[Euro] Hondata Update

Nice website. Finally some info released.....:thumbsup:

If the US Hondata reflash is anything to go by, if you have I/H/E you will make more power from the reflash than if you just had a stock car, but obviously you won't make as much power as the extreme package.

The Jtune hardware is on the expensive side imo but the quality looks good:

$450 CAI - similar to the price of the Injen CAI
$1595 headers - similar price to Toda headers - a lot more expensive than DC sports/Comptech
$1995 exhaust - more expensive than most exhausts out there except the ultra high end ones

The reflash at $990 isn't too bad. I hope it can improve that annoying DBW lag and give the car more drivability.

Engine torque damper (ETD) may reduce it.

I can't wait for the video links to work so we can have a listen to the setup. After all, the sound experience is a very important aspect of a performance setup.

An ETD doesn't do anything for torque steer. ETD helps with wheelhop.

Which one have you got fitted and whats it like?

Im keen on the reflash and their Intake. Looks like about 20nm ATW accross the rev range which is good for $1350.

I'd like to see some comments from real users first.

I can get mine flashed till the end of month cause im getting a new set of keys flashed by honda as I lost a set.

My car wasn’t a test car, but I have driven a test car with the JTune intake and the mild reflash installed. The following week I drove the test car with the whole Extreme package and it made the mild flash with the intake upgrade seem bland. The Intake and reflash is fantastic. The intake headers exhaust and reflash is totally amazing.

You have only just joined this site and have indicated to me that you are part of the Jtune "promotions" team - whatever that means.

To this end, if you are going to post your "experiences" please tell everyone what your interest is in this product - ie do you have a financial interest or otherwise?

I think our members here would prefer a totally unbiased opinion of this product at this point in time - not someone who just joined to make a quick buck.

Does anyone know how much the base reflash actually costs to be installed? Can't see it listed on the install section.

If you read the JTune website the Ultimate package is an upgrade for owners who own the Extreme package. The flash upgrade from Extreme to Ultimate is automatically included in the cost when you upgrade.

The cost of any reflash install is included in the cost of the product this is why you will not find an install cost.

As for a financial interest I have none, I am however part of the promotional team to provide support for the product. I’ve been hired to help answer questions which people raise regarding JTune products. I myself have ordered an Extreme package for my car and am awaiting delivery.

Interesting choice of words for someone who has no interest whatsoever - "I've been hired", "part of promotions team", "provide support", "Tom-Jtune".

You then spam Euro members with advertisements over PM about Jtune products?

Wow - your email address even ends in jtune.com.au... All this work and promotion for no benefit to you whatsoever? So very generous of you.

I'll let the membership decide whether they believe anything you say - i think you are full of it and if you think the Ozhonda membership are idiots you will learn very quickly that trying to hoodwink people will hurt your sales.. Suggest you go back to your Jtune website and if someone wants to speak to you/James they can find you there.

Yup, can't wait to hear some "real" reviews on the JTune system.

Oh mad the JTune site looks crazy, well done guys now my brother needs a body kit and the JTune extreme kit. I wish more company’s would design products like this.

I love how everyone who goes against the dealer monopoly on here gets branded and scrutinised....however anyone else who is a part of the brainwashed 'clan' gets away with murder.

Congrats on the Jtune products Tom and James.
