Tuned my 10th Gen Honda Accord + POV drive (Ktuner: New update) VERY FAST!!

VanGogh34 😂😂😂

Family sedan? Blech. I think luxury sports car sounds better, there's just an air of professionalism and sophistication to the car yet a sleek agile facade that you can't get with most cars.

@@Ace_of_Hornsit’s a sedan man. Not a luxury car

@@pwdt4r313 id say its much nicer than other sedans, and if you customize the car a bit you CAN achieve that luxury look.

@@Ace_of_Horns youre an artist with words man

fly n fury of course no problem. And yes if I don’t know anything I won’t mess with it. Sprint booster is great. I think you are the one that told me to get it a while ago and I didn’t get it cuz I was thinking to ktune my car so I waited. And I think it was 200-300. Mind as well just ktune it haha. I would say get the ktuner and try selling your sprint booster if you can. Not sure if you watched the end of the video when I was driving the car. I was having fun lol.

Legend17 I watched the whole thing. I might do that.

fly n fury 👌🏻😊

Wow that’s amazing!! And I am glad it worked for you

How's liability of the car after the tune?

@@wheatlyteal cars been perfect and now I’m custom tuned (check my channel). I’ve been on Ktuner since 700 miles and not 1 hiccup yet

I have a new ktuner for sale for a 1.5 accord never used I need to sale

​@@underdogg328How much?

Julio Morales thank you so much. I appreciate it! It’s my iPhone wide angle 🤫 iPhone 11 Pro

@@Iegend17 haha nice! It fooled me.

Teufel Hund I feel u haha. Same here tbh. I followed what people did on KZhead tbh.

So true

fear is the only thing in your way! If you can create a youtube account and comment on a video you can upload a tune like this! lmao

Specially newer cars

same same,

I APPROVE OF THIS MESSAGE, lmao!

hahahhahaha

yesss, man i loved the stock, but with the tune its amazing lol, it made the car breathes much better, i dont even have a Downpipe, intercooler, and exhuast, I am thinking to get the TLX type s with 350hp, thats why i dont wanna spend so much money on my accord, my friend offered me $15k to buy her and i was like hell noooo.

@@Iegend17 15k? Yeah I dont think so, lol! But yeah I would love to tune mine i just don't want to shell out the 500 for the tuner.

I did love my 10th gen accord, but I didn’t like the turbo lag. I’ll probably get another accord next summer. How did this affect your gas mileage?

You definitely should. I felt like the video was too long. Maybe it’s long cuz the POV drive. But I figured more people will watch since there is a drive. No video has POV drive like this so I decided to make one. But you seriously should consider it. It’s amazing. And I love it.

Js gave me an idea👀

Ah dude this works on my 4 banger accord ?!that sweet I just have a base lx ,can easily get over 200 w this now

HI, can this work for Honda Accord R20?

Will this work on my honda accord 2022 1.5?

Why not the older r18?

TheKingkingg glad you like it. I love my car but i might get the tlx when it comes out 😍

@@Iegend17 awesome choice...I'm keeping my Accord Sport and going to order TLX Type S for my wife as a surprise...she used to say accord is for old people, but she has been absolutely loving it since we bought it, she even want to get one more just for her, so I'll get TLX Type S to surprise her maybe on her birthday next year

How were the MPGs

Amaan Qureshi I appreciate it. Thank you so much. Trying my best. Not perfect or even near it but I am gonna keep working hard

HondaMods got for it it will be sooo fun to drive.

Maximo Carrasco me too , have you done this yet ??

I have a 2020 1.5 interested as well of your results

Landon Longbrake I have a 1.5 2020 sport and it’s dope af def not a waste of time. Let’s see your broke boy car😂

I know a lot of people did it with their 1.5t and they said it made the car breathes and accelerate better.

@@rolof5795 not yet. Maybe in a few months

It’s a Honda lol. She will be fine hahah

Stock internals can take A LOT of abuse. I used to have a VW and the car was designed for 200hp and APR was making big turbo kits which we installed giving us 400+ on stock internals, no problems. Things get messy when opening up the engine.

That’s what you think until you blow a head-gasket. Yes, it’s a Honda, but you’re still wearing out components faster than normal.

