I need to find a place around the Chicagoland area that I can get a reflash in my TSX.

 

Hondata

 

I need to reflash too.

 

Haha, wow that video is old. It was made by one of the moderators from the "other" website...

Screw the reflash...S/C, here I come!!!

 

^^ still gonna get a flash, just a different one.

 

Good point .

...although, I suppose that could also depend on whether an "alternate" management system ends up getting released in late May ...

 

am i the only one that thinks the Hondata is expensive?

 

^^ its not cheap, but IMHO, worth the cost. Also, if you compare the cost vs. benefit then its a better buy than an intake, header, or exhaust.

 

if you don't have any force induction mod...would it matter if you get kpro instead of hondata and then you still have to get it tuned...

 

u kno, i found a hondata office near by, like only 5 miles away. do u think i can juss get my evu reflash done there instead of another dealer to go through?

 

this video is what i am going to show my wife and say...........

"you always say the car needs a lil' more pep, well there it is!!!!"

SCORE!!!!!

 

hondata is tuned for optimized performance with an aftermarket intake and header. (I think its the Injen intake and Comptech header but not sure). It still works very well with the stock intake and header. A K-pro would be tunable for the specific setup that you have (i.e. Comptech Icebox and DC header, for instance) but I suspect that you would not be able to feel difference. Anotherwords, the tuning advantages of a K-pro vs. the stock hondata reflash in non-turbo and non-supercharger applications won't be that noticeable. I'm not an expert though, so I can easily be proven wrong.

 

As far as I know, there is only one dealer that will do the reflash in person, Epic Motoring. If you go to Epic you can have the reflash done while-you-wait. The other dealerships will ask you to remove the ECU and then ship the ECU and immobilizer to Hondata.

 

stupid question, where can i get one and how much would it cost...also does it add hp because my friend has an '06 6mt audio a4 2.0T and he beat me so i'm trying to shut him up...i have an '07 tsx 5at

 

Give up and go home. Your 5AT will never be quicker than his 6MT unless he doesn't know how to drive.

 

why not both

 

where are these rumors coming from?

 

I am pretty sure hondata optimized the full Comptech i/h/e setup

maybe you'll be able to get kpro and then get the hytech cam kit and get like 240whp...

 

I know for a fact that hondata never incorporated exhaust into their numbers. As Jan said, i think it was the injen and CT headers as well. If you read the article or the caption under the dyno graphs, it mentions the icebox would yeild similar numbers.

Here's hoping for kpro and hytech though huh?!?

 

how come hondata's dyno is always so unrealist
http://www.hondata.com/images/dyno-k...flash-stoc.gif

none of the member are able to get to 210whp with just i/h + honata
or is that 210@crank

 

^^ yup. The label above the chart says "Fly Wheel Torque" and "Fly Wheel Power"

 

Looks like I was wrong. I was rereading Jeff Palmer's review of the reflash on TOV and found this reference (at the beginning of the 5th paragraph):

"Hondata's development TSX is a 6-speed model that is currently configured with a Comptech Icebox Intake and Comptech's 4-2-1 stainless headers."

 

Ok, yea i knew it didn't include the exhaust but wasn't sure if it was injen or icebox....thanks for clearing it up jan

 

Not quite sure where you can get it done around here.

But we have large Chicagoland Acura meet going on here where there will be several TSX owners that you can ask first hand. Here is the link, help Chicago represent.
