hondata

 

Hondata if your running some serious mods (turbo etc) or AEM I have heard makes a decent ecu upgrade.....let us know.

 

how much would it go for and how much of a gain would i get?

 

I know most of them they have a learning curve (like your stock ecu) but with less restrictions, I think the hondata one you program yourself. I hve seen others where you send them your ecu and they calibrate a new one again with less restrictions, I would say 10-20 hp and the like for tq.

 

i also heard good things about hondata. i researched the JET Performance one for the 94 Accord and it seemed to have some good gains for hp/trq. it did require sending it away and being programmed for what was currently done to your car and for future stuff. place i talked with said my car would only be down for like 2 days, and it only cost around $300. not sure how this would effect the possiblity of an engine swap.

 

maybe you guys will know, but I am assuming they cant be reprogrammed after this or maybe they can?

 

I would assume since they can program them they should be able to reprogram them.....I have heard about JET too...they ship it out overnight, the only down time is like a day not bad IMO.

 

i have been contemplating it myself...have to remove the old one which is under passengers side floorboard. not sure how to approach that one

 

Just pull up the carpet (there should be tabs) and the there should be a holder that holds both your ecu and tcu unplug and your money......at least on my 4th gen its like that, should be the same on yours.

for 5th's its same place under carpet, but it has a few screws u need to take out, remove the metal bracket thing, and ur set... i used a long neck socket to get the screws out, its i na bad angle to use a plier... gluck.

 

no problems with the floor carpet going back properly or anything?

 

where can i find hondata and how does the chip go far?

 

http://www.hondata.com
http://www.jet.com

Those are for the hondata and the jet chips.

 

i'm lookin at the website but i cant find anything for just a chip.I see systems and ecu's . I'm not lookin to replace the computer. Just a chip,or maybe i'm lookin at the wrong section.

you just have to realize there isnt a good chop availble, this is not VW or wrx bro.

anyway, think of it this way, would a chip work on your car and work on mine? and would the same chip work on turbo or bottle fed car? there's no universal application here.

Vafc for the mildy mod. honda
hondata for the turbo or baller
