Just wanted to let you guys know... the TSX reflash is by far one of the best mods you can possibly do. If you are curious in ANY way: JUST DO IT.

Beware however: Your car will be faster, meaner and pull harder than you were previously used to. Your girlfriend/spouse may not like that.

The biggest gain has to be between 3-6k rpm's. This is all useable for every day driving. When you step on your gas, you're going to feel the extra pull, no doubt about it. While Hondata is tuned for an Intake and Headers, you can certainly have the mod without. I have no aftermarket header, but am still enjoying the benefits of Hondata.

Bang for buck, Hondata is the BEST performance mod.

See my dyno:

Blue line: Hondata + Comptech Exhaust
Red line: Hondata + Injen CAI + Comptech Exhaust

Car: 2005 TSX 6MT - 1,980 miles

thx for the review.
Looks like a pretty good gain from 3k-6k, esp the torque from 3k-5k

But how about before 3k? Do u feel any improvement or loss in that low-end range?

 

[OC12]

keep in mind both curves in the dyno above already have Hondata. Compare that with a baseline stock 6MT TSX to get an idea of HP/TQ differences.

As far as torque/hp before 3k, I dont really know if that should be an issue... I mean, even when I'm cruising my car rarely gets below 3k rpms.

That wasn't graphed properly during the dyno run, so I couldn't tell ya. Overall, below that RPM, the differences would be negligible.

Saz.....you read the review for 5AT reflash?? It's a BIG difference from the MT....sucks~

 

[chyllintsx]

damn, would u still get the 3k-6k difference in rpm with a 5AT?

also, with the hondata, would ur car use A LOT more gas??? thats a huge ass issue man, the freakin gas in NY is 2.5 now

 

[Benz]

no shit man.....gas is so $$ right now.....

It will DEFINITY use more gas........you know why?...with Hondata.....you prob wanna rev it higher to hear the sounds....or feel the power...hence more gas

 

[chyllintsx]

ah fuk, thats not kool... damn car has to use 91+ fuel only too...

 

[Benz]

I know man.....I just caught it drop to 95.9 in canada.......don't know how to convertto gallons....lol~

But really, it's not that much of a diff~

 

[chyllintsx]

95.9 sounds of alot of whatever ur trying to say haha

 

[Benz]

ya.....it's actually STILL more expensive than US~

 

[chyllintsx]

FUK.... 32 bux for almost full tank.. like 14.something gallons

 

[Benz]

haha.......mine was $60 cdn.....so.... $30 sth US?...or 40???

and that was during the CHEAP price~

 

[TSX Cman]

i pay about 60ish for a tank of gas right now. compoared to 45 last month.

and 60cdn is like 50ish US nowadays,

 

[chyllintsx]

damn man.... owning a TSX is so much money, the fresh parts r really expensive, and im only 19 !!!!

 

[Benz]

hey buddy......I am only 17~

A/T is highly benifit from the Hondata also ~ saw the dyno chart .. it's awesome .. ~
u should expect 20~30hp gain in the mid range .. ~
fuel comsumption will be increased for sure with the diff settings of the ECU

 

[HondaMan]

Damn, nice car for teenagers! Much better than the 89 Civic Si I had back in the day. Well, 93 is $2.29 a gallon here now. It was nearly $30 to fill up yesterday.

BTW, nice gains!

:sprint:

Your gas mileage should not be worse, unless you are always going WOT...anybody that gets this mod will more than likely experience worse gas mileage for this reason. I know I would! :nod:

 

[chyllintsx]

thats wat hes tryin to say, u use more gas... yea. Benz... we youngin it lol

 

[MemphisRheins]

Pretty much Just like a CAI Hondata shouldnt negitivly affect Gas Milage (CAI can tech improve it) however, your gonna want to get on it alot more frequent and drive alot harder, which of course will Suck down Gas
