I have heard quite a few good things about the Hondata ECU ROM tuning. They have had quite good success with the new flash memory type units especially with the new K-series motors (RSX, for one). A very reputable source confirmed their gains of nearly 18 WHP by ECU tuning alone! A stock RSX with just intake (this gives nearly 15 WHP) and ECU retuning made a tad over 200 hp at the wheels... which I think is pretty darn increcible.

I have requested more information and pricing for this kit and will keep you folks posted about a possible application for the CL-S. I think the kit comes with an EEPROM burner and software for the OBD-I and OBD-II equipped cars. The OBD-IIb cars, I think, have flash memory devices which can be easily reprogrammed, but is more expensive for a do-it-yourselfer.

What price can a 15whp gain command here... $300 - $400 considering it can be 'tunable' in the future?

 

Oh yeah... their URL: http://www.hondata.com

 

for an rsx it'll set u back $595 plus shipping ur ecu 2 them so that they can map it 4u

As of now, they are working on applications for a turbo rsx, rsx-p, and supposedly looking 4 a CRV owner so they can work on the new k24bloc

Btw, that rsx gets pretty good gains from BPUs especially considering its just a 4cyl

 

I really want to build a K24 block with a RSX Type-R Head and other misc parts. This motor could possibly make 300 at the wheels... candidate for a 9s NA car. The current NA E.T. is 10.3x something and this car makes 268 at the wheels

 

I know u want 2 build a motor but i'd still figured i'd get this in here :

Most members at the rsx board w/an turbo are running 13.3-13.8 shich is pretty good..there is one dude running 12psi but i do not know if he's been 2 the track (doubt it)


But bro, ur right, I hear that engine has very very good potential all though I hear the CRV heads won't work cause they are 2 long or something

check the above link out, supposedly one of the the most advanced engine management upgrade available

 

No... you don't use the CRV heads... only the crank. You want to displace 2400cc the cheapest way, so you need a couple of parts from that motor.

 

so bro the CRV parts that are need will directly swap into the RSX engine like the inter-part swapping b/w the bseries engines?

P.s. is it true that the japanese NSX TYPE R runs a 1/4 mile b/w 12.0-12.4 sec???

 

Doug from Hondata looked at my car while I was @ AEBS getting my car dyno'd. Our ECU can not be flashed since it isn't a EEPROM.

 

I used Hondata before on my turbo integra GSR. Quite ez to use except you have to burn the chip everytime which is a hassel. Hondata comes in different stages. Stage 4b (b= boost) is highest which comes with tuning software. Although I got rid of the Integra and sold the Hondata, i still have a copy of the tuning software that can be passed out and tune every Hondata car out there

 

The JDM NSX-R is very fast, but I think the Japanese don't rally run the entire 1/4-mile - they are metric and measure in meters, so their distance is a tad shorter than the 1/4-mile - hence the 12.0-12.4 E.T. When your terminal velocity is ~ 100 mph, even a car length or two distance is a few tenths.
