I'll be unloading the Integra this weekend, so I flashed it back to stock and tried to unlock the KTuner from the ECU. It appears the flash worked, but when I went to unlock it, I got a message saying, "this ECU has no VIN data.
I wasn't expecting that and don't know what to do with it. I checked the KTuner Information and it shows a locked VIN.
Help...please.

Just tuned my base CVT yesterday at about 5.4k miles. It’s definitely wakes up the car. I’ll be documenting it here later on.
A few questions:
A few questions:
- Can I upgrade the CVT belt? Is that a thing yet?
- Is it okay to drive in map 2 (23psi) or map 3 (25.5psi) while in normal mode?
- Is there any engine internals I could upgrade to increase reliability with this tune?

I would try reaching out to Phearable themselves about this https://www.phearable.net/information/contact.htmlI'll be unloading the Integra this weekend, so I flashed it back to stock and tried to unlock the KTuner from the ECU.

Since I dragged my feet on this a little and I'm trading the car in tomorrow morning, I'm just going to leave it in the glove compartment. If the next owner wants to use it, they can.
Thanks for the reply.

Don't mind at all; I'm an open book, BUT I don't know yet. That will get hammered out tomorrow. I just checked Carvana and they offered $23,600, so I'm hoping for at least that. I will take less depending on how we work the rest of the deal.

That'll be a fun surprise for the shop that turns that thing around. What are you trading for?
This seems to be the year of the tune. Ktuner is on the way for me too. Warranties are boring.

I took 23,500 for the Integra and got out the door for a little more than 38,000. One of the first things I did was turn off the rain sensing function on the wipers. That's something I couldn't do on the Integra.
The Integra was a good car. There were many things I liked about it, a few things I didn't, and a few things that drove me crazy, but its biggest fault was that it wasn't a GTI. I guess I'm just a GTI fanboy, despite this only being my 3rd.

(updated with new mods)
Vehicle: 2023 Integra A-Spec w/technology (manual)
Total tuned time: 4 weeks
Tuned miles driven: 2500 miles
Tuning device(s) used: KTuner V2
Tunes used: Phearable map stage 3 (25 psi)
Fuel used: 93 octane
Additional related mods: PRL HVI, Remark catback exhaust, ACT aftermarket clutch
Problems/issues: None
Driving style: quick burst on freeway on ramp or when passing other cars but otherwise spirited but not stupid driving
Tuning experience notes: first time tuning a car myself. A lot of initial anxiety but if you do your homework and how to videos it’s actually super straight forward. Like others said BEST bang for the buck. Makes the car feel like a whole different car! Will update more soon
** from the last post, I've since added an aftermarket clutch, ACT, so that i can run Phearable stage 3 map ALL THE TIME , and also added the PRL high volume intake. so far so good. ACT clutch is good, almost stock like in feel**

Nice. As a Toyota fanboy I feel like I'm only in a Honda until they sell something compelling again. One thing's for sure, VW always had the best factory wheels.

Thanks. Last Tuesday I pulled into the dealer behind a woman in a GR Corolla who was there to trade it for a GTI. The wheels do look nice, but they are most likely going to get swapped for 18's for a little more sidewall - potholes and all - and all season tires. It's my only car, so it needs to be a 4 season one.
