The K-Pro Thread

[neoryan7]

Hey Mike, I figured out the whole AC thing today. Works like stock. The thing is cham didn't have very important AC connections hooked up.

You mention that the fan was blowing hot air right like the AC wasnt engaging or something. Well, its because Cham didn't hook up the fan for the stock ecu.

Also, now it idles up like normal too. Cham also did not connect the Alternator signal to the Stock ecu.

PM me if you want sepecifics. I can probably explain better on the phone if you think my explinations are too vague online.

I wish I knew more about what Cham did with my harness, because my a/c works fine.

NICE!!!! RSX Gauge? Where do I sign up lol?

x2....dam that would look so hot

[k24cm_5]

is this working with the dbw.

[BliNx197]

No its Cable

What's going to run your HVAC?

All specifics will be posted Friday or Saturday by Paul or I when its finished. I will say swapping to a Cable TB was cheaper than anticipated. All I needed was a Cable TB and a lil modification. Got a Type-S TB for $70 and sensors for like $40. Not a bad deal at all. Other than that its still running the TSX IM just modified by Paul for the Type-S TB.

Initial impressions of the Cable TB, its incredibly responsive compared to the DBWs hesitation when you hammer it. Ill post pics and vids soon

The RSX ECU and MCU.......

For all intent purposes it will be a Kpro'ed 03 RSX-S, the only functional loss will be TCS, ABS will still function happily.

[timot_one]

Sounds like a damn good solution.  Glad you guys got that shit figured out.  I can't wait to come down and check it out some time.

ok.i need someone to help me out with swap of the tb from dbw to cable.im also interested in doing the kpro as well.can someone PM please
im trying to build a all motor as well i have all the internals to build it but i need to swap this out so i can make the kpro work

[NVA-AV6]

To do the DBW to cable TB there are a couple things needed.

1) eaither get the throttle cable from a 03-04 accord or like I did you have to shorten the outer casing about 1.5", if I had to do it again I would have just ordered the cable.
2) eaither use the correct intake for the cable TB (including RSX intake) or fab a adaptor and weld it on the existing intake.

The entire conversion to run KPro directly needs the following.

02-03 KPro'ed ECU
02-03 RSX-S engine harness
I used part of a extension harness to make a adaptor for the ECU E connector to the accord body connector
A DPDT relay to drive AC functions
RSX gauge cluster (I got a used rsx dash harness for $50 and took the connectors from that and the stock cluster to make a conversion harness to go from the accord to the RSX cluster)
A dakota digital signal modifier for VSS, the RSX cluster takes it speedo signal from the VSS which on the RSX is mounted near the diff and only pulses 4 times per tire revolution, the TSX and Accord use a counter shaft sensor which pulses at 100 times per revolution (yeah 140mph at idle in 1st gear).

The fuel level sender from a RSX to get proper readings for fuel level in the tank.

[timot_one]

Paul, were you able to keep the cruise control when you switched from DBC to DBW?  Did you completely remove the Accord ECU, or did you keep it to run the HVAC?

[NVA-AV6]

^Cruise is out for now, but can be put in from the RSX.
The stock Accord ECU is completely out and the RSX-X ecu put in it's place, HVAC is run by the RSX logic and a added relay.

Again at the end of the day this is a Accord with the brain of a 03 RSX-S.

[CrackerTeg]

Nice work Paul. I like that you killed off the dual ECU option and went with the single ECU instead. The way Hondata should have done to begin with. Nice work. I may look into this option in the future as opposed to the dual setup. Think it's possible?

[NVA-AV6]

Oh it is possible, but like I said way back, this is not nearly as plug and play as the dual ECU and is more costly with the additional wiring and sensors, but in the end is much cleaner looking and operating.
