A little rich around the 5200rpm mark but pretty smooth overall.

 

Give me a K-Pro. I can fix it.

 

Way to go Jtso! I wish I'd been there...

Now all you need is a flywheel and lightweight rims - you'll be hitting 60 MPH in about 6 secs flat!

BTW, the flywheel is still on backorder from Comptech. I think I might just forget about it.

 

Okay, it is obvious we have a thread full of knowledgable TSX performance junkies so hear is my question. Is it true that the reflash is totally stealth? I only have about 5k on my 06 and I do not want the dealer to void out my warranty. I am in the process of installing a CAI but want the added kick. I know the CAI should not affect the warranty but the reflash is another issue. Please help.

Because the reflash simply alters the fuel maps, none of the other functionality is affected. It will throw all the appropriate codes and such so the dealership will not be able to detect the reflash unless they drive it and notice the changes or if you tell them.

 

Awesome. Thanks for the information. I guess the only thing left is to get the reflash. Is it as easy as going to the Hondata website? I am in San Antonio, Texas. I have swapped out remapped ECU's before on my previous rides and needed to have the timing redone etc. Could I do the swap myself? Would it be best to get to take to an experienced technician?

 

It's a pretty easy DIY, if you have experiance doing this type of thing, there is no need for you to take it to a tech.

here is a thread that should tell you just about all you need:

DAMN JOHHNY!!! hahah nice freakin times!

 

damn now you make me want one of these too. great job.. you always have good threads. do they have it for a 05 AT if so do you think its worth buying a ecu from http://www.acuraoemparts.com/delray/...All&vinsrch=no
then getting it reflashed to not have to keep my car garaged..

 

make sure hondata sends back your immobilizer...

 

The dealer can tell the same way you can tell. If they rev it to7600 rpm then they'llknow. In fact, if you rev it beyond 7300rpm then the max rpm reached is stored in the cpu where the dealer, if looking for it, will find it. Also,if they know what they are listening for, they can hear the transition to vtech at 5000 rpm. Anotherwords, if they are looking for it, they'll know. If they aren't looking for it then chances are very good that they'll never know.

 

I have loss my patient for the 05 5AT Hondata reflash but I guess nothing else I can do. I definity don't want to get an extra 04 ECU then reflash it, this will drive the cost up alot. >_<

 

Initially, yes, but you can always sell it when you sell your car and recover your money.

 

Who would like a 05 ECU??? o btw, is there only 1 type of 04 ECU??? Or there's 5AT ECU and 6MT ECU???

 

Actually, if I get a 04 ECU, I need to change my Keyhole on the door side, my trunk key hole, and a pair new key of remote keys as well???

 

No.... you just need a copy of your original key from a hardware store and an Accord keyfob. Then send the parts to moda_way to implant the key inside the keykob (or you can do DIY). The next step is to code the spare ECU, and immobilizer to this new key. After all the components are coded, send them to Hondata for the reflash. This allows you to continue to drive the car while waiting for the reflash. It also allows you to sell the complete package should you decided to sell the car.

 

I've done this for another forum member and it was completely successful.

BTW, thanks for the advertisement JTso.

 

^^^ yeah the key work you do is just amazing.

 

I didn't see anyone answer this question yet...

The Throttle Body (TB) coolant bypass mod is to keep the intake air as cool as possible. Normally, your engine coolant (which is hot) runs through the throttle body in order to keep it from freezing in cold weather. If you live in a place where you don't have to worry about this, then you can mod it so the coolant loop bypasses the throttle. Then the throttle isn't as hot, and the intake air flowing through it stays cooler. Cool air = dense air = more fuel = more power.

I have no idea what the oil catch can mod is...

 

I think it is to keep oil from intake from reaching the TB but you gotta keep an eye on this or else it will fill up and do more bad than good. Jtso has a good thread on how to make your own just do a search.

 

The coolant going through the TB might serve to keep the TB from freezing. However, I think the primary design for the coolant lines is actually for emission control by heating up the intake air. The same coolant line is also attached to the valve cover air inlet connection for the PCV system.

The oil catch can is to reduce the amount of oil reaches to the intake manifold during the normal positive crankcase ventilation (PCV) process. The catch can installs between the PCV valve and the intake manifold.

Here is a description of how PCV works.
