2016 Civic EX-T
Hi everyone, this is my first time really using the forum so forgive me if I'm starting a new thread on something that's already been covered. So here's the deal.. Ive had my 2016 EX-T for about 2 years now and im thinking of tuning it. Ive already made up my mind that I want to use Ktuner. My problem is that I live in Ca, and I dont really know what I'm doing. All I want is a base tune that gives my car more power when im not in Eco mode. I'm not trying to make this thing a race car, I just want it to have a bit more punch for fun. Theres a tuning shop near me willing to flash my ecu for $300. Is that reasonable? Or should I just buy my own unit? All feeback is appreciated

It really only takes a couple of minutes and a laptop to learn what you need to do to reflash an ECU with one of the provided maps from either KTuner or Hondata.

The KTuner V1.2 with basemap will more than make you happy. Go for it!
