Hey guys I have a 2005 RSX type S stock k20z1 with some bolts on. Bolts on are Skunk2 intake manifold, skunk2 header, hks 3” exhaust, and injen short intake. With those mods what reflash shouls I go with for a daily driver til I can get it tuned? Reflash 2 is intake,header,exhaust. Reflash 3 same but with rbc manifold. Thanks for the help, noob here!😅

Bolts on are Skunk2 intake manifold,
That manifold is skunks version ( ripped off ) of the RBC. I'd go with the latter.

Would it be okay to daily drive that til I can get it tuned properly?

Stay away from WOT! Go with three, it better matches your set up. If you have access to a scanner such as a Snap-on fast track it wouldn't hurt to use that to monitor your vitals, Even while driving with a co-pe'aire. :unsure:

I’d like to get an afr monitor installed but I don’t think its worth it yet. I’m contemplating if I should get it tune, if its worth getting it tune with my current setup anyway

Ehh, your not that far along at this point. Start adding cams, thermo gasket, port matching, heat tape, ect. I would wait on a tune. There is so much more to do? :devilish: Just make sure your not lean anywhere. No knocks and all. You could float a shop a few bucks to ride around w a scanner and you to make sure your safe where your at.

Thanks for all the input. I’ll have to research more, I don’t think I’ll be going turbo or supercharger anytime soon maybe after I get my engine rebuild which wont happen soon but who knows😅. Think I’ll spend the money and go to church automotive to get it tuned properly, anything that could squeeze some more life out of a 213k miles engine🤣
