Paul wasn't motivated?

TDI had the task to plant the 4P K330 engine into the engine bay. If you had a look in the calibration and WOT logs you would have seen:

• Engine cooling temperature increased too long and get over 99 °C, because the coolant setup (EWP driven) wasn't calculated and designed sufficiently
• The ign. timing was too advanced, during race there was way too much knock
• Knock control setup wasn't done correctly, it wasn't able to catch up knock situations to calm it down
• Intake flow routing and radiator was done so badly that intake temperatures increase over 40 °C on a 20 °C day
• Idle was tuned only roughly and a wrong set ign. timing table to recover the engine below set point idle speed supported engine stall but not engine stabilization
• Acceleration fuel setup was zero'd and not tuned as it should be on a 20k€ engine
• ...

The Honda ECU emulators are easy to tuners, they allow not much wrong adjustments on safety functions, while ECU's like the AEM Infinity is full of pitfalls for those who don't know the engine demands very well and the reflecting functions of the ECU software.

If you agree, I will check your engine calibration and log data. We would see if Paul was motivated tuning your engine well enough .

Heh.. erm, well... situation with my tune is rather funny. I paid for Ktuner at first and obviously a tune, so 600 for piggyback and 450 for tune. Ktuner had to be swapped for hondata, but essentially he tuned it with something called "programming tool" or something. And apparently, despite me paying 600 quid, I never got my hondata box from him, after few messages he said that I need to buy hondata again and then he can send me tune file?? Obviously, I'm 22, at the time I was 20, still in uni (to this day), i couldnt afford another 600 quid outta my arse, so I gave up on it, and left it.
I mean, so far engine runs fine, but I don't push it all the time, most this engine sees is like 2-3 minutes of WOT every once in a while, so Im not necessarily agressive with it.

So yeh, thats the situation.

Oh, that sounds not nice. I assume he tuned it on a Hondata K100 emulator, which still need a KPro to "flash" the K100. More information on that you find on the Hondata website: k100 (hondata.com). So what he meant to buy again is likely you should buy KPro (upgrade to that from K100 is cheaper, but not in total for both) so that he can tune your ECU remotely or by Email by sending you just adjusted calibration files. I believe this is all a misunderstanding of you both and Paul didn't inform you well about the deal and what it means for you.

If you have K100, there will be no option for you to see the actual calibration as there is no interface for your computer. You would need KPro for that. Sorry for not having better news for you on that.

Yeah, I'm not too bothered thankfully, I'm fairly understandable when it comes to things like it.
It's a shame cuz I cant modify anything in the tune, and I can't be bothered travelling all the way to there to get something stupid tuned in 😅
Essentially, none of this will matter when I put k20 in there. I may try someone else when tuning K20T, see what happens I guess.
