[Euro] Hondata Update

[Cranial]

Re-reading what I wrote, I guess it could have been taken a different way to what I intended to say. In anycase, it's good to see you giving the flash a go when so many people haven't done so.
I plan to get the flash, I have no money at the moment as I myself have done some unique drivetrain mods to my Euro, which I will write up a review for soon.

Thats fair enough. Its hard to say if its worth it cause different people put value on different things in certain ways.

Interested in hearing about these custom mods. Good to see people trying things.

I got a free Hondata Heat shield gasket when my ECU blew so Im going to fit that and a throttle body bypass. Not sure if my buttdyno will register the 1.6 kw increase though. But really im doing it for fun and something to try eh?

why does auto use more? what if i use tip tronic (lol this may sound like a stupid question)

Because it has a torque convertor. Sacrifices revs to smoothen out the drive and to get more torque. More revs + more throttle = more fuel consumption.

Damn, just my luck........

Was going to take my euro with the extreme kit down the 400m @ Willowbank tonight, bloody wicked storm going thru Brisbane now...


Have to wait 'till next week now, I even headed off but phoned home to check the radar loop...luckily.....all bad news......

Ah well, used to delays........hmmmm....lol

I think my ECU is adapting better now after a few days of running. Got more power so it seems or could be the lower temps ATM. Either way a stock euro isnt getting near me, love to drive an extreme kit tho.

One week on, made the 2 hr trip, big rain cloud over Willowbank on arrival 15min before start.

...and then it pissed down......

Got called off 5 min before start, too wet!

....so 2 hr trip home....try again next week.......

o man, i feel sorry for you haha
its the curse of jtune gear, everything gets delayed =P
but yer hope next week it wont rain for you hehe

[Pumped]

that sucks

Been lots of rain around lately, Went to Eastern Creek yesterday and was worried i wouldnt get on the track for rain, was lucky enough for it not to be wet

Curious to see the numbers it puts down to

So whats the deal with j tune now, is he doing mild flash tunes for anyone?
is it just me or was the original price for the mild tune supposed to be $980? and its now $1250?

That is a shame - do you have the final extreme kit yet or is it still the pre-production stuff?

Finally got to put my euro extreme down the 1/4 mile at Willowbank last night.

Heaps of people after rained out the last 2 meets, so only got a couple of runs in.

First timer, so improvements to be made, especially reaction time, but my busted left hip doesn't help with the clutch..........

1st run.....15.3
2nd run....15.3
3rd run.....15.1

Should crack 15 with a decent start and spare etc dumped.....and a bit more practise......lol....

Going to give it another run in 6 weeks or so when I have the final production exhaust............
