1)How hard is it to install one in a 03 RSX type s.
2)what stage are avaivble for RSX.
3)how much power(tuned) does it give out.
4)what can i do with it. tuning wise..

Thanks

 

1. Easy... just look at the hondata website (it uses your stock ecu so you have to take it off and ship it to them)

2. 1-4 I believe 1 and 3 are for cars utilizing stock air box (waste of money IMO) 2 and 4 on the other hand are best mated with a cold air intake. 3 and 4 have the 8,600 fuel cut off which is because you might as well have the extra rpm to play with if you reflash.

3. Check the hondata website. I'm thinking you easily make 10+ HP and a grip load of torque throughout the rev range.

4. You can't do much tuning wise because it is a flash it's not like an afc or aem ems computer. But they do have upgrades... and other options.

Hondata was a really good mod IMO... Go with a Cai because a shorty just does't perform as well... still makes power, but not enough. I ran a 9.6 in the 1/8th with shortty, hondata-4, and exhaust... Yesterday i ran 9.4 (i'm trapping 9.3 - 9.2 times, still working on launch) with an injen cai (gave a nice bump in power) and a torque dampener (which accounts for 0 HP). So yeah get a cai and hondata

Id say that .2 jump is from the dampener and the better launch it will produce regardless of its zero HP gain... not the CAI versus SRI but I could be wrong.

 

I suggest you go onto clubrsx, and go see for yourself how much more efficient the cai is vs sri, espcicially when mated with hondata (my Butt dyno seems to tell me its faster) There are also dyno's all over the threads proving it.

True... better launch = better times, which I am still working on, but the cold air is proven to produce more power than the shorty in real world and on the dyno, which also is true when mated with hondata. Because honestly how helpful is hot air from the engine compartment... vs cold air, where the filter is right by the fog light opening? Just my opinion... and my experience with both the sri and cai.
