I have booked in to TDi North for over a month after hearing of extensive rave reviews on Paul’s mapping skills with the kpro ecu module for Honda’s alike. So with this said, I turned up at 9am, and 4 hours later, a full remap from scratch.
The car managed to make 246.7bhp, which is up 37bhp from standard from when I had it on the rollers back in 2009 at Thorney Motorsports which achieved a measly 209.7bhp at standard.
Paul was happy with the map, detailing with my existing engine bay mods, of how smooth the map is, and true to his words, this was. I took it for a quick spin and my oh my, the acceleration is linear and smooth to the extent you don’t even feel the vtec kick in at 4500rpm, but you certainly hear it :D. He explained that despite not reaching the 250bhp that I wanted, this will probably be the case on an open road as the rollers big fans can’t imitate the way the air flow needs to be with where the AEM CAI (cold air induction) filter is located.
With all this done, all that’s left is the oil mods before taking it on the track to test the car’s limits, RAR!! :D

The top garage shot is a classic. Tough scene to make look good but you nailed it.
