Hondata is a programable standalone ECU, That means its not a chip but a replacement ECU that you can tune and infinatly adjust. The basic model costs you about 200 bucks. MOre if you want the bells and whistles.

The Acura RSX-S guys are seeing great gains with intake/header/exhaust and a Hondata. In fact they are managing way over 200WHP and mid 13 second 1/4 mile times, which is amost unheard of in naturally aspirated 4 cyl engines in cars with full interiors. At least with sop few modifications anyway.

On this other tsx site thats around there is news that a Reflash is coming for the TSX. No K-Pro just a reflash...i dont know to much abotu it details because im not that tuning intelligent but supposedly it should be on its way.

It depends on which Hondata you are referring. The $200 system (S200) is not a replacement ECU, but an interface unit that connects to a chipped "OBD1" ECU for older Honda cars. You can also buy the S100 sysem which is a module onboard of a modified OBD1 ECU.

The RSX has the reflash option for about $600 to reprogram the existing ECU but it's not user programmable. The user programmable ECU costs about $1000, which is a modified version of the stock ECU.

so basically a honda data is the same thing as the hypertech control module. no matter what ur buying something that plugs into ur computer to change stuff. right?

 

[JoeB18R]

depends on which hondata model you buy.
