KTUNER - somewhat disappointed

Hey all,

I recently purchased the KTUNER v1.2 to use on my 2010 2.4L Auto. I don’t have any other mods yet so I wasn’t expecting much but I got a good deal on it ($250) so I figured I’d try it out. Long story short, there’s absolutely zero noticeable difference. I’m only kind of upset because I didn’t think it would make a big difference, but it seems like neither of the tunes available change/do anything with fuel, ignition, redline, VTEC point, etc.

Is there anyone here running ktuner on a modded engine? I’m planning on getting a downpipe, mid pipe, and intake soon and I’m wondering if it’s worth just selling the tune if the gains aren’t gonna be noticeable. Either that or I’m going to try and learn how to optimize the VTEC point and cam timing.

I only used the base maps that the tune comes with, I don’t plan on using other files that people are selling or whatever. Will I actually have to tune it myself to make use of my supporting mods? The tune presets don’t do anything or what? Worst case I’ll learn it myself there’s a ton of good tutorials and it seems like MAF tuning as opposed to old school fuel map tuning is much easier and safer so I have no doubt I’ll be able to do it myself.
