well I´m gonna start at the beginning.
I dropped my ecu off at the hondata booth at SEMA, there Doug the president of hondata took it and was gonna see what he could do.
few days later I contact Doug and he tells me the bad news that my ecu had a failure and was ruined, it was not a one of a kind deal, he has had many ecu failures in the past. So I do not think it was a failure just because mine was a different ecu then the TSX´s. Anyway he told me that he was gonna replace my ecu with a new TSX one and he reflashed that one.
he asked me if I wanted to have the immobiliser turned off and I said yes cause I wasn´t sure if the dealership over here would be able to flash the key to my new ecu. he also told me that I would have 2 check engine codes from the fact that the TSX has 2sensors that we don´t have and the ecu would send codes from not finding them. He also told me that with a few weeks more to look into this he can find a way to turn them off, which is what I´m gonna do someday when I can be without a car for a few days.
so I installed my new ecu today and got the check engine light as expected(will check soon what the codes are and see if there are any ways around them, like maybe adding those sensors from the TSX that we don´t have. I would think that we have the viring for them?)
I also get the blinking key light from the immobiliser being turned off, I just found out that I can get rid of this by just unplugging the plug from the immobiliser, will be done tonight.
I was worried that I might loose the trip computer. but everything works just like before.
the weather here is terrible so I haven´t driven it much today but I did take a little run and can tell you that it´s well worth having, you cannot feel the vtec come on at all, it´s just a seamless transition and the rev limit is raised to 7600rpm, the vtec crossover is at 4850rpm. I did get a 06TSX reflash and it seems to work fine although our 06 accord did not get the revised engine the TSX got.
as soon as I get rid of the check engine light and the immobiliser light everyting will be perfect
so now I´ve got a K&N typhoon intake, Stainless steal header and the reflash. stage 1 complete.
next up will be installing the comptech springs and hondata IMG that I´ve got laying around, then I´m gonna order a set of UR pulleys, a high flow cat and then I´m gonna wait for Ingalls to release a engine torque damper for us. and that should be it for stage 2.
I did have the car dynoed before the reflash when I had just the intake and header and it made 170.5whp@6770rpm and 224.7NM max@4300rpm.
so I will be dynoing again soon to see what the reflash is doing.
