[Euro] Hondata Update

[Merlin086]

Description taken frm the Acura TSX site...

"By eliminating the direct throttle cable connection to the engine, the ratio between pedal movement and throttle butterfly movement can be continuously optimized. This adjustable "gain" between throttle and engine is a significant step forward in drivability.
To establish the current driving conditions, the system monitors pedal position, throttle position, vehicle speed, engine speed, calculated road slope and corner radius and engine vacuum. This information is then used to define the throttle control sensitivity."

So it is something that is probably not preferable if tracking, like traction control, however for daily driving might not be a bad thing.........

I'm sure DBW will improve with time.It's early days for this sort of technology.

In the US, the Civic Si gets an updated ECU software which improves the electronic throttle's response and reduces the lag. They also fixed the RPM hanging when you press the clutch and release the accelerator to change gears.

I wonder if HA could do some sort of software upgrade for our Euros???

The new FD2 is using dbw, hopefully on this type R is better version of dbw.

They could if they wanted. There were many complaints about it on the Si, that's why Honda USA issued updated ECU reflashes. New Hondata reflashes in the US also include this fix and fixes the problem. Not sure if J-tune also developed a similar type of fix for the Euro.

[Type R Positive]

So still waiting???
Best be buying everything else then get reflash when released in 2010
if you guys still got the Honda.....
