Hi guys,

Can you share your dyno tips & tricks for FK8?

I got into some limp mode where I was unable to change modes while doing first run.
I cleared itself after 10km on the road, but was wondering, what I need to "turn off" before starting a run?

Also, what other tips you have for tuning on the dyno?

I had my Dynoed in Florida last year and my car had to be in R mode in order to dyno it. After it was done the tech told me codes would stay on and to drive it around for a bit and they would go off which they did. I also spray the intercooler between pulls in order to help with heat soak since it was so hot in Florida.

Stick the car in R mode, press and hold the VSA button until you get the message that it's fully disabled, and limit steady state driving on the dyno.

Do you custom tune Hondata?

R mode is not for dyno testing. You have to pedal dance it in sport.

What gains can i get on a email flash versus my current numbers and whats the price?
Derek tuned my car on KTuner and has been able to achieve 376 whp / 387 wtq up from some where around 305 whp / 315 wtq. Without Derek's custom tune, I was running the Ktuner basemap which put me at 344 whp (so a 30 whp gain over the basemap).

Full bolt-ons (see my signature for a link to my build thread).

You will not be disappointed!

See my response. 376 whp with FBO + his custom tune.
But what about no upgraded parts and i am currently making 331 whp and 361tq. Can on just a email flash will i attain another 25 to 30 whp with just a tune without changing anything?
