What's the latest?Has anyone heard anything???I'm so sick of waiting.:(
Should only be a week or two away lol :secret:
not long now lol
Hondata for a euro?.....yeh right
I used to believe in..
1.The tooth fairy
2.Santa
3.Easter bunny
Sorry to tell ya all but there not real either!!...apparently.
Although you never never know......
1.The tooth fairy
2.Santa
3.Easter bunny
They ARE real....
Right??? :p
WHAT, r u saying the Easter bunny isn't real either.....
I'm just doing my best to keep from getting too anxious..
Well, ima newbie here but this thread has been going almost 2 yrs now............................................... .....
yeah,i've only been waiting for 10 mths.I pity others who have waiting years.
The thing is that many of those who have been waiting years have already done a few engine mods ie..... I/E
However those who have purchased in the past 7 months since the Hondatech pre release have put off any mods as the package seems worth waiting for even though it has been "just around the corner" since early October 06.
Point is we're all hangin' out and hope it's as good as it sounds. I'm sure it will be. At least the interest is still here.
Confuscious say..............................
"Good things come to those who wait"
I am limited by what I can say cause I am not sure I am suposed to but the last version of the exhaust/extractors are on their way back from the manufacturer. Provided they are ok (and everything else checks out) the Website for Jtune after some pics have been taken will be made available in the next month for any pre purchase..... Anymore than that well speak to James.
My fingers are crossed :p :thumbsup: :eek: ;)
my steering rod is crossed
why don't people just get kpro?
whats kpro and howmuch link us :)
I dont mind the wait.... wait a minute, I am not really interested anyway... I rather have Santa Clause bring me something nice this year... I think I had been rather good this year :p
i have seen people using kpro when doing a k24a3(euro) engine swap, why can they use it fine? is there something you can do to make it work?
As Aaron has said, the K-Pro doesn't work with the electronic throttle (DBW) of the K24 on the CL9. From what I know, you can change the throttle body to a standard wire-driven one (e.g. from a K20) to get it to work with the K-Pro. I think there's a K-Pro version coming "soon" that does support the CL9's DBW.
So hondata will now be able to control the euro drive by wire or does that still have to be removed??
so mainly the only issue with the k24 is the drive by wire?? what are the advantages of the drive by wire? is it a good thing or not??
i heard kpro can be used with our car but you will lose your cluster and other electronic stuff.
My understanding is that the DBW throttle is more responsive and that the jtune reflash will retain the use of the DBW, hence the delays...........
i dont see why people dont convert to cable throttle bodies...
can you run Duel ECU? i guess it is all pretty integrated though...
lol!
i just re-read the Hondatech.com website saga again, that is some funny/sad stuff... you poor Euro owners have been shafted hard...
DBW is not more responsive than throttle cable. that's opposite. ALL the type R model are not DBW. Hondata use reflash for 03-05 above models because their K-pro can't run DBW. DBW purposes to be daily oriented vehicles, smooth running etc. On track, you'll lose time with DBW. I have seen in US skunk2 project TSX with K-pro lost the dash controls and features.
Yeah i think so too. DBW makes the car more sluggish imo.
Description taken frm the Acura TSX site...
"By eliminating the direct throttle cable connection to the engine, the ratio between pedal movement and throttle butterfly movement can be continuously optimized. This adjustable "gain" between throttle and engine is a significant step forward in drivability.
To establish the current driving conditions, the system monitors pedal position, throttle position, vehicle speed, engine speed, calculated road slope and corner radius and engine vacuum. This information is then used to define the throttle control sensitivity."
So it is something that is probably not preferable if tracking, like traction control, however for daily driving might not be a bad thing.........
I'm sure DBW will improve with time.It's early days for this sort of technology.
In the US, the Civic Si gets an updated ECU software which improves the electronic throttle's response and reduces the lag. They also fixed the RPM hanging when you press the clutch and release the accelerator to change gears.
The new FD2 is using dbw, hopefully on this type R is better version of dbw.
They could if they wanted. There were many complaints about it on the Si, that's why Honda USA issued updated ECU reflashes. New Hondata reflashes in the US also include this fix and fixes the problem. Not sure if J-tune also developed a similar type of fix for the Euro.
So still waiting???
Best be buying everything else then get reflash when released in 2010
if you guys still got the Honda.....
lol your funny
WHERE THE **** IS THE ****ING FLASH TUNE BRA
I MEAN SERIOUSLY, WHERE THE **** IS IT
His nasty bold caps attack you mean? ;)
Seriously though. I have some money but cant chuck it an anyone. WTF wrong with this world when a man cant depart with his dough?
You got a hall pass bra?
go with christ
Please don't spam this thread continuously asking for updates or having a general winge about the lack of information. Yes, the product has been delayed for ages and information is scarce. Not ideal. But what is the point going on about it or spamming this forum? I am sure no one wants to release this product more than Hondata.
Once there is credible information to post up - it will be posted. Some attentive member will probably post up any info within a few hours of the official release.
Spoke to James today.Pics will be posted on site late next week,group buy will start soon after,will run 3-4 weeks,reflash for 03-05 released at same time 06-07 another 3-4 mths.:thumbdwn: man.only no auto for 06-07 reflash(not sure re.03-05).James requires FULL payment up front!
Hmm im a bit reluctant to sign up for a group buy with Zero actual user/owner feedback to rely on.....
I'm sure James said NO 06-07 auto reflash.Can confirm if you like Leon.
......
Hehe, I said they probably had 03-05 manual but not 06-07 auto yet.
Edit: I made a typo. I meant to say "06-07 manual" above instead of "06-07 auto"
that sucks
YAY for 05 auto.
Wow.
An official announcement from Hondata at 5.04 am this morning......
Quote.............."soon"
I'm excited!...I think.....
well about time
wow, just before the second anniversary of the comment:

the ecu doesn't fit auto 06 right??
read the hondatech site bois =D they went to meet up with the photographers and they said it should b ready as soon as the photos are done =P woot
clicky here for thread
Will a Euro without the Jtune parts benefit from the Hondata reflash?
I think so too. Even if they release it i probably won't buy it cause if anything goes wrong and they take this long to fix it then i'm screwed.
Yeah i also have swing'd ways with this product, it just doesn't seem like a very efficient business
They want to make sure everything is 100% right and ready. I personally can't wait anymore but if you can and plan on ECU modifications this is a worthwhile option.
Sodaz - there are risks with every mod. You need to weigh it up in your own mind.
Yeah,i was going the whole package(IHE@reflash)I'm now thinking just the reflash.1k for approx.20 extra kw ATW sounds like good value to me.
You have higher expectations than me. A guarantee of no problems is asking too much. Without considerable distance and extreme hot and cold environment testing (which Honda would subject its vehicles before selling them) it is hard to predict with absolute certainty what can happen to the vehicle. That sort of testing is very costly.
i just want stage 2 or something... ^^
The ECU can be taken back to stock after the reflash.So that and the fact that it is based on the Hondata reflash in the US which has been out for a few years i think it'd be reliable and should'nt give any problems.
