[E-Gene]

Will a Euro without the Jtune parts benefit from the Hondata reflash?

I'm guessing James will be releasing a generic tune for non J-Tuned parts...

Apparently there is none of this "stage" business anymore.

Lets see the detail but I don't think I am buying this anymore. James is a good tuner and I am sure the product will do well but I don't feel it is for me.

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.

[johnprocter]

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.

Indeed. I've installed quite a few mods on my car already and I know that quite well but with something as critical as the ECU I really would need some sort of guarantee before i make the decision.

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... ^^

[tony1234]

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.
