Hey man! Really glad you got the KTuner, I have the same one. Looks like you did your research on the settings like I did. I researched it religiously and you did a great job explaining everything for newcomers. I run aggressive pullback/advanced VSA / Turbo Responsiveness I / Stage 2 Dual Tune and that is it. A little nervous to use early spool and other Turbo settings. Glad you're pleased with it. You should do more videos on additional tweaks/settings you adjust in KTuner after having it for a while. As usual thank you for the video!
Thank you I appreciate it! I definitely will make some more vids in the future once I get some more seat time and have a better feel and understanding of the different settings.
I’ve been waiting on this!
Sick! been wanting for you to go Ktuner! hopefully your friend can now go Apr and you guys can do some pulls! it should be so lit then! congrats on the ktuner buddy
thanks for this simple installing process bro
You got it!
Just got a 21 Accord 2.0t Touring. Thats why im here lol
Hey Dan thanks for this video, it is super helpful for when my ktuner comes in. Question..for the Quick adjustments, are you still using the same values from this video? I could swear I remember you saying something about changing the advanced VSA strategy?
Now I'm running Phearables Stage3 tune with my ktuner. When I was running ktuner stage 2 ots map I had advanced vsa set to most aggressive. The phearable tune doesn't seem to like it so now I have it set to stock.
That joker pulling hard bro, looks different than you're jb4 pulls
Oh yeah. Here we go! Get that custom tune brotha!
And dont forget the tunerview app which im sure you already checked out 😁
Yep already using it, thanks! That's why I didn't bother with the V2. I have an android phone so it's always on me.
A custom tune is probably on the horizon
Hell yeah man! This pulls really good, but the JB4 was also pulling pretty nice compared to this for what it was but ofc the ktuner is better. Any upcoming races?
I'll probably get another one in with my friends GLI again hopefully sooner than later.
Good video
Thanks for the vid, how have you managed to get your car inspected with the high flow down pipe? I’ve read online that they all throw codes for these cars and that has kept me from buying one. Thank you.

Great content
What would be the first 5 mods to get for the accord 2.0t?
Plus after which mod should you get intercooler and a tune?
I watched couple of your videos and as well with a pen taking notes.
Thanks I’m advance
You should definitely get an intercooler after you've upgraded your turbo. I believe the most straight forward 4 mods is
1. Bigger turbo
2. Intercooler
3. Downpipe
4. Tune
EDIT: Also people will try to hype you up for an air intake. From conventional wisdom, an air intake upgrade does improve performance. This is not the case with the Accord 2.0T. The factory air intake in the Accord is already the best one you can have for performance. All aftermarket options either perform equally or worse.
@@fireemblemaddict128thank you for the wisdom but I ended up going with a Honda Accord 2.4L 😅, they didn’t have any 2.0 in my area 😭
I try to look everywhere not a lot of people have straight forward upgrade like you explained it
Told YA! 👍🏻
Stage 2.2 made my car not able to start for some reason. Messaged ktuner and they had no idea why. Had to use stage 2.1 and it worked. Not sure why 2.2 doesn't allow my car to start. So weird.
My cousin and I both have the 2.0t Accord. Is it possible to reuse the Ktuner from one car to the next or do we have to buy a separate one? And also, when you use the Ktuner, does it store you're car info like the VIN# etc..?
You will need one for each car because the unit locks to your ecu. You would have to revert back to stock and then unmarry it from your ecu to be able to use it on a different vehicle.
How do you like the tune? How long have you been running a tune and have you had any issues with it? Cool video. You definitely went through all the steps for someone like me who has never tuned a car. I have 21 touring and considering it.
My car has been running a tune since 1,500 miles now has almost 28k. No issues. Running phearable stage3 now via ktuner
Is that not your daily driver? 1,500 is not that many miles. I'm just a little nervous about tuning my car that I've only had since march I think it has like 8,100 miles so far.
@@timothytegtmeier7997 lol i said tuned since 1500 miles up until now at 28k
Oh, I misunderstood you awesome!! Thanks for the answers I appreciate it.
Dan, I recall in one of your videos you talked about how the tune was initially shifting to early during wheelspin. I can’t remember what the fix to it was. Can you remind me which setting needed to be adjusted so that the car would not short shift during wheelspin?
I changed my advanced vsa setting to the most aggressive option, and it stopped short shifting
@@DanVilla7 that’s exactly what it was, now I remember, thank you brotha 🙏
@@fyodormikhailovich9654 no problem!
Ok so are there any adjustments youve found that are better now that your more experienced. Or should i follow this video exactly? Im brand new to tuning and dont want to get to involved. Anything new or is this still your current setup?
I run phearable stage3 now. As far as this tune setting advanced vsa to the most aggressive was the only change I made from this video
When you purchased the KTuner 1.2, does it already come with the tunes pre installed?
