K24 RSX HOW TO CRACKLE / BURBLE TUNE 2.0

[@Shinigrami]

You’re one of the first to show how it’s done Thank you sooo much

[@RobertDooley-sl7cp]

People think you're a douche when you drive like that. Actual car guys know what a race motor sounds like vs your farting sound.

[@melissahollandsbiggestfan5812]

Noe Varela is it bad to daily this if tuned like this?

[@boyflexnv]

Melissa Holland’s Biggest Fan to an extent I would assume. I wouldn’t recommend it but I’m not a tuner, I would honestly ask them what’s the pros and cons are.

[@youwantshum9860]

Noe Varela there are no pros, just cons. The extra fuel added to make crackles and pops in the exhaust means more fuel consumption, possible damage to the cat, possible damage to other exhaust components (not very likely). And general combustion in the exhaust system isn't really good for the engine too.

Yes its true you are one of the first to share this settings. Its not a necessary mod,but sure does sound nice. Gotta be careful here in California though,get pulled over fast. Ill try the timing setting only just in case. Ill try -1° easier on the engine not as loud i hope lol.

been doing it this way on hondata for about 2 years, now the secrets finally out..

[@lcfitness7697]

Estevan Dominguez same way as the vid

[@BulliKid]

Thanks for the video. Gave me a few ideas. Here I am decreasing timing about 5-10 degrees and still around 13 and you are going negative….that’s probably the secret for big pops and crackles. A bit too much for me. But I’ll be sure to add the fuel cut delay time higher for 1-2 gear

[@back2backlos]

Ive been looking forever to see if its ok to stay in the positives, -‘s sound like war on my Honda 😂

[@dannythompson1948]

I am so happy to have stumbled across one of your builds, which led me to your channel.. this is amazing info

[@amishlaptop]

For auto trans drivers ! 1. you have to use the manual shifting mode for pops. And also adjust between 2k-4krpm in the left two Columns of the high map (the map with the H) As well as 2krpm and 2250rpm in the third colomn this is where the auto shifting rsx "manual mode" decelerated at for me. I found -8 timing slow down to be a great sweet spot.

[@ronniejohnson3781]

Subscribed just because someone actually shows some of what tuning is about, a good friend of mine has a built head stock bottom b20v and needed a decent tune but didnt have 500+$ so I put my wide band in his car checked timing new plugs, went out on the street did a few pulls btw neither of us own a lap top so we had to take his ECU in his house and do the adjustments on his home computer, we got it pretty decent in a couple hours, took it to the track and ran consistent 13.2 at 105+ on street tires neither of us have tuning experience what so ever but now I'm getting a lap top it looks alot more simple now I see how it highlights where your reving in the timing table hopefully the fuel table

So for auto crackle you just -5 for 2000rpm and up on all degree tabs in high/low ignition tables and overrun delay to 2000 in all gears. Simple enough.

[@tuningbynick]

[@osvaldocardenas4026]

Is it only low or is high to?

[@DaMovienator]

It might be that simple but this is way to much crackle.. id rather do a custom job on the ignition retardkng tables and do -values or low ones at least for a soft crackle at around 5000, then 3000-4000 and again a small else tion around the 2250 mark.. when doing a run itll only crackle a. it and not go ROAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR until the car stops basically😂😂 I dont think cops would love to see this as well.. wouldnt beentoo much of a concern to me when tuning but still id rather not get my car shut down by cops for having a bad tune :D

And then he got pelted by this stuff every time he went out. It didn't take him long to realize that it wasn't cool and it just really pissed people off. Before he got around to putting the car back to normal, someone got a can of that expanding foam and filled his exhaust. No more crackle / burble...

I would like it to make it pop and bang when I want. I don't think I could stand having it crackle pop and bang Everytime I change gears. How would it work if you want to be in control of it. Tapping accelerator when shifting? I have Toyota MR2 spyder Edit: 7:00 you explained it here. Exactly what I was looking for

[@reydelosangeles4399]

visualinspirations I thought the same exact thing. I don’t mean to be a party pooper, but picture yourself driving in a city. At some point you’re bound to drive by a cop. You already have a loud muffler, now with pops and crackles its a sure way to get pulled over. I would set it above 4K that way you have some control when you’re driving in situations where you don’t want to draw attention to yourself.

Awesome video man! Very detailed. What about flames? How they come out? Do I need to turn the fuel table richer on the 2000-8100 low load range?

[@tuningbynick]

The higher settings should shoot flames on the street - If not, more fuel can be added but its trial and error - Also, it wont flame at all if you have a CAT

[@adamr7172]

Hey man just saying thanks. I followed the video for my stock k20 06 type s with I/H/E and it works great. I did -15 on the timing and I adjusted the fuel cut as well as you showed. The peek pops are around 4kish rpm when I downshift or rev up and let go of throttle. If I downshift into 5-6k rpm it doesn’t really pop like it does at 4K rpm. Any idea why? Thanks again for the video tho!!!

[@tuningbynick]

Adam R - did you adjust the High load tables aka. The VTEC tables. I purposely didn’t talk about them because there is more to tuning them and a bit more potential for damage if done wrong.

[@adamr7172]

Tuning by Nick honestly I just did what you showed in the video! I have ktuner as well and literally just pretty much copied what you showed lol Otherwise, I don’t know much about tuning really. I just adjusted map 0 and map 15 the first 2 columns after 2000 rpm like you showed at -15. I didn’t change anything else other then what you showed I’m not complaining it’s still awesome for now and appreciate the video just found it strange if I rev up to 6k and get off the throttle it wouldn’t pop as much as if I rev to 4K and let go

[@rayzian]

great video, but with the delay set to 2000ms why does it continue to crackle even after 2 seconds?

[@arvinsanvelian7884]

I've tried the same method but it doesn't do it with my Kpro V4, also it doesn't have Fuel Cut Delay in the settings!

[@tuningbynick]

The ignition timing part should be the same, but the load columns might be different depending on your specific tune. Kpro doesnt offer the same fuel cut delay, there is only a check box in the "closed loop" menu - Make sure that is not checked

[@wgjay950]

@@tuningbynick So I also have the Kpro v4 and there is a box ,under closed loop, and its to disable the fuel overrun cutoff delay. Would disabling this be almost the same thing as adjusting?

[@yardman0001]

@@tuningbynick Nick in Ktuner there's a box in closed loop settings that says "wot based on map only" what does that do? The first time I got tuned it was unchecked then I went back to my tuner and he checked it and said that box should be checked. I'm all motor RSX btw

[@tuningbynick]
