has anyone had there ecu reflashed...if so how do you like it, and how long does it take to get it back from them...also kind of a n00b question, but on the hondata website it says that after reflashing the ecu it raises the rev limit to 7700 what is stock rev limit?

edit: do you think its worth the $500+ to get this done? and what happens if i want to add a turbo later? will the ecu effect this?

red line is 6800 stock.. w/ 7200 fuel cut off..

from my readings.. it seems that flash works better on the RSX type s.. I would hold off until you decide if you want to FI or NA. What are your goals?

 

the downside to the upgrade is you have to 91+ octane gas.. risks? humm may prob none... you just cant do any Nitrous/turbo with the flash because it advances timing too much..

 

I should have my ECU reflashed by Wednesday, so I'll let you guys know how it is...


and the redline is 7700, not 7200 like stated above...

 

1-2hp doesnt excite me

my goals will be FI, so what your saying is that stock i would be able to rev up to 7200?

 

no you can rev to 7700 (but i also heard the revamp of the reflash that they did to get rid of the detonation only lets you go to 7500)

go read the new honda mag...it has an article about hondata....real good

 

Since I already have the program in my si along with a comptech header, comptech exhaust, and injen intake I would say it was all worth the money. The hondata program is the ****. When you put it back in your car and go for a drive it feels like a completely different car. The engine sounds different and with a i/h/e the car just kicks ***. You can really feel the power. Comptech and hondata all the way. The extra revs are really needed. You won't be dissapointed.

Yes, you won't be disappointed. You can put your ECU back to stock settings if you do not like it and get your money back within 30 days. Hondata has great customer service.

 

thats 30 days...what if i am satisfied with it but i decided to go turbo in the future??

Make up your mind now.

Or, call Hondata with your questions. They might give you a different price for the turbo flash if you already have the n/a flash.

 

I think if you already have a flash, then a re-flash would cost less. Not sure how much though.

 

its still gay to be without a car for 3 days while you send your ecu to get flashed...

 

see that is the problem i am hitting...the closest dealer is 3+hrs away...it is NOT feesable to drive down there have someone follow me then go back down 4 days later

You purchase the flash from a dealer. A dealer does not need to ship the ecu out for you--you can do that yourself at your convienience. If your dealer gives you issues about this, go to a more on-line hondata dealer, such as http://www.ks-motorsports.com