Yes comes witg stage 1 and 2 with other user adjustments you can mess around with. I have a link in the description for both the v1.2 and the v2
I noticed boost meter hits 1.5 quicker and hangs in there longer then other
Yes because the jb4 doesn't use the oem gauge so it's not accurate on the dash like the ktuner is
Thanks for all the info. My 2.0 is stocked. No mods. Should I do stage 1 or stage 2. Was advised from a shop that stage 2 is very aggressive on a stocked 2.0 and advised me on stage 1. What are your thoughts. Thx
Your welcome! I don't drive aggressively everytime I get in the car so I wouldn't personally worry about it. But there are poeple running bigger turbos. Felix Joel for example and he tracks his car all the time and the drive train has held up just fine so far and he has around 90k miles. You can also run a dual tune like with ktuner amd that will make eco mode either stock or stage 1 depending how you set it up.
@@DanVilla7 I was thinking about the stage 2 target 1. But I spoke to a Performance Shop and he seemed to be hesitant on the stage 2. Stage 1 is 30hp/50torqe split. I'm not impressed with those outputs.
@@stevenlopez2840 peak #'s are not where this car shines because of the small turbo it's how fast it makes power. Low amd mid range is where stage 2 will yield almost 100 ft/lb of tq increase and tapers off up top. Trust me it's a night and day difference.
Hi Dan, if you tune into stage 2.. is it necessary to upgrade to 91 or 93 octane gas? Or can I still fill up with 85?
If you even tune to stage 1 I would only run the highest octane available in your area.
Sage J, I've the same question and I was told that once you tuned it, you needs to use premium fuel of 91 or higher. Newsday, gas cost a lot so I'll skip this process. Is not like I'll got racing....just my daily driver and current power suit me just fine. LOL
Can the ktuner adjust paddle shift control? My car would change gears way before hitting red when using the steering wheel control. I've had cars that would also change gears but only if you go above red.
Unfortunately there are no tuning options for the 10at
i just got the v2 and flashed to stage 2 with eco set to factory tune. I was planning on running e30 but idk if i need to install a fuel kit or mess with the tune for it to work so I want your opinion thanks!
You will need a flex fuel kit
@@DanVilla7 i thought so too and i saw the flex fuel etc in the ktuner menu
What’s up man? I was wondering what do you think about HONDATA ?
It's proven to be a good product. From what I understand they focus more on the civic type r where ktuner shows the Accord some more love. I also liked ktuners hardware and software better.
Just a question, whats the light on your dash mean? On top of your tachometer.. thanks
Traction control off
I just flashec my honda followed your steps on the video now im out for the drive and the lights haven't went off yet I've drove 8 miles already
It should go off. If you turn the car off and drive again and it doesn't go off. Try reflashing again.
@@DanVilla7 it turned off once I turned the car off and it's running too good 👍🏾.. im going to run this tune for a while before I try the pherrable 3. Thanks
Now it’s Civic Type R Turbo swap time lol. It never ends.
That it doesn't...
Then a new transmission :) haha
@@LulzChicken lol..the Type-R turbo is probably better for the transmission as it doesn't make all that down low tq like the oem turbo which causes most of the stress.
I just stage 2 tuned my honda accord 2.0t sport 2020. I drove around for almost an hour and none of the lights turned off. Any recommendations??
Disconnect you battery for a couple of minutes and drive again. If that doesn't work reflash the tune
Hey boss what code do I turn off for catless down pipe in k tuner setting ?
I have a catted dp and only needed to turn off p0139
With that version kTuner do you HAVE to have an android or anything for it to work? I don’t care about seeing a display.
You have 3 options. Buying the v2 with the screen, using an android phone or tablet with tuner view app, and last but not least you can use a laptop
How did you get the carbon fiber for the interior??
That is the stock trim, it's not carbon fiber but looks a little like it.
I have a 2022 accord 2.0t and want to upgrade it a lil you think it'll be reliable long term with hondata stage 2 or k tuner pre set tunes. Only upgrades right now are intercooler and piping and hasport motor mounts. Not going to beat on it all the time as it's my daily but I want it a bit faster
Mines my daily no issues, full bolt ons phearable stsge 3 tune
@Dan Villa what about long term? How many miles do you have on yours?
@@josephtolick8655 about to hit 40k tuned since 1200 miles
I have an iPhone do you just use an android phone for the ktuner and just Bluetooth it to the unit?
Yes, the tunerview app isn't available for iPhones unfortunately
Dan, where did you buy this?
2 step performance. Com
So since you chose the highest tune, did you have to have anything done to your car or can you do this on stock
Not necessarily lots of people running stage 2 without bolt ons. I would recommend a downpipe for a couple of reasons. You will gain more power from the tune and when making more boost it's always a good idea to reduce the restriction of flow on your turbo.
@@DanVilla7 awesome bro, thanks for replying because I’m about to get a 2.0 myself
@@maekyn no problem! It's a fun car especially when you tune it
@@maekyn get a Audi S6 🤪
@@TheStarwars2011 lol why
do you suggest switching for me too? from my jb4
It all depends what your looking for. Main reason I switched was to have the ability to turn my cel off. Funny part is it cleared itself and hasn't come back since.
