Safe tune to get home (K Frank)
Posted: Wed Jan 21, 2026 9:23 pm
I'm new to this whole process so please go easy on me <3
I'm going to look at a EG Hatch with a K24 block and K20Z3 Head in a few days, and the owner says its on a basemap and "wont drive far". I'm wondering if there's a safe map i could possibly bring with me to at least be able to test the car and get it home before properly doing an Etune.
The car supposedly has K24 Built bottom end with K1 pistons & rods, King bearings, K20Z3 head with mild port, ARP head studs, brand-new timing chain, OEM Honda guides/tensioner, and Type-S oil pump.
It also has 1000cc injectors, Skunk2 intake manifold, AEM 50-1005 external pump, -8AN lines,and a fuel cell.
Im under the impression the Engine work was done recently and isnt even broken in yet.
Any tips, advice or things to look out for would be appreciated, thanks.
