any news?

Lots of news I will post about my dealings with hondata later on though. Still need to email them regarding a couple things still that have not been ironed out to my satisfaction yet.

For now I will say they reflashed the ECU. The reflash on it was incorrect. I have the ECU back now and the car runs much better now and seems to have a substantial power increase. I will be going for a new dyno run on Tuesday at the same place as last time. Hopefully by then as well I will have some answers to other things dealing with hondata and can post up more.

^ wow. This story just keeps me shocked.

I hope they paid for the shipping back and reimbursed you, and on top of that offered some sort of compensation for their error.

This is crazy. I haven't heard of Hondata making a mistake like this before. That said, mistakes do happen, so as long as they're doing the right thing by you, that's the important thing.

Well as I had said before I had gotten the ECU back from Hondata which they did reflash again. I have been driving the car for about a week since that and it feels like a completely different car. So this Saturday I made it to the dyno again finally. The numbers were much different this time. Best numbers were 226.7HP and 189.5FTLBS of TQ. This is number from 215HP and 175TQ. You can clearly see in the dyno comparison the difference. I still have not got anything worked out with Hondata other than receiving the reflash to the correct one for free and was told I should be receiving a check for my shipping cost. I have not received it yet though. I feel that more should be done regarding this but from what I have been told from others that have had problems with them I shouldn’t be expecting anything. I am going to continue to try and contact them regarding this issue though.

Glad to hear you got it fixed at least.

At least you got it fixed dude. Damn, it's only at 226whp and 185tq?? That's alot of money for that minimum increase. I think you need K-Pro badly!!!

TSX_WS · 06-23-2009, 07:04 PM

^ I kinda agree. Smaller pulley for the rescue!

Actually, those are pretty good numbers considering a stock 04 TSX Auto puts out about 165 whp and 135-140 wheel torque.

I'm glad that you got it fixed though bud!

Yeah I wish the HP was a little higher like 230 at least but the 190TQ seems like a good number.

I have found another issue with the car though. I have a clicking noise from the passenger side wheel while turning at low speeds. No idea what it is.

Tsx536 · 06-23-2009, 08:01 PM

Yeah, that's a good torque number! Seems a little high but I've heard the autos are harder to dyno torque because of the torque converter.

Are you sure it's the wheel? Try swapping wheels. Maybe put the ones in front on back and see what happens. Check if the clicking follows the specific wheel.

Sorry didn't mean to make it sound like I thought it was the wheel, I just mean it comes from that area location on the car. It occasionally happens on the drivers side front as well but the passenger side is like all the time.

Sent you PM on other site.

I think it's your drive shaft. Time to replace....
