[Euro] Hondata Update

[aaronng]

for some reason, the front looks like a camry?

It's because of the headlights. But.... the Camry's lights copied the Euro, which came out first. So that concept doesn't look like a Camry. It's the Camry that looks like the Euro.

Anyone heard anything more about the Hondata product? Is it worthwhile, or is it easier/cheaper to build your own kit?

(The new Euro looks sweet!)

"The latest is we’re changing our header design to accommodate more power in the automatic euro and make them compatible for fitment. The automatic Euro has a 2mm spacer behind the drive shafts and is not identical to the manual, this causes interference problems which is currently being rectified. For those who want more information please visit us at our research and testing facilities Rev Zone in Melbourne."

Not great news for people waiting patiently for release. One of these days there is going to be a good news story to say it has been sold, fitted and delivered to a Euro owner...

I would have kept my Euro if this was available even just 2 months ago.

It is a shame because the reflash product itself will be good value and you get peace of mind that all the bolt ons work together nicely.

It's a shame for them to hold up the manual Euro release because they want to fine tune the auto version.

I also have given up.

Yep me too. Im looking at a new system with I/H piggyback...

I agree.From what i've seen and read I'm sure the products inc.reflash will perform well,it's just the waiting and release dates that keep getting pushed forward that has pissed me off.

WOW..just thought I'd add my bit here...I'm from the UK and we had a prototype Hondata ecu over here about a year ago.

What we had to do was take out our ecu and substitute it for one that Hondata had reflashed......this cost £900 odd!!!!!!...we also had to loose the use of the immobiliser as well as other annoying effects...suffice it to say I didn't go for it...it was just too expensive for the hassle......we have a thread about it here

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.

So what's the go with the "stages" now???? Will the ECU for stock I/H/E be the same as that for the full blown upgraded I/H/E?

I suppose that allows for future upgrades of I/H/E without the hassle of having to reflash for maximum gains.

I would also prefer that the reflash be tuned for maximum gains on 98 RON fuel. Why would you bother running anything less on a retuned car?

Anyone heard anything more? I'm guessing he has been pretty busy with his new baby!

Hey all,

Just a quick comment to tell everybody that I have been involved in the testing of the Hondata Euro 5AT with James at Rev Zone.
I am very suprised at the quality of the products and the amount of power the car has produced from the limited 5AT engine.
The release is very close now, keep checking the Hondatech site for more info. I can tell you that the results are going to be very exciting, even compared against the biggest brand names in the aftermarket car scene.

cheers
