Default hondata reflash?

i was wondering is it ok to run a hondata reflash for a k20a2 with i/h/e? i heard that u couldn't run the reflash because it would lean out in the higher rpms, but isnt the reflash better than the stock ecu? and the stock ecu doesnt lean out rite? well n e help is appreciated thanks

The reflash is made for the mods you listed. Its honestly the best mod you could ever do to ur car. It raises it to a whole new levbel. Do it

u might run slightly lean with a reflash. Go K-pro, you won't regret it

yea you will run too lean with a race header. I would recommend saving up and getting kpro. it will be one of the best investments for your car.

i believe the mod is made for just a CAI. with a race header you would run a bit lean.. not dangerously but it really depends on the individual car as well. Some run fine and some are a bit lean. To be on the safe side go KPRO.

the reflash runs the best with just a cai/E.

but it says that the k20a2 runs rich stock and by adding the header and reflash makes it run a little lean but it runs ok, is that not true?

that is true and in a lot of cases its just a bit lean and its fine but some people experience running more lean than others.

If you're going to keep the cat, you can use the reflash just fine; if you're planning on more mods later (i.e., race header, cams, etc), might as well go with KPro now.