@@millys4368 I own this car, BTW. I’m not just a dick-rider like some peeps here

Stephany Lazo sorry for the late reply and it’s safe and very easy to install.

I believe he had stated that it does remove the limiter automatically, (response to someone else who had asked the same question) Hope this helps.

The ktuner removes it

mdw1000 Ktuner is very safe and big company. But thank u

@@Iegend17 he means you should connect a battery charger/maintainer while flashing an ecu. If the battery dies you will brick your ecu. It doesnt matter that ktuner is a good company. If your car battery dies while flashing a tune it will brick the ecu

Jeremy Pennycook a great mode. Car picks up insanely. I would say drive it stock for a while so u could tell the difference. But it makes it a completely different.

I've driven 8600 miles alrdy

@@jeremypennycook5514 I have 2020 white sport 2.0T myself. It feels fast without out a tune. lol. I have about 4k miles because of covid19, otherwise it would have been close to 14k miles already because of my commute.

@@jeremypennycook5514 i have a 18 2.0T touring. And i have the ktuner V2 installed, i went for stage 2 but on the settings i have it at about 60% its max potential/power. And let me tell you this, it is a night and day difference. And the best part is that when i have it in eco mode it goes back to stock

Trust me it’s more fun driving it when it tuned. People don’t expect it but thank you :)

Does tuning hurt the car?

The Expert Gamer I live in Austin TX, what awe awd used for?

2021 acura tlx 2.0t is lol

The accord isnt awd because they want you to buy the tlx if you want awd since that way they can squeeze more money out of u and their wouldnt be an incentive to get the tlx if the accord was awd

The 21 TLX 2.0T will have available SH-AWD. I’ll likely be getting that to replace my 19 TLX V6.....then I’ll dabble with some of the mods enjoyed by Accord X 2.0T enthusiasts.

People have pulled out crv and pilot drivetrains and modified civics and accords to make them AWD, why not just do that 🤷‍♂️

Yes I do. I have a K&N intake. It was $300 so worth it. I love it. I have a video on KZhead. Just type K&N intake 2018 Honda Accord and you will see it. You will find it easily.

I have one and the seats are terrible. If you look at one I hear the EXL or Touring seats are much better.

​@@KT_One I have to agree with you, accord seating is not horrible but on a long trip will definitely tire you down with backache. Had one and I can attest to it. My 2020 Nissan Altima with the zero gravity seats are super comfortable, even on a long trip you can tell the different. I wish Honda would put that seats on the Accord.

@@tousshong9438 we sold ours with only 4k miles on it. Couldn’t endure the seats any longer.

@@KT_One yeah, love the power and fuel efficient but same here. I had it a week got rid of it with a bit profit then what I paid for. No regret.

IamRyu I was getting 32 on current drive on eco mode and I was going 65-70 mph. If I drop my speed to 55-60 I am pretty sure I can be around 35 mpg. Mine is the 2.0t by the way

I have the ktuner V2 and i have the setting to where on eco, it stays stock, and on sport it turns into a beast

Fabio Souza Jr not sure but everything running fine. I am not heavily modified. If put more things on my car then definitely I will do a bigger intercooler. I know having a better intercooler won’t hurt but I’d rather spend my money on a down pipe

Legend17 ‘

Mark Kaai yea?

Intercooling prevents overheating vs downpipe gives more exhaust performance, which may lead to higher power, but more heat. Up to you on which is more important.

Same here haha. Like few years ago who would’ve thought his will be possible.

(Detuned type r engine) car was already fast but to make it more reliable they detuned it.

They detuned by giving it smaller turbo. Possibly, they also gave less racing grade internals. Just watch out for higher than normal wear and tear.

Download more boost! lol

does that mean mods to the engine like a K-TUNER would void any factory/dealer warranty? bc i have an accord coupe 2017 and thinking about running a k-tuner under a power train warranty from the dealer.

