You could sell it and just buy a UEGO sensor, they are 60 bucks to replace. They are bosch wideband sensors. You just use the "options>settings>wideband input" and plug in the wideband voltage values. There is now no need for the expensive RSX-S sensor. If you are halfway decent with a soddering kit, you can forget the casper conversion harness too.

To add, the RSX-S sensor is not mandatory. You can use a Bosch UEGO replacement sensor from AEM or just in general. Then you can either get the casper harness or soldering the existing connector. You can plug in the voltage charts I provided in the other thread to the Kpro values for wideband input and you can save yourself 200 bucks. The replacement sensor is only 60 bucks.

Figured I would jump into this thread again since it's been a while.  I've been running KPro on my car for about a month now.  Fortunately Cham doesn't live to far from me right now, so he has been a huge asset and has helped me out immensely.  After we got most of the bugs worked out, it has been running smooth with a bit more power.  I'm still idling high, and sometimes the idle seems to stick at 1500 until I blip the throttle, but I believe that has to do with the tune.  I am going to try and get myself to a dyno soon to see what kind of power I'm making at the wheels with all of my bolt ons and KPro.

The civic may be running on a different protocol...something about the ECU that can be altered...who cares if it doesn't work with our cars...we can use Kpro..The only advantage of this system is that you can tune everybody under the sun and charge money for it because you don't need to buy an actual ECU to tune the car.  Tuning is done with the stock ECU and you can recoup your money incredibly fast by tuning people's cars.  Tuners are probably going crazy trying to get their hands on these hotcakes.

I'm somewhat turned off by hondata...I called them to address a complaint when I sold my Kpro to a fellow on ClubRSX and the rep sounded ambivalent and uncaring.  Of course they can get away with being like that since they have a monopoly in the K series market, and I understand that they get a LOT of dumb questions in their call center..but it would be better if they at least sounded like they gave a crap.  Hondata are smart enough to make their call center system so advanced as to make you basically authenticate that you've tried everything before calling them...the least they could do would be to care about who they were talking to...Not for nothing..I'm still a very dedicated supporter of their products, but I am ashamed that their support center had the attitude that they did when I called.  I know they didn't know it was "me"..but I wish they "did".

Wait I thought that 06-07s and TSXs couldnt use Kpro before because of their DBW systems... or am I mistaken?

There must be some difference between the two ECU's otherwise hondata would not have different products available for those two applications.

It could, but someone needs to try it out.  Hondata said that KPro wouldn't run on our cars, and I have been running KPro since February.  If you have DBW TB, I'm sure Cham can figure it out if he had access to an 06-07 Accord.

A kpro solution has recently been released for the 1st gen TSX.  It implements a dual ECU setup similar to our own solution.  Hondata modifies the stock ECU so it will run in the dual setup.  This fact leads me to believe honda ECU's are not as locked down as much as I once believed.  The FPRO solution may work, but I wouldn't consider buying a unit for testing purposes.  If I were looking to see if this would work, I would wait a couple of months for mainstream tuners to acquire them so that you can find a tuner competent in its usage and then roll up to ask if they could try it out on your vehicle.
