I only tried the extreme version, not the mild reflash. I have an auto Euro and they only had the manual ECU available.

215km/h on that back road was pretty impressive
lol :)
I was pretty impressed,
I tried both the Mild tune in my car and went in the euro with the extreme package
The mild flash isnt a huge gain but its noticeable, it seems to help the low speed jerkiness as well
The extreme package went well, really starts going top end of 3rd
thanks for the detailed impressions sodaz! It's interesting that the Jtune exhaust is heavier than stock. I saved 15kg with my single outlet exhaust.
I don't think I'll be trading in my I/H/E anytime soon for the jtune products but if they ever release a tunable ecu I'd consider it.
At the moment the cheapest tuneable ecu option available for the euro is an EFI brand ecu which is about $3k+ (installed and tuned) from memory.The other option is the motec m400 with optional drive-by-wire compatibility. But I'm sure that setup would easily be in excess of $5k all up.
Yep i'm here.Good writeup sodaz,pretty much covered it.I was fortunate to actually drive the test car with the extreme kit(many thanks to the owner,sorry i forgot your name:o).Power is smooth and linear,no vtec"kick"the car pulls hard from idle to 6k.Exhaust is a little bit loud but we had the windows down so i don't know what it's like with them up.intake wasn't as loud as i expected,when it hit vtec there was a low growl for approx.2-3 secs.then it tapered off quickly to virtually stock sounding.I would get the extreme kit if i was keeping the car for 3-4 or more years so you would get some value out of it.I'll be keeping my car only for another 2 and a bit years(it's 18 mths.old already!!) for business/tax reasons.Another bonus is when you drive the car hard you seem to only need to rev it to about 5-6k,there seems to be no real benefit in revving it any higher.Please keep in mind this was a formed opinion in a 10 min.drive.The mild reflash was then hooked up to my car and i took it for a 10 min.spin.I drove the same route as the extreme car as both passenger and driver so as to be able to give me the best possible idea how they both performed.The mild reflash i thought was quite good,again power delivery was nice and linear.The best way to describe the difference is when you drive your car on a cold night you know how responsive it feels,well it felt like that but it was 30c.Personally i'l be getting the mild reflash as i like how quiet my car is(i must be getting old!!)and maybe the Jtune intake or an icebox and that'll be it for me for engine mods.I think that about covers it.If you want to know more please ask.Also thanks to Adrian,James and the other guys for an informative afternoon.
what's it like with the lower vtec point of the mild flash (and where is it exactly?)
About the exhaust piping so it isn't 3 inch straight through ? I thought originally they told 3 inch exhaust made more power than 2.5 inch. Anyway good feedback Sodaz:thumbsup:
