I kinda look at Hondata as a OEM company to Honda , flashpro was the first & safest mod in my eyes.

I just got tuned yesterday I have quite a few mods but I will keep you posted on reliability
PRL FLex fuel
PRL intercooler
Hondata Fuel System upgrade
Hondata FlashPro
AWE Track Exhaust/frontpipe
Ballade sports Catless DP
Radium Dual Catch Cans
Rear Hasport motor mount
Acuity Shifter bushing

she made 417HP/407TQ on a Dyno jet which are great numbers and realistic considering a lot of dynos read higher or hub Dyno read very high so as of now im very satisfied with what power it made it should be a totally different car
one of the best mods I searched out is the rear motor mount and flash pro those 2 mods alone will change the whole cars feel

Is this is your daily? Those are pretty good numbers tho. You’d only need a bigger turbo, and you should be making over 500hp, at least that’s what hondata claimed with their upgraded fuel system.

yes with a bigger turbo id be in the low to mid 5s but yes this is my daily car so I don't wanna go that route yet I would rather wait for Ballades Cam shaft and then do the Perrin springs and valves so we can rev it out to 8k safely and see what other power is to be made my turbo is sitting at 28psi now safely which is great for me

Any idea what one can expect with only hondata base map and flex fuel enabled ?

not really sure to be honest all depends on tuner and elevation and other little things just make sure its running good that's all that matters

No tuner, just base map with flex fuel converter. I heard that simple setup will make more power as a FBO on 93 would. Pretty wild if true

I'm running Hondata basemap 91 oct intercooler with PRL HVI, HKS Legamax exhaust, and HKS intercooler with piping. Zero issues and lots of fun. I have no idea what numbers I'm running though since I've never dyno'd before but I'm pretty curious to see what it makes.

How long/how many miles have you been running the tune?

The problem is that I don’t have any known good tuner anywhere near me, so basically I have to relay 100% off the base maps. I’m planning on getting a catless downpipe since I have a 3” catback. I’m also debating about which intake I’m getting since I’ve heard the best one is the oem. I’ve heard a lot about prl hvi, but not sure if is it worth $400, compared with oem just because I won’t be able to get a custom tune and get the best out of it.
I heard Red Star Motoring in Puerto Rico is one of the best. He does remote street tunes for like 450 or something like that. Many people say very good things about this guy. https://www.facebook.com/Red-Star-Motoring-549578525378558