@@jimmyle6305 Here's the thing. Technically if you are using a ktuner and it could be traced back to a failure or malfunction of the car, yes your warranty can be null and void. some dealerships, especially where there is a high propensity for modded cars, will check for alterations. Most won't. Typically this doesn't happen because most used cars that come back in from leases are quickly moved off the lot to sell to other dealers or potential owners

No nothing. Been great no issues. I sold her two months and I have a Tesla now. The seller contacts me asking me questions lol. He loves it. I mean I invested a lot of money. High quality brakes and rotors and a ton of accessories. With this tune you need new tires cuz it does make them front tires spin lol.

@@Iegend17 how much did u sell it for? looking to cop a 2.0T for myself haha

@@danny-ee8ye $20k sold at 52k. Don’t buy used. I saw a used one for the same price as a new one with 40k on and it was a year older than a new one. :)

@@Iegend17 52k is insane

@@adamcartes9569 52k miles

Arman M not a lot tbh. 0.3-0.5 I have seen videos on KZhead and Honda Accord group on fb. It’s the mid range the changed a lot

@@Iegend17 Thanks!

They added a new feature called vsa or something like that. To summarize it, it means it will improve 0-60 times

Baby Joker trueee

R 88 with type R turbo upgrade and e85 timing it hits high 12’s.

Get the honda. The audi is about the same speed without the launch control as the accord And honda is more reliable. But test drive both and if your buying the audi make sure it has low miles 20k or lower.

BBB T it does feel really nice and torquey but not sure if it’s really 360 torque

The Hybird come with the CVT transmission run away

@日産スカイライン hondata stage 2 adds more than 100 lb-ft of torque. It's easily believable how much torque these little turbos can make for a second or 2. It's the drop off that's horrible.

@日産スカイライン but it does lol and you can feel it

@日産スカイライン it's actually more like 80-85. It literally says 85 in the link you sent. I was getting stage 2 mixed with the flex fuel tune which adds over 100+ lb-ft of torque.

because in theory can’t you drop a file with all the stock factory mods and tune the car up before you take it in everytime ? pain in the ass but is it doable ?

I have a friend that has 1.5t heavily modified and something happend to his transmission and his exhaust was leaking and they fixed everything under warranty. I saw a video of someone had an issue and they said they can’t fix his car. So maybe depends on the dealership. I took my car to get an oil change yesterday and they didn’t say anything. I told them I have brake issues and they didn’t scan the car. So let’s say something happend to ur axles or suspension and they come and tell you hey man we can’t fix it cuz you have ktuner then they can’t do that. Cuz it has nothing to do with it. You know what I mean. Same with an air intake. If you have an aftermarket one then they come and say your transmission broke cuz of it, they can’t do that cuz that’s not what caused it. But they can be assholes about that. They have to prove this specific part broke something on your car and if they can’t then you are good to go :)

Legend17 awesome, thanks a lot man appreciate it, ima do it pretty soon and see how it all goes, if i remember i’ll comment back on here 🤣

Beto hernandez haha of course mann if you need anything please comment. I like helping people out. Feel free to comment anywhere

Legend17 Thanks., I did and absolutely love it.

H2Batavia glad you do :)

I don’t own a 2.0 Accord but all OTS (Off the Shelf) tunes are the same, I could answer most of your questions. 1. You’re having trouble putting power down because your car is FWD and they struggle with traction, getting wider and performance tires help with traction. I personally recommend Michelin Pilot Sport 4S. 2. Surprisingly tunes actually help fuel economy unless driving aggressive, a lot of tunes help with MPG. 3. The dealership won’t go lurking around to see if you’re tuned unless they have a reason to do so, like if you’re having transmission problems they’ll make it a problem, they can tell it’s been tuned by checking the ECU. Also, they won’t bother checking if you’re just going for regular maintenance like oil changes. 4. It could enhance the sound, just a tad bit. You might hear some back fire and a slightly deeper note. But besides that it won’t be anything drastic unless you get an exhaust or downpipes

@@LeJunny If I put back to factory tune, would they still be able to tell? I'm not the guy you answered to but he had the same questions as me so thank you for your answers!

Nice thumbnail pic 🐺

Dealers, plug in their diagnostic tools ,and that let's u know if the computer has be altered by by warranty

For sure lol

Cuong Nguyen some people said that Honda still covers the car. I haven’t had any issues and I can’t speak. Honda makes their cars to be tuned and abused. That’s why people buy Honda’s. Honda knows people will be doing things like that. I know it’s a Honda but people like pushing the limits. Their engines are amazing and they are always under rated. Especially this 2.0t people get shocked by the power it has (before the tune) hahah

Legend17 Cuong Nguyen had a very sound response. Anyone who thinks they can take their Accord from a very decent performing sedan to a high end performance level sedan with some bullshit they purchased on eBay is fooling themselves. Your car was designed to handle the 250-260 HP it produces. Yes, it shares the same stock engine as a Type-R, but it doesn’t have the performance parts attached to the engine that the Type-R has. In the long run you are going to damage your engine, and there is no way Honda will honor your warranty if they can detect you modified the factory settings. Your warranty is for the car/configuration you purchased, not your modified Accord. Do you really think Honda is going to say “okay, you have a huge engine knock and timing issues due to this modification you did to get 20more HP, but we got your back, we cover idiotic mods on our warranty” You seem to b having fun which is awesome, but those dealers will do anything to void your warranty.....plus you don’t want to fuck up a perfectly nice car for a little more acceleration.

Jerry K Hoff I agree with you and you have a good point but those engines can handle a lot. Trust me I know a lot of people have very modified engines and nothing happened to them. I do have lifetime warranty and literally a tech at the dealer told me if you decide to put a tune in the future for us to be able to fix anything you have to remove it cuz in the report we send Honda it will show and Honda will reject it. I literally took my car there cuz of a misfire and he scanned it for free and told me it’s a spark plug. I changed the spark plug and car runs amazing!! Was done changing the spark in 15 mins. Can that misfire be caused by the tune? Yes it might.

@Cuong Nguyen Ha ha, no shit! I went in for my first service on my 2019 2.0T accord and they were trying to charge me money on basic service that I had purchased as part of my deal with my car! The guy asked, "where did you purchase this vehicle?"....my car literally has the plate brackets of the dealership and he was staring at them when he asked me the question. I realize we aren't dealing with NASA scientists when we go in these car dealerships, but get your game together. When we went to the register and straightened things out, he said, "good news, no charge you purchased the lifetime service package". I just said "woo hoo!" and walked away. I think the service package was a rookie mistake on my part, but I dont have to worry about finding a garage for quality oil changes on a performance engine. Some funny shit happened as I picked up my car, some Honda oil change mobster came up to me and told me not to come back in before my warning level was at 10%..... my car was almost a year old and at about 20% service warning...I just told him, "see ya next week, I have unlimited oil changes and I want to see you work".

@@Iegend17 Not sure about the misfire, but as long as you are having fun and willing to pay the price, keep rocking!

They have the v2 out now

This would be sick on the manual

Dwight Prewitt where do u live. Does it snow there? Cuz honestly I struggle in the snow. If the Lexus IS AWD then definitely Lexus. AWD is a king. But how is the maintenance on the Lexus. I choose reliability instead of AWD and luxury. But Lexus is good since it’s a Toyota. I love my accord and I am keeping her. People always look. It’s crazy cuz it’s just a Honda hahah. You can do so much to Honda and there are soooo many modes and customization and pretty cheap :)

Go Lexus you won't regret it. Holds value better and is proven reliable.

@@Iegend17 don't you use winter tires in the snow? I am wondering if this car will still struggle in snow even if you use winter tires

@@Jykobe491 no sir it just meant that he didn't respond back. I personally been running ktuner since my car had 15000 miles on it. Didn't care about the warranty, I just wanted the engine to have a good break in period. Car runs perfect. No issues whatsoever

@@Jykobe491 forgot to mention. My car now sits at 40 thousand some miles but it help tremendously. Car shifts better and does perform great

Pretty dumb statement but alright 😂it's the most bang for buck but downpipes and said tune will help your top end and mid range alot in any turbo car, significant difference

Wedow big facts... most of these small turbo 2L run out of breath around 5500. While they don’t usually have a HUGE effect on the peak numbers. A good intake with Down pipes and a test pipe usually help it carry QUITE a bit more power to redline instead of falling on its face at 5k.

