I read somewhere that they already plan to have a 6mt, LSDand the SH-AWD for the TL. I honestly can't remember where I seen it at. They are going to start putting out more performance on their vehicles....
They certainly need to! I like the idea of a turbo V6 too - saw that somewhere as well.
I doubt it...that's why the ECUs will be sent to Hondata headquarters....but I'm just guessing
In the past, authorized dealers could perform the modifying of ECUs for KPro. So I just wanted to know if Hondata will allow them to do the same service for the FK8 ECU.I doubt it...that's why the ECUs will be sent to Hondata headquarters....but I'm just guessing
yeah, I was thinking the same, but from the way he replied it almost sounded like it wasn't that way? Guess we'll see. March 30 can't come soon enough.
We want to do US ECUs first because a) it is the biggest market by far b) any problems are relatively easy to fix c) (the main reason) freight, customs, duty and taxes
Again, it is not a Honda ECU. They just got the whole package from Bosch. Bosch protects all their ECUs.
Nope, Honda is not worried about ECU clones. Why would they? There is no real market for replacement ECUs and the chip manufacturers are not even going to sell you the processor unless you are Honda.
Just time and manpower. Honda had a new engine which they needed to get through Euro6 and did not have the people to do it in a reasonable time. So they got Bosch to do it.
No. Specialized equipment and knowledge are needed. This is something we must do.
I can understand as you keep answering the same questions, but it might be kind of difficult as your product was just recently announced, and everyone is so excited that a reasonably priced tuning solution will be available in the near future. As such, sixty days will seem like a long, long time away from now until we are able to get one. So, we understand what you are saying, it's just going to be tough to withhold our excitement.
Thank you for answering this as some dealers were not sure if they'll be able to perform the unlocking task.
Not sure if it was this thread or another but I mentioned that idea and was thinking I would do it. It was pointed out that the dealership would need to program the immobilizer for the ECU. Which how easy that will be is the next question.
Sure. You would need to buy the ECU, drive to the Honda dealer and get the immobilizer matched. The wrinkle is that the car can only be matched to one ECU at a time. So if you did this then your original ECU would not work unless you went through the same process at the dealer. So there is not really much advantage to getting a spare ECU at the moment.
