I just got a 2017 Accord 6at along with a Ktuner so that I can improve the shifting speed, transmission timing, and disable VCM. I am not doing this to add more hp, I just want to improve the driving experience and increase longevity as I’ve heard many people do this to their 6at Accords because of the weird stock transmission behavior + problems with VCM. Btw I’ve never tuned or modified a car so sorry if any of these questions are dumb.
I’ve heard the tune that comes with the Ktuner for the 6at fixes these problems, but does it damage the longevity of the vehicle? How much hp would it add? I would love to have more horsepower but this is my daily and I want to make it last.
Would the smoother transmission allow it to last longer than if it was kept stock / be less prone to breaking?
Will I have to use 91+ octane no matter what? Or is there another way?
Edit: Is there a website to get tunes from?
Ktuner Question
Re: Ktuner Question
There's a factory tune option that you can modify if that's all you want to change. We can't recommend anything other than 91+ for tuning. These don't make enough horsepower to break the transmission prematurely. That will depend on how you drive it. See customer feedback on various forums.
