I have a spare 04 ECU w/ immobilizer @ home, if 05 is really out then I can resell that, or it has no more value...??

 

i have a love/hate relationship with the reflash:

LOVE - new torque curve
higher rev limit (in ss mode)
smoother engagement of vtec (now at 5k rpms)
overall just a faster car (as if my displacement has been bumped to 2.5 or 2.6L)

HATE - well w/ gas prices soaring i had gotten in the habbit of keeping my tack below 3k rpms to save on fuel. NOT SO ANYMORE

 

Damn, I am glad to hear it. I can't wait to get mine!!! I know gas issue, but I have two cars and wont be worrying about gas. Thanks for info!!

 

ill worry about the gas issue after i get it and enjoy the LOVES

 

sounds good to me since i'm getting an 05. thanks

 

when does it exacting come out again? i hope soon, because im getting an 04 or 05 subaru wrx sti =)

 

^ still undetermined. but y would you further mod your tsx if you're getting a new car soon?

 

I'm in the 2007 AT sinking ship but still had a question.

does a normal hondata flash [non k-pro] allow superchargers/turbos?

I thought that sort of jump in equipment needed a k-pro..

just asking because i saw some mention that in this thread...

 

the comptech supercharger requires a special reflash. nothing as far as kpro or turbo tuning .... and probably will never happen

 

Arrrgh! The wait is killing me. Gotta get this in before the wife comes to me with the Christmas budget.

 

I hate 2007!!!

 

I would buy it off you I could then keep my stock ECU as a back-up or what not. That is if you were serious about selling

 

^ good idea. i wish i had a backup system in place

 

YES!!! now if someone can just figure out a the turbo

 

We'll see...

 

don't i feel stoopid

 

so when is this ecu supposed to come out? any date? i'm getting an 05 auto i would like to know about this! thank for the imput!

 

HALELUJA !!!!!!!! I was just about to get 04 ecu for $100, but I will wait for K-pro and reflash releases.

 

anybody actually call doug at hondata to find out release dates?

 

Hey I called him a while back and he's annoyed that everybody keep calling in about it. I think everybody should just quit bother him.

 

lol, atleast he knows we r interested

 

see, i don't get that. they say on their website they won't comment on future projects exactly for that reason (ppl bombarding them with calls), yet they told you all that the 05 reflash is coming soon.

but they won't say if there is anything in the future for the 07/08's. is there a 'kick-in-the-balls' smilie i can add here?

 

I am sure it will be out soon. I mean people usually mod cars after they have been driven for some time, not brand new ones. Wait a bit and I guarantee u that at least the manual transmission models will receive the reflash.

 

"soon" has different meanings to different people!!!!

 

 

^ rofl

 

there it is!

haha.

 

Is there a release date for the '05 reflash? Or is it still speculation? If they did it for '05 I can't see a reason why they wouldn't eventually do it for the '07-'08s

 

exactly. there is no release date, but release is confirmed

 

Hondata and K pro will arrive at about the same time. I am thinking about which one I should pick

Time for

 

I really hope they come out with the 05 auto reflash soon. I want more power. I have the type r reflash in my RSX and it is night and day difference with the power. Well worth the price.

 

Any experience with K pro ?

 

No experience with K pro but I did ride in a friends EP with a jdm k20a swap w/ K pro tune and that just blows my type r reflash away.

 

custom tune is def the way to go. only issue is $, finding someone to do a proper tune, and figuring out what direction you wanna go in - n/a, s/c, turbo, or nitrous

i've always been a n/a type of guy but without any real top/bottom end work so the reflash is absolutely perfect for my needs. gimmy all the bolt ons i can get, flash the ecu, and drive off happy and with peace of mind

 

I think thats why I never went k pro. I have all the bolt ons with type r cams and type r intake manifold and with the reflash, I was pretty content with the power. I wouldnt mind going k pro since you can tune to your specific setup unlike the reflash which is just a universal tune. Its just dyno tuning is soooo expensive.

 

Yea.... K PRO has the PRO part in it for a reason. We, little poor slackers who couldnt afford NSX's, have no need for professional tuning which is by the way very expensive. So I think I will stick with the reflash

 

Whoa just found this thread...it's been too long of a wait!! haha guess we have to wait a little bit longer..

 

I bought 04 ECU today. I guess I will keep it as a spare one since I paid only $100 for it. Or should I ?

 

^ that's a really good deal, nice thinking

 

If hondata doesnt pull through with the 05 AT reflash, then im just gonna get an 04 ecu.
