Ok guys I wanted to share what I can. And it isn't much so forgive me. This also is an area I'm not too fluent in so bear with me.

I mentioned in another thread that I had heard from the grapevine that we have another tuning option coming. Well, after a lengthy phone call today it's been validated to be true. And it's just around the corner.

Basically, whatever the issue was before has been figured out, deciphered, unlocked, decrypted, whatever. It took someone (really them) 3 years to get it but they did. They being a very reputable company that I can't yet name. Lol

But I can say it uses the stock ecu (no additional ECU), has the same tuning capabilities as say a Hondata S300, and will come with a sub $1000 price tag. I was told it will likely be less then $750.

It is currently in beta version but I was told to expect this within two months. I was also specifically told that when it is released, it's complete. There will be no bugs, issues, no learning curve. 100% perfection (exact words).

Anyways, sorry I can't divulge more. I only know because a good friend is good friends with said companies owner.

Hopefully this is true, it would be ba.

Hope it's true. The current ECU option is just too expensive.

You just made my day! There is hope for the j-series

Please keep us informed OP

iTrader: (1)

Like I said, all Honda v6 engines and apparently it also is something special for the Ks.

I'm not bullshitting here. I waited till I talked to the source until I started this still vague thread. I just thought some of you would like to know. So real deal from a very reputable company.

fuck. me. sideways.

I can't say what it is but I can say its not based on megasquirt.

hmm...I'll believe it when I see it.

iTrader: (10)

i'll believe when i see it as well. The 3G TL has been out for 9 years now... And only made for 4 years... The ecu is a self learn ECU which is why it was so hard to make a tuning solution possible. it overrides its own data to make it run more efficient per driver... The whole promise of no bugs/issues already has me doubting it but if it true and it works, i will def be surprised...

I am with the seeing is believing crowd. Going into beta just means they're trying something. Sounds like a trip down Hondata lane. They found a way to flash changes but it never came to market.

iTrader: (7)

that's what she said. and I did.

Richie v6

Please be something like Accessport or Flashpro.

maharajamd

iTrader: (1)

Guys I'm skeptical too but somehow my measly little self knows some people who know the people in that market and it's going to happen.

And no beta most certainly does not mean "trying something".

But hey I'm just passing along news here. I wish I could drop names but not yet. And it's not Hondata.

InFaMouSLink

iTrader: (10)

Dude, we do appreciate it and hope for it but we just wont get too excited for this as we sometimes just "know" better. Im sure all the "believe it when i see it" people feel just like I do... If it happens, it'll be great (depending on what it actually does)... If it doesn't, oh well.. we already knew better lol.

I hope this works for the Accord, too. There is a lot of market space between the FIC and JnR ecu.

ggesq

iTrader: (1)

Agreed.

justnspace

iTrader: (1)

the thing that bugs me is the secrecy.

maharajamd

iTrader: (1)

^because this particular company believes in being 100% before launch

hell that right there almost gives it away lol

rptls08

iTrader: (1)

interesting... i wont get my hopes up but it would be nice to see something more affordable than the J&R

DeathMetal

iTrader: (2)

Some of the most successful designers of the TL aftermarket segment openly seek customer input on design and features to cater to the market...THEN launch at 100%

...so what are they basing their design off of, for starters?

Inaccurate

I am withholding judgment. Remember how the turbo thread started...

maharajamd

iTrader: (1)

I do believe this particular company has it's own assets to play around with. As opposed to tossing it to the public for those purposes.

What I said above about being ready to go the day it's announced is something that was told to me but also something they clearly state on their website for their current offerings.

No doubt. But hey, if it happens great if not oh well. I just so happen to know someone who is an authorized dealer or whatever and he spilled the beans.

And trust me when I say I argued and argued.

I was a bit drunk last night so if I was overzealous forgive me.

Inaccurate

No problem.

What I meant by the "turbo thread" comment was ..... When the turbo thread started, everyone said "it ain't gonna happen" and everyone one was cynical about a turbo being offered for the TL.

A few pages later, people were like WTH ????

maharajamd

iTrader: (1)

^I know. I remember how that thread went.

I mean new products are released all the time. I just think most, myself included, are skeptical because all this time has passed and we have(had) nothing.

I was also told that this breakthrough also opened up something for the K series that they couldn't before and that supposedly it will "give Kpro a run for their money". Are the new Ks not tunable? Obviously the old Ks are very tunable. Has there been both OBD1 Ks and OBD2 Ks?

Very exciting! Marked for future updates.

losiglow

iTrader: (1)

Sub'd.

bouncer07

Will just be like Flashpro: plug it in your OBD2 > Upload maps > un plug it.

The source came when the JnR ecu was coming out via group buy, I backed out for a reason. Because it's from a reputable company.

J-Pro

Give the KPro a run for it's money eh? sounds pretty fuckin awesome if you ask me. as far as the K goes, they are all OBD2.

SharksBreath

iTrader: (33)

anybody else harboring a small part of them that hopes this is all just a mirage?

bouncer07

Hondata

maharajamd

iTrader: (1)

I was told there will be some hardware required. And that, at least at the start, they will probably implement a core type system. But the HW can really be installed by anyone. I was told it actually "snaps" and doesn't even need soldering.

But you're on the right path.

And yea the K part was kind of an afterthought but he did say it will be better then the current Kpros.

bouncer07

It's wont be Jpro, this will work for Accords as well.

maharajamd

iTrader: (1)

Whaaa?! Why?

Nope.

06tl4life

hopefully this ends up working out. Happy to see a new mod with what sounds like a reasonable price tag.

SharksBreath

iTrader: (33)

bc i'm going to feel like a sucker if i just dropped twice the amount of money on a very similar product.

I wouldn't stress it. We know what we got and we got it when it was all that was out..
