You must have a flashpro and you must upload a MAP based calibrations.

These can be found under the select calibration tab when you click NEW calibration.

There are a few MAP based tunes, we find the AEM V2 tunes to be sufficent in allowing the car to run properly. This IS NOT A FINAL TUNE. You should consult with a tuner and have them review your datalogs and adjust them according to your mods.

We are NOT responsible for damage to your engine. DO NOT run this intake without Flashpro. DO NOT start the car unless you are confident you have selected and uploaded the correct calibration.

Re-install the body parts and fill the system with coolant.

You must change the calibration on your Hondata Flash-Pro before cranking the engine. This intake is NOT designed to work with a MAF sensor, so upload a MAP based tune accordingly.
