If it is +15Kw (i doubt it), it wont be across the rev range, nor will it be up top...it will be right where the power dip is at around 5500-6000RPM...simialr to what the hondata re-flash did for the TSX..Quote:

Just wondering... would that be 'unhealthy' for the engine? Or honda engines built to handle that?Quote:

Looks the goods though.
Probably get CAI, Decent headers and the Flash and you'll be cranking bang for buck :)
all those points listed were great to read. got me all excited.
can't wait for it!
Something I wasn't aware of until recently is that the US apparently uses a slightly different rating system for their fuel -- you can't equate their 91 to ours. I believe their 91 is more like our 98. I can't remember where I read about it though...
It's the high sulphur content in our fuel (I think) that makes everyone downgrade the engines coming here.
The rev limit or the VTEC point?Quote:

Sulphur just clogs up direct injection systems, I don't think it forces you to detune the car to run it.Quote:

:)
mmmm...hondata...vtec..goodness ***starts homer simpson drooling***.....
based on what i saw in the posts there there are gains if you do header plus exhaust plus etc etc...hopefully still gains with minimal mods eg intake plus exhaust etc...
cheers
This is total hearsay -- but I read on the RSX forums a poster who said they recently spoke to James who said the reflash will be around $1500 for the Euro.Quote:

Anyway - $1500 would be a little more than I was expecting - but perhaps lets wait and see the results. We also need to keep in mind that there has been a fair bit of cost associated with the development on this product - they just can't roll out the TSX reflash for the Euro - there are differences between the 2 cars.
I hope it is about $1000 though... $1000, I can take it... but $1500... hmmm...
