Is your lid painted for the mild flash like mine for the extreme ?Quote:

oh bugger. That's not cool.
Actually my lid is stock. It was because of the initial problem flashing my ecu that I have a completely stock looking unit.Quote:

how much difference does it make with hondata reflash with hondata setup compared to your own setup of I/H/E?

I would not recommend the mild flash without I/H you wouldn't be seeing the gains. This is brought out my the graphs at jtune showing the mild flash with/without Intake etc.
Im pretty happy with my car now, esp after all the screwing around. Its really good to drive now and a lot of fun. Im not going to get exhaust at this stage as im yet to see a single argument for decent performance gains without a lot of noise. My car is very close to stock sounding but pulls like a M**ther now.

What header are you running suntzu? and how much gains did you get from dyno run?Quote:

I tend to agree that a reflash without intake would likely be a waste of time. I'm not so sure about the necessity of headers though.
You mention that your car sounds very stock, so I'm assuming that the reflash doesn't result in any extra noise - except maybe the fact that vtec kicks in at 5K. Do your headers make more noise than the Icebox?
I'm curious as to whether headers change the exhaust note on the Euro or make it louder and whether there is much performance gain?
In regards to exhaust, I share your sentiment of not wanting to make the Euro louder when the current system seems to cope well with I/H and reflash.
I have the cheapy stainless steel Topspeed header. It does hiss a bit. I could not hear it at all over the sucking sound of the Fujita CAI but now I have the Comptech Icebox they sound about the same in loudness. Not very loud, hardly over stock. Only you would pick it, not a euro owner. The hissing is only noticeable at 2000-3500 rpm. Its very minor. It doesnt even register to me and im fussy.
The Jtune flash makes no difference to noise. The vtec engages in about 5000rpm, but theres no kick. Its just a relentless surge. No in some ways its quieter.
I had a specific budget in mind and a specific power output in mind. So that swhy I didnt go the extreme ( also noise isue) or get Toda headers etc. I reckon I might have excellent bang for buck once i get the Dyno done. cheers
How much is the cost of the reflash Suntzu? Is it actually 1250? Can it be lower? Does it include dynos?
I got the pre order price of about $900 , I think its a bit more now, check the www.jtune.com.au site. No you dont get dynos unless you ask/pay.
It depends on your ability to negotiate.
Im surprised that there's not more here with the flash as a heap of users here were talking it up ....but I guess not willing to put their money where there mouth is.
Hows the extreme guys going? Some more feedback would be nice re: power and noise issues. cheers
