Does anyone know where i can get a Hondata Reflash for my 2004 5speed/AT TSX?

All the info is on the Hondata website... http://www.hondata.com/index.html


Since the reflash has to be done to the ECU at the Hondata shop in California, you can deal with any dealer at all in the world if you send in your ECU to Hondata yourself.

Heeltoe has the best service but Club-RSX is the cheapest...


I've had the Hondata reflash for nearly a year on my 2006. It won't knock your socks off immediately but you really get to appreciate that the torque curve is so flat
from 4k-6500 rpm. You no longer have to keep the revs above 6000 rpm for the engine to stay in the power band.

Now that it's only $295, it's a no brainer mod for any TSX.

Most people do notice the difference immediately, but once we get used to it, it doesn't knock our socks off as much. I don't shoot for redline as much anymore, so even with the reflash, I don't usually hit vtec anymore (I shift around 3k rpms). I only do so on freeway on-ramps.

I noticed it the first time i backed out of my garage. The gas pedal was highly responsive. Of course, if you reach VTEC in SS mode, you'll "notice" that there's no longer this goosed cat leap to the redline, that's what bothered me most and I don't miss that one iota.

I paid full price 6 mos before the price drop (yeah, I'm a dope), I wince a bit at that, but wish I hadn't waited as long to do it. Some will tell you to do a chip change last, after brakes, dampers, and sway bars, but at this price, it's easy, and improves something that impacts nothing else (camber, ride comfort, understeer, etc.) but the way you drive.

Several of us have written extended driving impressions, search this section to find them.
