Does anyone know or does anyone feel like contacting hondata to see if they will do something for our cars...

 

what do they do and what do you want them to do for our cars? I would guess if you can round up 100-150 deposits on a certain mod, they might hear ya out!

 

no I know what they do.. but if we could get some kind of modification to our ecu's oh damn...

 

Hondata is a stand alone unit. You could use it on our car but you would have to do all the tuning yourself or have someone do it for you. It's not a mod really. It's really pointless if you aren't running a FULLY built motor weather FI or NA

 

actually, it's a piggy back not a stand alone. Sorry

 

that's true... but all the tuning that you have done can be saved so think about it... You could have a setup saved for all types of weather or if you we're racing.. or just crusin on a nice summer day...

 

and actually ecu tweaks could definetly help our cars doesn't matter if your stock to being turbocharged...

 

yea, but you wouldn't see much gains from doing this if the car was stock or had basic bolt ons like intake and headers. If you had different cams or a worked head or were FI your results would be really good.

 

yeah but I want you to know that I drive a 3.0 CL.. if I get a 1 hp increase I'm happy... and I'm sure everyone else on this site with a 3.0 would be 2...

 

AEM <--- they make more than just intakes and brakes

 

I drive a 3.0. I wouldn't be happy to spend 500$ on the hondata unit alone, and then tuning (assuming you can't do it yourself which 99.9% of you here can't) is going to run you another 300$ or so. So for 800$ I would not be happy getting 2-3 HP throughout the range and you'd be stupid to be.

 

but I could be very wrong. No one has every tried it so we don't really know what we could get out of it.

 

well all I know is that my friend that has a 95 prelude installed hondata and had the local import shop tune his system and all he had done was intake and exhaust.. his car idels like v8 now and believe me from what I saw he has close to a 15 to 20 hp increase... he's not running FI either... plus tokyo image and I are really good friends I helped design their webpage so I'm sure they would fine tune the system for me for cheap... well I'll see what I kind of info I can get and I'll get back with everyone here about it..

 

i'll just spend 300 and get the Apex VAFC. You'll notice a different then.

 

I have a question about the V-afc, what is the lowest rpm you can have your VTech kick in and what rpm does it normally kick in at...

 

3100 rpm is the lowest vtec can be set with a vafc

On a stock ecu the engagement varies on load, rpm, and temp (the vafc will tell you when the stock ecu tries to egage vtec).

On the 4 cyl I saw the most benefit at the lowest setting of 3100.
