hondata refllash 50% price drop

[dirtyMETHOD]

how much hp will you gain if you have shorty header , and full catback exhaust with AEM V2 intake? If its anywhere around 15 hp i think its very worth it!

Hondata states 10-12 hp with similar mods. The extra revs is what i think makes the most noticable gains since it streches the powerband and supposebly sheds a full second off 0-60mph times

Nice, this is good news. I'm going to try to pick one of these up this week! Wasn't their a thread about the compatibility of the reflash and i/rh/e? I remember some people were worried about the air fuel ratio running too lean. Did we ever come up with an answer? I tried searching, but couldn't find the thread.

yeah..... its been posted already

seems like hondata just slashed their prices for the reflash for around 50%

$295 for reflash is very tempting...but I'm not sure if the extra cost in gas is worth the gains. Now if only they would slash their kpro prices...

What do u mean by the extra price in gass?

I think he was referring to the price of Premium gas, you need to run 91+ with the reflash

[15000rpms]

I always wonder if you can use k-pro and tune the car and save the map to the reflash. or any other way to use kpro and put the map in another ecu?

[AUTiger]

^^^^^you need to run 91+ octane with the reflash.

I wish that price was available back when I bought k-pro. I was going back and forth and figured why pay 595 and then another 400 later on to upgrade when I purchased k-pro for 869 shipped. It would have made my decision real easy, but I had that lingering feeling I would go beyond i/rh/e and I was right, so in the end K-Pro was a good decision. However, from a resale standpoint I sure hope that the price of k-pro doesn't drop like the reflash did. Not that I plan on selling anytime soon, but for years people have been able to turn around and sell their kpro-ed ecu's for $800+.

[AUTiger]

wow, if I read that correctly then I would just buy the reflash, then a week later upgrade to k-pro. Clubrsx/Clubep3 is selling them for 290. Then the cost to upgrade is 500. Then basically you can get k-pro for 790, ain't that some shit.

[cronicEP]

maybe jumping on this when i get my tax money....

[dkid15]

Now reflash is very worth it to anyone with boltons. What i dont get.
PAy 990 for kpro
Pay 290 for reflash + 500 for upgrade to kpro = 790 for kpro?

Hondata math fail?

[salvatore]

has anyone ever done this before, just worried about sending my ECU out. I wonder how long it takes to get it back? Imagine if it gets lots during shipment or damaged, some things that scare me. I wish there are some shops in GTA area that can do this on site for that price. That would be perfect not comfortable in sending my ecu out.

It helps your 0-60mph speeds because you can stay in 2nd to get 60mph. One less shift to get to 60mph = faster times

So there's no danger in using a reflashed ecu with i/rh/e, as in the engine running lean?
