Default Hondata question...

So I searched and looked through everyone post and still have some questions...


I have an 03 EP3 with CAI, Megan Racing Header and Magnaflow exhaust. I probably will wanna do other serious engine mods, but they won't be for a long time.

Should I just get the Reflash for now and upgrade to KPRO later?

I am thinking it will be a couple of years before any other SERIOUS engine mods hit my car.

I don't know anything about tuning so if I did get KPRO I would have to take it to a tuner and PAY to have them do it.

I am thinking Reflash is going to just help to give me a quicker and better all around car while working on suspension and brake mods. And then Kpro later.


Any input?

Any one I could talk to here in Oregon?

reflash is a good investment.

Ok. I am thinking of the reflash as a semi temporary fix to give my car a little extra spirit while saving for some sort of boost, KPRO. I can always upgrade my reflash to Kpro later anyway.

I am looking to get the Wilwood front brake kit for 600 dollars. 12 inch rotors with 4 piston calipers. And then working on my suspension a little more, etc.

Just get Kpro and load the K20A3-civic-tuned-high-octane kal and tune out knock and adjust AF ratios urself. Its pretty simple. There are tons of guides on how to do it. You will save about 100 bucks in the long run and have downtime only once.

If you tune if for af and knock you will see lots of gains in the mid range and some up top. Overall the car will be faster.
