@SPCorBUST it sucks for us, but it appears as though KW will not be delivering on their promise of a CARB approved tune. They've been silent on the topic for a very long time...

Even though CARB doesn't effect me I do believe you guys are right.

SPCorBUST · 03-06-2015, 09:51 PM

They still might get it, and that would definitely be awesome for other owners.

Can you run a c38 with lower boost to achieve the same results as the c30? Any issues with doing this? I'd go with the larger injectors , thinking of doing it this way so I've for scope to increase later when I want to spend more on internals.

Thoughts?

Triumphrider · 03-06-2015, 10:05 PM

@scarfo that is exactly my plan. I'll be running the stock injectors, catless uel header with the c38.

I didn't think injectors and pump are needed for the c38. Unless running e85

@Andreas83 @fteightysix
is it just the top fitting that would have clearance issues? cant really tell from the pics if the bottom fitting will have issues fitting too?? maybe @KraftWerks cant shed some light on this??

Plenty of room for the lower fitting.
I am not sure what type of threads the ports have yet.
I am offshore at the moment, so I will look in to it when i get back home.

Anybody else have problems attaching the two 10mm bolts underneath the bumper? I just removed the bumper to install the updated (adjustable) brackets that KW provided awhile back. The new brackets move the IC further back maybe 1/4" or 3/8" but I still can't seem to get the holes to line up underneath the car. There's literally nothing holding on the bumper underneath the car right now. Name: ImageUploadedByTapatalk1425964806.355610.jpg

You don't really expect anyone to give away their work for free do you?

Not really, maybe just hoping a little bit.

Their tune for Hondas is unlocked for adjustment.

Unfortunately for us it's locked and they refuse to unlock it for anyone. My car was running dangerously lean with their tune. They wouldn't unlock it so we could just adjust the fuel. I had to pay for another tune from someone else

Hey all!

The SC is in and tuned and everything is sweet. 298 whp and 232 tq. Ptuning did a great job! The only issue now is that my car has trouble starting. It takes 2-3 times to finally get her started. The first time will just turn over and die after a few seconds. 2nd time it will kind of start and die or it will fire up. Usually it is finally started by the third time.

I changed the battery to an Optimum Yellow Top and I am still having issues. Any ideas? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I will say she is definitely what I wanted in terms of power. I also have the black intercoller and cut out the grill for a nice clean look. Maybe a build thread in the future.
