Nothing reputable yet that I know of. Hondata will probably eventually make a reflashed ECU for our cars. Don't believe any of the so-called chips you see on eBay or the like.

Well i don't know about the V6, but with the 4cyl people are seeing 15hp and 15ft/lb i think with the base tune. (I think)

I think they also have the dyno sheet on their site showing improvements.

The flashpro is worth it. Of course you have to get the motor tuned, or have vitviper tune it for you electronically. Either way...

flash pro is worth every cent! pretty much night and day difference when properly tuned. base map you'll still see/feel a difference.

The HONDATA FP is the best tuning hardware/software on the market for the Honda/Acura platforms.

Is the base tune a noticeable increase in power? Cause i mean if i get the hondata, then get the car e-dynoed and tuned... that's easily like $1500+

there is a noticeable difference with base tune. ALOT more than what you would get with bolt ons. if you already do have bolt ons it is definitely worth it. alot of people just run the base tune unless with their bolt ons even on other cars, not just ours. tune if you plan on going a bigger route with your car (eg. cams, forced induct, stroke, etc.) Flash pro works great along with bolt ons with base map.

- What sort of power gains can I expect?

This K47Z7 engined 09 TSX was baselined at the dyno with a test pipe, 06 Civic Si intake manifold and replacement air filter. All gains (35 hp) were made from FlashPro tuning.



We have the HONDATA FP in stock for the TSX as well and on sale.

I didn't get my car etuned cause the basemap is pretty good. I think Bao has the graph somewhere.

If you haven't done any intake manifold stuff or exhaust stuff you're not gunna feel a hugeeee gain... But you'll def notice the difference in how smooth the car pulls and the difference in how your car breathes at high rpm. Bao can prolly back me up on this.
