If its like the Kpro for the DC5R then it should be around the $1800 mark...hopefully cheaper :)

Well it is not like the Kpro - this is a reflash. KPRO includes hardware - this is just a software change.Quote:

is it really worth $1000 for just a little bit more power ? (that according to the hondata website isnt really that noticible)
1000 is a bit of dosh :S
Depends on what you want. People fork out $500 for those silver plastic trims kits in the Euro. Just a few pieces of plastic. The Hondata will be noticeable - don't focus so much on peak power gains - look at the change in the curve - the power arrives sooner and there is much more. For the TSX there is 29hp increase at 6000rpm.Quote:

well what I was trying to do was do a price comparison...since we never got the re-flash for the DC5R like the RSX-S in the states, so I figured that would give an indicative price...but yeah I guess the re-flash would be much cheaper.Quote:

like yfin said there's even a chance will notice more than a 29hp gain at 6000rpm if the difference between k24a3 and k24a2 is only in the tuning.
But yea, powerwise this mod should make a big difference and coupled with a good intake and headers you could be looking at close to a 50hp gain in some part of the rev range... all for under 2 grand :p
Im a cruzer, i enjoy driving slow and easy. im about all 'looks' and no 'go'. and thats fine with me. if i wanted "go" there are a lot of other cars out there. And what with all the stupid speed limits and the huge fines for doing 3kph over the limit, 60kph would be the average maximum speed that i drive at...
1000 could go into a nice set of extractors and a catback.. would that do more wonders over an ecu?

Check out the dyno graph (attached) that is supplied with the PowerChip product - not even a true reflection of the euro's power/torque curve!! what are these guys trying to pull?! Sounds like a bunch of BS to me.... :thumbdwn:
Hmmm...couldn't attach any files for some reason...try this link