There is a lot more adjustability and features on the ktuner which is a plus. But if your nervous about flashing the jb4 is obviously thr best bet
what does boost target ramp rate could you explain
Here's a link directly from Ktuner
www.ktuner.com/KTunerHelp/boost_target_ramp_rate.htm
Do you know if you have to jailbreak the 2021 accord to tune it
I couldn't tell you for sure, but I wouldn't think you had to.
@@DanVilla7 thanks man! Just got the car hoping to get it done soon. Has a 18 si full bolt on and tuned. Missing the extra boost
Had*
Hey Did you ever mess with the vtech engagement on your K tuner
I haven't tried it
@@DanVilla7 what about the ramp. Do you still have it on aggressive 2
@@jeremyyounkers7378 yep kept that setting
@@DanVilla7 have u ran it at the track for 1/4 mile yet. Curious what it's capable of
@@jeremyyounkers7378 I haven't but I did get some #'s using a dragy. Here's a video of that
th-cam.com/video/39M-iM-Ptp0/w-d-xo.html
I jus bought a 2021 accord 2.0 sports and wanted to know does tuning the engine will decrease its mpg? What are you averaging so far? And does it effect the engine’s or transmission lifespan?
Will decrease mpg if your in boost stepping on it. If you drive normal may get better mpgs. I only have it installed a couple days so far I'm not seeing a decrease in mpg from what I was running before.
As far as engine and transmission wear, sure there will be more wear as your asking more of it. But even stock if you beat it up all day it won't last as long as driving it nicely.
@@DanVilla7 what is the average you get from your 2.0, I only have 400 miles on the car rn so dont want to floor it rn but even if i go 50 to 60 percent, it goes down to 11 to 13 gallons average
Its not like i care because the whole reason why i got a 2.0 was because of the power but still want to know if its normal
It's still breaking in will alway get worse gas mileage than a car thats broken in. If i have a little fun on the way to work which is about a 18 mile drive I will get minimally 22-25 mpg if I take it easy, usually will see around 32mpg
Keep in mind once you Ktuned your car, it required premium fuel 91 or higher so you're spending more money at the pump.
Is there a reason to go with KTuner over hondata or vice versa?
From my understanding ktuner has put more into the Accord while hondata leans towards the Type-R. I also didn't like hondatas dated looking hardware.
@@DanVilla7 Thanks for the swift reply and great content!
Does it need 93 octane or regular is fine?
When tuning any vehicle never use low octane fuel, unless the tune is specifically for fuel economy
What gas grade you using?
93 octane
That car can go all tha way down to 160 mph ?
I'm not sure it's enough power to go that fast but I'm sure it will get close if anything. The speed limiter can be removed with this tune.
Does the k tuner need to remain plugged in to work?
It doesn't, only if you want to read all the live gauges it offers
@@DanVilla7 nice✊🏽 I'm doing this ! My car won't be in until October now😔
@@jamesrobinson4950 dam that's a long time. But when you order if you can please use my link in the description it help support the channel
@@DanVilla7 yep no problem, covid is messing everything up. Had to have the black on black 🤷🏾♂️ getting magnaflow exhaust then gonna tune it up. What exhaust do you have?
I have a catted downpipe and front pipe stock the rest of the way back. I tried dc sports exhaust but was too loud for me. I have videos on how it sounds on my channel if you want to check it out.
Looks interesting but im trying to take care of my car so i don't have enough interest to pull this off
Is this how tuning works?
Somewhat, these are pre-installed maps. The actual tuning is way more complex. Any one can load maps like these but the actually tuners actually create the tune file
I think if you’ll change the turbo responsiveness to 4 instead of 2 you’ll be happier.
I may give it a try as it's all new to me. I've been driving with it for a couple days now since I made this video, in sport mode it hits full boost pretty fast setting it to 4 would almost be over kill for normal driving?
@@DanVilla7 possibly but I went with Stage 2 Dual Target 1 which allows factory setting in Eco mode, stage 1 in normal mode, and stage 2 in sport mode. That’s the setting most people I’ve seen use. I see you went with Stage 2 Dual Target 2 which puts it in stage 1 in eco mode. Not sure what it does to normal and sport in that calibration.
From the little ive tested so far, normal and sport thave about a 2lb of boost difference with the stage 2 dual target 2
Hey Dan , you selling your jb4 ?
I have already sold it.
How much HP does it add?
Off of ktuners website:
Stage 2 Boost targets in Normal/Sport
Up to 88 lb-ft of torque increase over factoryUp to 60whp increase over factory27whp peak-to-peak
Producing a much more sporty feel, drivability, and additional power throughout the RPM range!
what happens if you run both jb4 and ktuner together 😂?
There wouldn't be any benefit really, but you can use the JB4 as a meth controller
