Buying Hondata and thinking it’s better - $500

Buying ktuner and thinking it’s better - $500

Asking which is better without searching the forum about it for 900th time - pricelessss

You can't go wrong with either one. We're lucky to have two great tuning choices.

This question has been asked over and over. It's like asking if vanilla is better than chocolate. Only difference is the ice cream is easier to digest than a Hondata or KTuner.:cool:

I own and have used both. Ktuner v1.2 is better. map switching, pocketable, more responsive support, better android apps. Also ktuner was the preferred solution by Vit, and is the preferred solution of Derek.

KTuner for 1.5T. Hondata for 2.0T. Can’t go wrong with either if buying used to save a few bucks.

I've had both as well. There's nothing wrong with hondata. If you only plan on doing a few bolt ons and are fine with just the base maps, then keep it. But, if you plan on taking your car its limits I'd say ktuner. Reason being like Micah said it has better apps like tunerview lite, very responsive customer support, things like on the fly map switching and 2 step etc and is the recommended tuning solution used by Derek who also happens to have worked closely with ktuner. And he is basically THE guy to go to to get your si tuned if you're wanting to push to the limits of this platform.

It’s subjective.. personal preference. You want touch screen or no touch screen. Tsp stage 2 or no tsp stage 2.
