Well did it at least buy you dinner first?
I mean, details help. Probably start there?
Well, that may have contributed, but who knows? Some key points;
Sorry to here this buddy my condolences
I have to ask. We're starting to see a few of these catastrophic things with the TSP Stage 1 tune. From what you say you were just driving in an ordinary way at low speed. Should Si owners be concerned about this tune?
Yes, I have a dash cam. which shows the time frame it happened. At the moment, we don't know what is going on. I am not here to point fingers at anyone. More of sharing my current situation with my car.
Correct, if knock was present I would have caught it. This is not my first rodeo..
Keep us informed to your findings Im curious. No knock control movement previously that you noticed? Sounds like you were even monitoring/logging things as you should....
I will, hopefully we find something. Yes, I have a v2 and monitor most if not all of the important parameters. There have been a few times that the k.control was up in the .60-.70s but nothing crazy.
Yes, I took out the mid resonator and nothing was changed in the k.control via the V2
This all begs the question. Would you install tsp stage 1 tune again after your experiences? Can you honestly say that none of your driving habbits could have contributed to your car commiting suicide? There are no judgments here. I'm running this tune also and I tend to get on it when I can. I don't do any tracking though.
I was thinking of TSP 2, flex fuel + catted DP + Spec 2+ Steel flywheel in the near future.. but I would like to have a local tuner do fine adjustments. Yes, just like anyone would... We like to have fun when permitted. I get on it as well, never launch or bounce off the rev limiter.
lmao, pretty much anytime someone posts about a tune or a blown motor you wonder if people should be concerned and I cant help but laugh. Like there are so many other things that are going to be the cause before a base map or TSP tune is the outright cause. We have no idea how these people beat on the car or how much 2 stepping or anti lagging they do. Of course they dont want to admit it either. They always say, "I babied the car" until a friend rats them out or they finally admit what they did after they get it fixed.
Your local tuner wont be able to fine tune a TSP tune, its locked down except for "disables"
I'll be the first to admit, I worry when I see these posts. That doesn't mean I don't understand that often it wasn't the tune, it was abuse or something else. Still though, I'm not going to blindly assume it's never the tune. Like I say, there is risk in tuning, to some extent no matter how small. But I have faith that KTuner and Hondata erred on the side of caution with their base tunes. In this case, I simply posed the question if anyone was concerned who had the TSP tune. I'm sure it's a phenomenol tune, I simply asked.
you're a worry wart is why i laughed is all. No hard feelings buddy
For every engine that dies from an overrev, I bet there's a hundred or more that shrug it off and keep going w/o any issue. The RSX forums had some pretty epic overrev given their already-high redlines. Most were always fine. Over 10,000 RPM was pretty standard... but reflashes brought the rev limiter to 8600 so... yeah...
