[Euro] Hondata Update

[Adrian Euro]

I wouldn't dare try running 2 piggybacks together...........

Please can you explain why this wouldn't be an option... Sorry i don't really have any idea but i do have the VAFC 2 and was going to put it in untill i was told the euro will re learn or something along those lines..... but the tuner tells me this is not the case!!!

^^ I just don't like the fact that 2 piggybacks are trying to alter the signal from the ECU. Imagine a situation where something gets lost in translation! I know it will be highly unlikely, but it is just me. I find it difficult to trust piggybacks in the first place, so putting two together is a no-no for me. Try it and give it a go if your tuner is able to guarantee that your engine will be fine

Does anyone know the Emanage Ultimate part no for the Euro?

Thanks,

chasers????

So what is the deal Merlin - saw you post the above in another thread? Have you thought about asking for your money back, getting your car to how it was - and be done with this?

If they have treated you poorly (and you are one of the first customers who should be treated like a VIP) - how are they going to treat you if there are issues down the track?

Rather than a lawyer - have you thought about the small claims tribunal in your state? Far less cost and still very effective as you are suggesting you have not got what you paid for (and the value is less than $7500).

Another question I have is why they even considered the Civic Type R project before they had concluded the Euro project.

I have been trying to have patience but time drags on...

It is beginning to appear to me that the whole Jtune extreme may have been shelved, I have been living in the hope that very shortly something may happen.

I do not communicate with James privately anymore, as reality often becomes distorted (not my reality) however communicating in a public forum has not yet achieved the desired result of a announcement of availibility of the parts for the xtreme package.

As much as the power is great, I am glad I have kept all my stock parts in case there is a need to remove the prototype headers and exhaust system, although I may consider changing them to another brand if the production headers and exhaust do not eventuate.

The vibration has been "bearable" after a exhaust shop spread the header pipes with a crowbar back in January, however they appear to be drifting back together as the harmonics and vibrations are increasing again with time.

I am prepared to wait a little longer but my patience is wearing very thin!

[aaronng]

Spread the header pipes with a crowbar?!?!?!?!?!?!?! I would have gotten them to reweld the hanger so that the load is reduced and vibrations would be isolated by the rubber more effectively.

What is the worst case scenario? He runs off with your money and you keep the parts (that k20A ecu+Kpro+patch harness will fetch a pretty price).

Quick question Merlin? Is the exhaust running a flex pipe and not just the ball join?

Might be beneficial to put in a proper braided flex as this may reduce vibrations throughout the system.

Good luck with the rest?

Has a braided flex already.

The problem was the first set was too short for the headers to clear the crossmember, so the 2 top pipes were flattenedfor clearance.
This caused the 2 top pipes to rub against the 2 bottom pipes ( the vibration occurs just after the bend where the header pipes become horizontal.)
This also causes the header pipes to vibrate on the crossmember at times.

Apparently this problem was rectified with the second batch of prototype headers in January, however I still am waiting for the replacement for mine.

what a nightmare. I would hate to be stuck with defective parts that you paid full price for :S

[aaronng]

Ouch, I thought everyone was waiting on just the software.. I guess in reality, they had much more to do before release than they had announced to us.

[Merlin086]

As well as the fact that the jtune headers are only compatible with the jtune exhaust, this means that to change the headers requires a complete exhaust system change.....

That is typical of racing headers chasing after maximum gains. Same thing with Hytech. It is not a design flaw.
