the header is designed specifically for use with the Hytech Cat and

Grand Am 1 Kit: $3011
Grand Am 1 Kit with Cat and Exhaust: $4305"


Difference is I'm not changing valves, and not adding the oil pan baffle.

so if one opted to purchase the grand am stage 1 kit with cat and exhaust, pretty much the whole works for the stage 1 kit, and got the hytech spec reflash, all the "good stuff" would be gone?

No, no. The Hytech "Grand Am Stage 1 kit" is a basic kit. Basically just cams, a header, and a reflash to go with it. (of course because you change cams you need to change the valve springs and retainers too...this is included in the kit).
It's a Hondata re-flash programmed specifically for the added cams and header, everything on the car will work...because it's just a reflash

So to sum up, if you bought the "whole works for the stage 1 kit" ALL THE GOOD STUFF WILL WORK! Traction control, AC, even your driver's seat will work. Simple, and you should walk away with around 260 whp and 210 wtq, give or take.

THANK YOU TodaSi for clearing all that up. the only thing i have left is to say the with the prices i didn't think included the reflash price. Therefore, it would be $4305 plus the $595.....that the way i read it anyway

So since there will be no boost, how do you think all this would affect your engine long term? I know the supercharger could potentially decrease the overall life, but would this kit do the same, and or at the same rate?


EDIT: Also, do we know the year of the car that was used to test with? I'm thinking an 04 6MT but just a guess. Would that mean the 06 would be a little higher?!?

One thing to note, the car in the dyno had an Accord TB 60mm(restricted by Grand Am rules), so with the '06 having a 64mm TB, performance should be a little better

BTW for my '05 I bought an '06 TB and intake manifold

So grand am 1 for $3011 gets me around 260whp and 210 wtq. I already have aftermarket cat and exhaust. So I am reading this all correct and there header works with other exhausts and cats.

I don't see how it should affect engine life at all. It's not like the set-up is gonna twist the hell out of the engine, max rpm is only 7600 rpm I believe, maybe 7800. Remember Shaang's dyno of just a Comptech Ice box, Hytech header/cat/exhaust no cams or anything and he made 211 whp and 191 wtq.

shaang's Hytech dyno

If you take a look at the paragraph right below the dyno pic, it says "We also know that
the header is designed specifically for use with the Hytech Cat and
exhaust, those packages are:
Grand Am 1 Kit: $3011
Grand Am 1 Kit with Cat and Exhaust: $4305"

So i would assume their headers can't be used.....look at the picture of the headers too, they wouldn't fit any CAT but the one they make!


TodaSi - Thanks for the info! I was thinking that since we are only changing a few things, the cams, valves, springs, etc, the car is NA so i assumed it wouldn't kill the life of the engine all that much.

Also, CCC, i think the dyno package included the CAT and exhaust combination so you need to spend like $4500 to get the full 260WHP and 210 WTQ!! That is how i read it......

ok how much would a reflash of the ecu be if I got grand am kit 1 now and then upgraded to grand am kit 2 later on. I would say do both at once but thats basically 7k to spend at once.

This is just golden and I think is plenty of power for an NA TSX. How much is labor going to be on this kit from Hytech, anyway? I'm up in Norcal but this is simply better in terms of power compared to the Comptech supercharger, although I'd rather run Comptech's exhaust over the HyTech exhaust from what I've heard of them.

I may be coming down to Socal in January if this kit ends up making 260WHP for ~$5k.

Ok i'm thinking about ordering this or the brian crower cams. Only reason why I would get this is because of the reflash to take advantage of the Hytech cams. Any suggestions?

One more thing, if the valve spring, retainers, etc are stock, will it work with the brian crower valve spring/retainers for better performance gains?

That was for Hondata reflashes. From what I've read, it's a different reflash from a different company.

No, no, no! It is a HONDATA reflash, custom made to work with the Hytech products. Doug @ Hondata developed it with John of Hytech.

I don't know where you read this, but try not to post something if you don't know the facts

So Todasi, what ever happened to your setup? You said several months ago that you should have your parts in a few weeks. I haven't seen anything since. Maybe I missed it? Just curious. I haven't read anyone actually finishing this setup.

Contact Marcus if you want the Hytech header. I just bailed on getting one....8 months of "next week" is just too much for me.
to Marcus for being a trooper for me, while we waited and waited.

My header may be available "next week" or so if you want to take my place Good luck!

How does this full setup affect gas mileage? I'm not interested in forced induction because i spend too much time sitting in traffic, but if this setup got stock or better gas mileage I might be interested...

Also, is the setup going to make my car (already have I/H/E) any louder than it is now?

If you're concerned about the cost of gas, why are you spending $4K on mods? I don't get that logic.

$4K buys a lot of gas...

Yeah Dan, I've thought about that haha. For me it's more about the day to day costs. I'm happy to save up 4 grand and spend it on something I really like, but I'm not happy to have my money essentially burn while I sit in traffic because of my gift to myself. Until I can afford a second car I really want to keep this one a reliable and cheap daily driver, which so far it has been.

Convenience and Hytech's supply don't really seem to be long in the same sentence. They are just to busy to actually produce the parts, it seems.

We are not recommending this setup. Not all the information about this was divulged to us at first. It is not streetable in that it inhibits too many functions of the car.

Wait, what 2 weeks are you talking about?

Hytech's offerings!

Engine parts and exhaust will work on AT or MT cars. Reflash available
for all except 05 5AT. Reflash needed for optimal or safe performance.


Exhaust Manifold (Specify NA or SC), $1,300.00 4 weeks

Catalytic Converter (Specify NA or SC), $395.00 4 weeks

Exhaust System (Specify NA or SC), $899.00 4 weeks

Cylinder Head Modification Standard Port/Full Weld, 1200/2000 4/6 weeks

Camshaft pair, Stage 1 or 2 (For NA), $899.00 Stock

VTC Acutator, $125 Stock

Valve Spring set, $149.00 Stock

Retainer set, $149.00 Stock

Valve set, $225.00 Stock

Intake Manifold, $500.00 Stock

ITB Kit, Complete, $2,899.00 2 weeks

Intake Gasket - Hondata, $55.00 Stock

Oil Sump Baffle kit, $289.00 Stock

Piston set w/ ring - Hytech/Wiseco Custom, $600.00 6 weeks

Connecting Rod set - Carillo, $1,195.00 4 weeks

Ecu reflash - Hondata Reflash, $595.00 2 weeks

K-Pro Conversion Harness, Not Including K20 ECU , $850.00 2 weeks
This is a custom dual ECU setup. Not endorsed by Hondata, but we assure
you it works. This is a racecar deal. That means thinks like traction
control and vehicle stability control are not going to function
properly, or at all probably. So for performance and whatnot it will
work fine. But we are not recommending for a street application!


I have outlined a few packages for you so you can save your adding skill
for later if you want. None of the packages include reflash or Kpro,
which will be needed! In addition to labor.
Im talking about this harness that you had posted on the first page of this thread. I heard the only thing that wont work from this harness was the VSA/traction control... anything else that will not function with this harness?

Oh yeah sorry, that was so long ago I forgot.

Basically, if you want the harness, I suggest going direct to Hytech.
