune?I have the G32 ECU ,not sure what the software number is.
Also This is also available with Hondata but the on the fly map switching isn't available then?
Correct. The Hondata version will basically just be Map 3 with a 16.5 psi tune on the Econ button.

Many of us in Europe, I know at least 12 people using TSP stage1, all of them on ktuner.
Thanks ! Do you have some dyno charts of people who used the TSP STage 1 ?And how about the clutch?Do they all still use the stock clutch?No slipping?

No dyno charts yet from us, there is only one clutch slipping and happened after a downpipe install. But this tune is well calibrated and smooth no torque spikes and good top end. I will eventually change my clutch for a stage1 from exedy.

Any chance we can combine ktuner starter 21 with tsp stage 1? I mean without reflashing each time. I really miss the kick in low end that i had with it, tsp is great above 3k, but below it feels like stock.

The ktuner starter 21 would dyno on those numbers .But this is the tsp stage 1 right?

If they only got 196 hp to the wheels that's absolutely a terrible number. Hondata dyno'd a stock 1.5 at around 190. TSP claims 219 whp. This seems really off although torque seems about right.

I know dynos vary but this hp output is very poor. Maybe we can hear from Derek or TSP.

I see it a bit low. I think it's a combination of the dyno reading low, IAT/ECT temps, humidity (this should be corrected tho) or knock control. We cant be sure without a baseline on the same dyno with the same conditions.

Unless @GixxerMKD has data from testing this vehicle and fuel type on this dyno prior to loading the tune, there is not much we can say about this data. The "Serp" dyno itself and fuel are both two big variables and without baseline data to compare it to, we cannot make any judgement. Hopefully there is baseline data that can be uploaded so that we can compare the two.
