i'm going turbo on my itr soon and i'm installing the kit myself but not the hondata. should i get the hondata installed first and then the turbo or turbo first then hondata? sorry if this is stupid question, but i just had to ask.

 

Install the turbo kit yourself, then drive the car (Very carefully) to the nearest Hondata dealer for tuning and install of hondata.

you are supposed to install Hondata, then see if the car start and runs good because it uses the non boost tables. Drive it around, if you have stage 4 tune the non boost or off boost area first then tune boost later, like after in stall. possiblity of running lean if install turbo then hondata depending on your set up. But When I got my hondata I didn't read and installed the turbo first then Hondata. blow my motor, now on a rebuilt motor it was a pain in the **** to tune boost and off boost fuel and ignition tables. Remember read Hondata carefully. Greatfull Hondata owner in CT.

 

thanks for the info

 

No, you can NOT install hondata first because you will need a program in there. The chips come blank. You can drive your car over to the nearest hondata dealer for tuning with your stock computer. Besides if you didnt get your computer chipped yet, you will not be able to connect the interface box to the ecu.

HTH

 

all the places i know of that sell hondata put a base map on it so you can drive it to the tuner... carefully. very very very carefully.
