[Euro] Hondata Update

[BlueR_Surfer]

Hey All,

Just like to say , GO FOR HONDATA AND A GOOD TUNER!!!!!!!!

You will never go wrong with it.

Other Competitor's will not be able to come close to wat Hondata is providing.

Think about Cam's setup in the future????????

So far , we have tried a few set-up's like:

With Cam's Setup
-----------------
- Jun with Hondata
- Skunk2 with Hondata
- Toda With Hondata
- BC with Hondata
- Skunk2 with Unichip
- BC with Unichip
- Toda with Unichip
- Skunk2 with Emanage Ultimate
- BC with Emanage
- Toda with Emanage

ECU Setup
----------
- Spoon P&P
- J's Racing P&P
- Unichip
- Hondata
- Emanage Ultimate

Bottom-line , Hondata & Toda is the way to go. It Provide me with gains throughout all power bands.

This is only me and my buddies views , just some information to share for you guys.

Hope it helps!!!!!!

Cherio!!!!

CL9 can't use Kpro or K100 without a piggyback harness and a spare CL7/DC5R ECU........... unlike CL7.

Yeah i know mate , but wat i am saying is just stick to the reflash of Hondata. Dont go for others!!!!!

You will never go wrong with it.

Cheers!

Yes, but the Hondata reflash has nothing to do with the setups that you listed. The Hondata tune used in the reflash was developed here in Australia by someone not from Hondata USA.

There are better ECU's out there than hondata, but for the money it's very hard to beat. Unfortuneately, the cost of getting a hondata running on a CL9 means it's not really that cost effective anymore.

I'm actually looking at a recently released Australian ecu called vi-pec.

www.vi-pec.com

The guy behind the vi-pec ecu's is Ray Hall who used to be involved with Autronic in a pretty major way. The vi-pec v88 is capable of controlling drive by wire (approx. $200 option), can control variable valve timing and even comes with a traction control feature.

I'm also in talks with a local workshop about the lower model v44 ecu. It can't control drive-by-wire but may be able to work in conjunction with the factory ecu.

For those that are interested, approximate pricing:

v44 ecu, including sensors and harness ~ $1650
V44 installed and tuned ~ $2200-2500

v88 ecu, including sensors and harness ~ $2250
v88 ecu, including sensors, harness and drive-by-wire option ~$2500
v88 ecu installed and tuned - $3000-$3500

While these prices may sound expensive it's important to consider that they are a universal stand alone ecu. i.e. they will work with any car you may buy in the future. The v88 can also run full sequential injection/ignition on cars with up to 8 cylinders. Both the v44 and v88 can also control variable valve timing for up to 4 cams at once. Mapping resolution is 32x32 etc. etc.

I've done a lot of research into this ecu, and so far it's looking very promising. Will let everyone know how it pans out...

thanks for the research, we really do need alternatives to hondata, as desirable as it is.

i guess after i've done my bolt on mods this may be the next logical step, expensive though.

Which Hondata ecu are you referring to? I don't find the reflash desirable.

Sure it's expensive, but it's expensive for a reason.

An intake, header and exhaust can easily cost anywhere from $2000-$4000 and for about the same money a good ecu with a good tune will easily net the same increase in power as those bolt-ons (and probably more). You also open up a whole world of possibilities with what you can do to the motor. Upgraded cams, high compression pistons etc. Those more extreme mods are only possible when you have an ECU to tune it.

So in that respect, the value for money is still there, it's just a larger lump sum payment. Still, it's a necessary step when you start looking at more serious engine work (in my opinion).

rumors being circulated by marcus suggest that kpro will be at sema

the offending post:

Hondata an option finally!

We had spoken with an inside source and there is a dual ECU setup K-PRO going to be released for the TSX very shortly. It is being unveiled at SEMA.

The cost of an additional ECU, the harness, and the K-Pro means that is won't be an inexpensive option...but an option none-the less!

[Chris_F]

if it costs more than AU$2200, Vi-PEC wins

This is just an official Hondata product. The dual ECU with custom harness has existed for at least 2 years, just that the harness was not made by Hondata.
