[Euro] Hondata Update

[tron07]

Probably they will sell it to you with a clause stating xxxx stuffs will not be cover under the warranty or warranty period is only 1 year instead of the x number of years...

well modify is not just about getting the dyno numbers though. That might be just like dyno queen, lol.

Modify is about passion, mate. A lot of people don't care about the numbers. They just enjoy modify their car. 210 kw at the crank evo8 might just get 140 kw atw on roller dyno.
I have seen numbers of DC5 got better 1/4 mile time than stock evo which still running N/A bolt on + tuning. For sure a lot of Euros' owner will do the same if only reliable ecu tuning options is available at the market.

hey i have been the one all along saying stay n/a, i love the challenge of trying to get more power without doing the norm and slapping on a turbo

[EUR003act]

ok, i never said id buy it without seeing figures, i said that the website will have full details, photos, videos, dynos blah blah blah.

secondly, i was just trying to prove a point that u dont need to go turbo to beat sports proven cars, i think making a n/a family sedan quicker than a rally legend is an achievement, and something to be proud of (if someone did it)

third, im always open to peoples point of view i enjoy reading what everyone has to say.

forth, dyno shows 180kph when i hit 130.9kw (4th gear)

fifth, i know the reflash is generic and doesnt match the car or setup perfectly, but its alot cheaper and more time efficient than spending days on the dyno trying to turn it properly...

sixth, i did point out that $3999 wasnt installed, i said an extra $500 which included before and after dynos from memory

seventh, i probably wont get the extreme package (as i already said) instead go for the standard flash and headers...

eighth, stock evo8s do put around 170-180kw at the wheels, very efficient gear box and diff

ninth, id rather buy a euro for 40k and spend 26k customizing it, making it different to everyone else than spend 66k on an evo8 and be the same as the guy next door...

tenth, i already have upgraded brakes (slotted discs, braided lines), strut brace, front and rear sway bar, pedders super lows although im planning on tein super street coilovers

and no im not angry, just trying to answer /sort out alot of questions in one hit

[pornstar]

sorry if i seem to be taking a dig at you, but whats ur mph, not dyno, go to the dragstrip and give us ur mph, most of the knowledgeable ppl on here will be able to tell you, what dynos claim and what is real is 2 different things.

I've tuned many cars that "only" post about 175kws on my dyno, but on the dragstrip most of them pull 115+ mphs. yet some big name workshops will make 200+kws and will only pull the same sort of mphs...

IMO I think JTUNE will initially have trouble selling the extreme pack simply because it will need time in the marketplace to gain credibility.Once it's fitted to a number of cars and the word starts spreading i'm sure it'll take off(providing it lives up to peoples expectations)

Thats exactly what I was saying earlier. They are making a "release offer" of $3999 plus $500 install. So thats $4500. Now I AM going to me modding my car but I want to see some proper comments/feedback from users with real world experience about bag for buck over the next 3-4months.

So then the offer goes to its "normal" price of; lets estimate $5000 fitted.

Now I have spent about $3000 on Tein SS, RSB, ingalls, fitting , grill and others etc. So now add that to the $5000 of unknown performance. Thats $8000 in total.

My cars a 2005 standard with 30 000km worth approx $25 000. Add $8000 so $33000 and I am right on a NEW euro or more importantly im only about $7000 off a brand NEW Civic Type R or Golf GTI.

So even though I do hope that the hondata is good. Im not spending $5000 on my car, especially untested, sight unseen with this release offer.

Im hoping the normal flash with decent headers for about $2000 will be very decent. Let see.....

lol evo8 = 210 at the fly/180 at the wheels

K24 with jtune extreme, toda F spec cams and springs, RC 650 injectors, quad throttle body, borred out to 2.6l, with high 13.5:1 compression, maybe even stroker kit, easy putting down 200kw at the wheels

for all that money you just spend why wouldnt you buy an r34 GTR??

i would rather an EVO 8 any day over a euro but each to there own

Good post. Modding cars never really makes financial sense. Took me a while to realise that it is just about enjoyment.

It can be fun but at the end of the day you dont get much, if any, of the extra money you put in.

I agree with you on spending $5000 on the Euro though. Unless you are really attached to the car you can put that money towards the new model with SH-AWD and turbo or something different that is going to be as fast as the jtune model anyway.

[EUR003act]

everyone has a skyline! lol and people expect r34s to be fast, people dont expect the good old euro, it makes an excellent sleeper ive spent toooooo much money on the euro already to even consider buying a new car, id never get any of it back and id just end up with another stock car!

incase you havent worked it out, i like to be different and stand out in a crowd

[mr747]

its not just a skyline its a race/road car that can be driven in any condition but and at the end of the day the euro is a medium sized family car nothing more

dont get me wrong i like the shape of the euro and everything but for the amount of money you wanna spend to get 200kwfw personally its a waste

The price of a 2nd hand Euro ($24000 for base) and the $4500 for this tune is still reasonable.
