Andy install the what... CAN... English please bro.
Also 06 tsx ecu... Thought it was 07-08.
OK buy all the shit. Book Honda appointment for ecu swap. They will put the new ecu in and program my key. Whatever.
Then u saif upload hondata calibration. Well that ****s me coz I have a Mac book. Won't be uploading anything. Once I get tsx ecu in I'll just find someone to tune it for me.
Also this vTC gear.... I heard its a pretty big job to change the gear.... Is this true?
To replace vtc it is timing chain off
Has jhim got a white euro. If so I saw a YouTube clip. Was amazing. That's exactly what I want my car to do. Haha
And how much for u to do this bro? Lol
Andy, does jhim exist on ozhonda. Tried sending him a pm but no luck. Says name don't exist.
Cheers
You need to swap and splice some wires that's linked to your ecu.Quote:

ok get more power with this Uni-chip and I send you a box of beer. I tried this "crap" long time ago and won't use anymore.Quote:

MoTeC and AEM EMS systems can support extra sensors and has inbuilt processing power waayyyyyy beyond what hondata can throw at it. But they aren't the most user friendly systems.
Face it, people use hondaa because they are easy to work with. hondata is the dummy camera compared to AEM and MoTeC which are professional DSLRs. To 99% of the people the dummy camera is sufficient.
I personally prefer EPROM reflashing, instead of the "roundabout" way hondata do them to trick the ecu into the new codes.
Bunch of folks in Russia had been flashing cl9s for a while now.
I agree that MoTeC and AEM is nice, but it's not so friendly when connecting all stuff. So for simple people there is less options.Quote:

You mean opening up the ecu and connect wires? That's how hondata reflash work too.Quote:

there is two options how create EPROM, only 1 option of them is better from other. There is no need to open ECU if you want to reflash, it's much easier if you have right equipment.Quote:

Pretty sure hed be talking about the Controller Area Network (CAN) adapter. As i have no expirience with flashpro setup, id guess you need a way to communicate with the ECU so you can re-program it.. the CAN adapter would let you do this.Quote:

Not too keen to agree on the AEM ecus. Their older stuff was a bit shonky (imo), cant comment on new stuff as. The processing power of the ecu is not really relevant anymore. A new 'smartphone' has a faster processor. Its the software that matters most nowadays...Quote:

I dislike the idea that people wont do something better because its 'harder'. Sure i can understand cost/time/ect... but cmon... youre modifying your car to be what you want, effort is implied isnt it? (unless youre only after the e-reps)Quote:

Connecting wires would probably do the exact same thng as the CAN adapter....Quote:
