does anyone know of a place on long island that does ecu flashing....i will send it out if i have to, but I rather not. I am hoping it will solve my launching problems by actually letting me redline. I would appericate any info you guys have including if its safe or not? and is it worth it? also are those vtec controllers good for anything??? thanks

 

What launching problems?

 

its bogs down from the line, plus it only redlines at 6200 rpm...need to get it closer to red line i think thats one of many problems on the track.. i also have a thread with my launching problems hopefully this will solve it...

 

do the vtec controllers do anything on a stock car????

 

Can lower vtec engagement point as well as A/F mix. Could help you in both cases....

 

cool thanks would it do just about the same thing as an ecu flash???

 

yes. Is there an ECU reflash available for the TL already??

 

I don't think you can have the ECU flashed. If you find someone that can *prove* they can do it, let me know. So far the people at Hondata and some factory notes have said the chip can NOT be flashed. AT one time a member got "JET Performance Products" to "modify" his ECU. However, when I asked for a dyno of the before/after performance sheet I was told "existed somewhere", I never got it -- ever! The other details were even sketchier...


2. I assume you're talking about the CL and not the CLS and the different redlines. (yes/no?)

 

no 04 tl i can be reprogamable i know that just maybe hondata is my only shot.

 

If you have a '04 TL, doesn't it redline at 6800????

 

yeah its suppose to but it shifts at 6200-6300 rpm. thats why i cant really get a good time at the track.

 

Can you Gate*Shift with the New TL's?

 

tried it dosent have the same effect as just flooring it...

 

handata, does any one have a number for this company...

 

excuse my ignorance but I hear this word everywhere.....what does "bog" mean?

 

its kinda hard to explain, but its like the motor like almost shuts it self off from the line when you try certain things like power brake.it basically dosent go any where their is a delay ... iam pretty sure thats what it is.

 

Not from the pics i remember there is no

1>2>3>4





it's just Park, Drive, Reverse etc.,

 

what abt e-manage?

 

whats an e manage

 

calling scalbert^^^

 

ant you dont know what it e manage is... oh k n called me and they sending it out thursday or friday so by next weekend it should be here..not as bad as i thought....

 

I know what is is...I'm just not gonna tell u but besides...you don't want it or need it right now. I'm just waiting for the sponered scalbert to jump in

 

ok so you are leaving me hanging... iam calling handata tommorow..see what they say, i would love to be there little piggy.

 

vin,
put it in SS mode. then shift the gears all you want. as for flashing, i doubt it. plus it would be better to just buy a new ecu tuned.

 

OK vin...e-manage is like a piggy back computer that u would need to wire into ur factory ecu and then adjust it. You plug it into ur home computer and make all the adjustments and then check it in ur car. This would involve cutting into ur factory wires which I know u don't want to do. Plus I don't think u can advance timing w/ it which is where most of ur power is being lost so forget that.


As for hondata...I asked Ryan that I work w/...he said hondata is located in California...you can take your car to somewhere here in LI but all they would do is ship ur ECU to cali and have them do it there. that's their way of securing that no one staels their programs and copy's it. So ur better off waiting for the uni-chip w/ a plug and play harness which means it just plugs in. Start a thread on the TL site and ask members who live in Oregon to take a trip there and see whats going on and what they can do. They would most likely be willing to do this and then u can start a group buy on the TL site. Unless u want to ship out ur ecu and keys and immobilizer unit to hondata and be w/o a car for approx 1 week.

Does that answer ur questions vindog...I would have just explained it to u in person tommorow at the gym but ur an annoying fool..

 

thanks ant little bitch....

 

emailed hondata again and iam jus twaiting for a response now how its good.

 

started a thread in the tl forum, they said they had one for the 04 tl auto already. dont now about that? any info

 

I think that Flash for the Tl is a factory thing. I fixes the malfunction indicator coming on after having the engine going above 4500 for and extended period of time. I may be wrong, I had this done on my car

 

I've been in contact with Hondata for a little over a year and they have not been wanting to do anything with the CL-S... so good luck!

 

gonna give it a shot someone told me its out for the 04 tl auto...acur8ly what did u do to your cars ecu again.

 

The dealer changed the param for misfire detection above 4500 rpm
