If anyone out there is willing to donate their 6mt (preferably modified) for about a week or so, please PM me. They've already reflashed mine and they need one more to make sure the programming is consistent.



Hondata is located in Torrance, CA.

 

This would be awsome. i wish I was in CA. DAMN IT why do i live in New jersey.

 

Ok, could someone clue me in on this? What is Hondata plan to do with our 6MT? They reflashed your ECU for what? Is this regarding to S/C??? better performance etc.,

please clue me in, thank you

 

Is hondata going to be doing anything for the 2nd gen TL-S...........I've always heard good things about hondata,really would like to upgrade my ecu.

 

They are working on developing an ECU reflash for the non-superchrged TL. It's for better performance...hence, horsepower.

However, just because they are trying to develop an ECU reflash, doesn't mean that they will release the product. If it makes sense (and power), they'll release it.

 

Not that I know of.

 

So... how is the 'reflash' working for you?

 

What about 5AT??

 

I got it back yesterday and I couldn't be happier. I don't think much would happen w/ a stocker, but with performance mods, it makes a difference.

 

The reason they want a 6mt is because they are easier to work with. No upshifts during dyno and so on.

 

I see thank you. I'll have a S/C in my car soon. I was just wondering if it's regarding to the S/C addition or not.

thanks for the info GoBig

 

Yes, get the supercharger. I drove one (5AT) and all I can say is that thing is a screamer!!!!

 

So basically its a reflash, not a piggyback. You will have to send yours in and they will reflash it and send it back.

 

I don't know what future plans (if any) Hondata has for this. If I had to guess, it could be a piggyback or reflash...assuming it went to market.

Mine was a reflash because the R&D on the vehicle was via direct programming.

 

Couldn't they just put it in SS mode??

 

Not sure...i don't own a 5AT. All I know is they wanted another 6MT...maybe to compare the results to mine.

 

We are doing some basic R&D at the moment and a looking for a few vehicles to test with as there is a natural variation from vehicle to vehicle.

We do not do piggyback systems.

We will be testing the naturally aspirated MT vehicles first, simply because they are easier to dyno.

If - and I stress if we are able to make power from a reflash for a MT vehicle then an auto reflash is a possibility. It is not guaranteed that we will release anything, so DO NOT phone asking for when a TL reflash will be available.

I would like two MT vehicles. One stock and one with intake / exhaust preferrably in the SoCal area. The time needed would be only a few hours - the time to dyno in stock trim and then with a reflashed ECU.

It appears that only this generation TL (the most recent) has a programmable ECU.

So just to deliberately repeat myself: It is not guaranteed that we will release anything, so DO NOT phone asking for when a TL reflash will be available.

 

so if we come down and let you work on our cars , do we get to keep the product ?? I have a 6spd with Injen Intake , but no exhaust ???

 

Well if and when you need a 5AT shoot me a pm. I have a CAI and will have exhaust by the time you will need me.

 

I just got off the phone with Matt at Hondata and he said that to his knowledge they are not doing any work on any TL's at this time. I have a 6MT w/ Injen intake and custom Apexi WSII exhaust. It's kind of odd they would state this if this was in motion.

 

damn that sucks i was getting excited for a moment there.... =(

 

This is probably why hondata stated:

 

hahahahah that was classic

Matt: DONT CALL
Dude: I called Matt and yada ya . . .. .

 

Some of you guys are very childish and instead of adding postive to these forums, all you can do is bash others and be negative, thinking you're funny. GROW UP!!!

 

Sorry not trying to bash you. I was just reading the thread and they specifically stated not to call them regarding TL reflashes. Not being childish, just observant.....don't get angry

 

Hey some of us can read and some cant....

it takes all types

Lighten up

 

i thought the same thing , why did he call if it just said NOT TO CALL , but i didn't want to get anyone's panties in a bunch , so i figured i wouldn't say anything..If they are still looking for 6spd's let me know i'll go down there , it's only a 30 min drive from here.. integster@yahoo.com

 

No pun intended towards you...this was more in regards to the other guy "xtin."

 

theres a guy "xtin"?

rock on!

 

A vote for the AT. Hopefully they can get something from the 6MT to get this far. Keeping fingers crossed.

 

If I understand correctly, the development for the 6MT would also apply to the At because apparently the ECU mapping is the same.

 

That's too funny!

 

 

Seems like there are a lot of FUNNY guys on the East Coast...well you all know how we get down, here on the WestCoast.

 

I thought it was pretty funny.

 

Me too.......

 

That would be kool if they did come out with a reflash. Hondata is "god" for the k-series motors...I wonder what they can do for the tl's ecu. Also, I though hondata only did 4 bangers, kool that they are branching out.

 

I can go to hondata whenever they need it! I have an aem intake, comptech exhaust, unorthodox underdrive crank pulley, outlaw throttle body and intake manifold spacers, and sun automotive's ground and voltage system. Also the comptech short shifter. Email me. jrkia82@yahoo.com

 

great, now even the TL gets reflash but no love for K24 accords.

 

Im not sure whats funnier....him calling when Matt SPECIFICALLY asked people NOT to call and coming back here to brag about it OR the fact that he keeps calling me a guy.

But, yeah..usually people dont find it very funny when they get called out

Too bad