@@TurboNFRStwoK exactly lol

Wedow Depends what you want but 50 additional hp with a tune is a big gain. Cold air intake is not going to give you that kind of power and if you buy quality instead of some Ebay garbage it gets expensive. If you want more power take it to a tuner and go E85. I like the small turbo’s zero lag. The Type R turbo has some low end lag from what I have seen.

Phantom096 I had a FBO and tuned 2013 genesis coupe 2.0t stock it put down 220whp and 260wtq on XXX motor sports dynojet in Pensacola FL all pulls done on the same dyno on the same day. Stock with an SFR stage 1 tune it made almost 260whp. Thing made mad torque 340wtq at 3500 and held it to right at 5k where it rolled over hard, by 5500 it was still pulling but was down to around 250wtq and by 6500 was below 200wtq. Putting an intake, test pipe, and full exhaust on it only got me an extra 30whp and actually dropped my peak torque to 320wtq but it didn’t nosedive like it did with the stock intake and exhaust. I was still making almost 290wtq @ 5500 and by 6500 was still making almost 240wtq. I paid $300 for the tune and got 40hp and 80wtq then paid 1500 for the intake test pipe and exhaust and only got 30whp and lost 20wtq but overall the car was WAY faster with the intake and exhaust than it was with just the tune. Bang for the buck you can’t beat the tune, I’m not arguing that at all. But what I am saying is that other Bolt ons have their merits as well especially after it’s tuned.

If you want to do a tune I would recommend upgrading some engine parts.

Nick Nana yes you can haha. I didn’t know that too. And I was shocked tbh. So Honda locks the turbo and makes it only make it produce a certain psi. But changing the computer in the car it unlocks the turbo to let it produce/make more psi so that equals to more power. Of course having parts like an exhaust and air intake help the car. But I know it’s crazy hahah

Oem needs to consider the emission, fuel economy, and durability. This is why the stock ecu calibration is consertive in terms of performance.

Yes. The automatic box is still capable of handling 50% more torque.

Yes I have over 40 drag runs over a 2years Period and my Transmission is smooth as butter

Just Awesome :: glad it is. What do u have on your car ?

Sam Sabin wow nice. Didn’t know 1.5t with ktuner will be as fast as a stock 2.0t. But that’s amazing.

Sam Sabin oh wow that’s amazinggg. My stock 2.0t is 5.7 from factory. But people got 5.5. Idk if my 0-60 changed tbh cuz there is so much wheel spin.

@@Iegend17 facts if i were you i wouldve went for the ktuner V2 i heard there's gonna be a tune released for the 2.0 that helps a million with the wheelspin when launching

Sam Sabin it’s actually on the 1.2. It’s just an update. It’s called something VSA. I did have that option but I didn’t mess with it cuz I didn’t know. Didn’t want to do anything that I didn’t have experience in. I did ask a lot of people and they told me that it will fix the wheel spin.

No you have to find a tune for your altima. It changes the configuration of the car, each cars configurations are different so even if you could tune your altima with their tuner, your car would be fucked up, not in a good way.

no cap

@Zay powertrain has a 5yr 60k mile Warranty so that long haha

That’s what I said too. But I have lifetime warranty 😂 people say it’s safe. My friend has a heavily modified accord like mine and his transmission broke and Honda fixed it under warranty.

​@@TheAngryDuckmanso the car isn't going to blow up?

thats aftermarket. Look up JDM Honda badges

I added them :)

Cameron Maurer no bro i didn’t. You really don’t have to. If you do the car will breathe better. All I have on the car is an air intake and this ktuner and definitely having those two modes made the car breathe and respond much better. Few people told me having an intercooler is so the car doesn’t run hot but I never had issues and you won’t have issues. Having an intercooler will give you more torque and more air in the engine so it much better. Doing an a down pipe helps a lot as well from what i herd.

I’m try to the same thing as you bro shit sounds 🔥🔥🔥

Tuning will void your powertrain warranty. Of course, this tune will make your car to its fullest potential, and I'm sure it will make a little more wear & tear since you will be flooring the car more.

A lot I know did it and Honda was still covering it. Like my friend has a 1.5t his transmission broke or the car over heated or something. And he has a very heavy modified car and Honda fixed it for free and under warranty and I know another guy same thing with another issue.
