hondata refllash 50% price drop

[Mighty_Mouse_Ep]

the 05 ecus will not work with reflash my friend with an 05 ecu sent his in to hondata thru club rsx and club rsx said hondata cant reflash his ecu and his only option was k-pro.

[Heitzke]

Are we sure that we're not talking about the 05's being different because the RSX ECU is different in the 05-06's? I'd be surprised if the EP3 ECU changed considering our drivetrain remained identical, when the RSX changed up a lot. Not saying one way or another as I have no experience with 05's.

question to the gurus of the ecus...if i were to get my current stock 02 ecu and have it modded for kpro, would i still be able to use that kpro'd ecu with a k20a swap?

im thinking about getting this for my car...

Yes, you can use it for whatever motor or mods you choose.

[RedSiBaron]

thankyou sir!

For your ECU to be reflash compatible...

ECU Part # must be PNF A01 through PNF A12.

At work right now and can't check my 05 ecu #. Anyone know if you can check online with your VIN or can someone check there?

[k20a3EP3]

So I talked with a guy from Hondata. 05's can not be reflashed since we are PNF A13's.

How would one go about buying a new ECU and immobilizer? I was thinking that going this route though more costly, wouldn't cause me to be without a car for 3 days. (Trying to look on the bright side of things.)

[Heitzke]

Bummer, sorry to hear that for you 05'ers. The reflash is a really good mod.

i have been hearing from a few people that i can get my reflash done at a local shop if they have the correct equipent? i specifically heard one shop in general

is this possible for them to just reflash it there so i dont have to ship my ecu out?

or is this just a misunderstanding?

you could just buy a used EP3 (non 2005 model) ECU and have honda mate the new ECU to your immobilizer, then ship the newly mated ECU to hondata for reflashing

no, vendors sell the reflash and facilitate it through hondata

Might as well buy KPro after the costs involved with buying a new ECU and going to the dealer. I have $295 to spend not $1,000.

[johnkimble]

your $295 isn't going to get you either

[BeaterEP]

Nice that it droped BUT FUCK THIS BULLSHIT

Care to elaborate man?

[maestro]

Looks like he has an 05 which unfortunately, is not compatible for the re-flash.

[maestro]

I just ordered mine =)
Im excited to see/feel the results.

[Mighty_Mouse_Ep]

anyone-k-pro worth it?

K-Pro is only worth it if you get it tuned. The stock map on k-pro sucks for an ep
