My FlashPro experiences and datalogs (boost level and IAT temps with oem IC)

[dallasjhawk]

is there a TL;DR for this? Is it worth it?

YES, absolutely

My FP is glitchy as fuq.I have to use the button on the FP itself to upload a tune as it's hooked up to the laptop.FP manager upload buttons don't work and say I have a unknown FP.Odd since prior to updating both it uploaded fine via FP manager.But it does upload the tune and datalog as it should.

Noticed you have a touring, is it a 17? I saw a note from Hondata to not use the update on 17 Touring yet

Standing in front if the car, the ECU id is on the left side of the ECU at the bottom. I had to shine a light at it to see but I did not have to remove the ECU

Is that it? Where is the ecu#, I don't see it, I do think even know what to look for. Do I have to look for # and letter, how many digits? Sorry guys I don't know much about this stuff that's why I'm asking here so you guys can help me out. Thanks

It's on the other side, in between the ECU and the Airbox, at the bottom. It is nearly impossible for me to see with the Mishimoto intake in there. I just pulled the trigger and hoped for the best.

Haha, that is the first thing I tried, It is way to tight of a fit unfortunately. I have a small mirror on a stick that I may be able to use. But I haven't had the time to try.

Thanks. I'm gonna try that when I get home.

I have a 2016 EXT.Everytime I chose non touring it chose touring every time no matter how many times I tried.Ive been using Hondata since it was available for my 09 r18 then my 12 SI and never had these issues until now.But again Ive figured out how to get it to upload and datalog so I guess that'll have to do.

Yeah, I knew you had experience with it, just didnt know what was up with the 17 touring that he said dont use it. So weird how sometimes it all just goes haywire. They'll figure out for sure

How

I have been running on the Hondata FlashPro 2016 civic CVT +6psi Injen SRI tune for the pass few days. It's definitely night and day comparing the factory map. First couple of days with the tune, I still had half a tank of 87 octane. I did couple of runs 0-60mph runs and gotten 6.2-6.4 second. It's been pretty cold here lately.. The tires aren't gripping as good.

0-60 mph time is highlighted yellow. 87 octane 19psi
The factory intercooler is working really well with this cold weather. IAT temp is the temp at the intake 44F. IAT2 is the temp in the intake after the turbo and intercooler 37F. The OEM IC is doing a pretty good job in the cold weather.

Another 0-60mph run and got 6.4seconds with lower boost avg 15s psi
Intercooler doing its job on cooling the air after the turbo. 5F drop

Finally the fuel light came on and I filled it up with 10 gallons of 93 with 2 gallons of 87 left in the tank.
With 93 octane, It ran even stronger but at lower boost(14-15psi). Did the 0-60 in 5.9seconds with a slight bad launch.

Another run with 93 octane and a better off the line for a 0-60mph test
15-17psi
0-60mph - 5.7second

From what I learn from this 10th gen Civic is that. It's not all about the boost level. You would really need to put it on the dyno or track to see how much you are gaining instead of judging it by the boost level.
Here's what Hondata said on the other thread


I'm going to put it on the dyno once a downpipe comes out for this car. I will also raise the boost up too. It will be a fun car with 240+ tq!

0-60 factory vs FlashPro

How accurate is that 0-60? 5.7 seems too good to be true. Would it be possible to get additional testing done using other methods?

The datalogs are readings from the ECU. I'm going by 0-60mph from the speed sensor(vss). As stated before how accurate it is who knows. It's a benchmark for me to see if there was any improvement from stock. With factory map, I ran a 7 second. On FlashPro, I ran 5.7-6.1 on 93 octane. So it's a 1 second improvement for me

Also, I ran a basemap that exactly matched what I had on my 8th gen, then I had a custom tune and the difference was night and day. The car ran so much better with the custom tune. The basemaps are made to be a one for all, each engine can respond entirely different with the exact same tune bc a custom tune will be made for your engine

What makes it completely different is sea level, and the conditions

its definitely pretty accurate. Win

It would be interesting to compare knock sensor readings after some more seat time on the modified setting, and compare it to the old 87 readings. Thanks for posting , great info !

Sea level is part of it, but any tuner will tell you, it would vary from my SI to my neighbors SI. The tunes wouldnt work the same in each car.

I got to run around town today with some decent weather and my goodness, the way this thing pulls with that +6psi tune is awesome. Its such a difference. I cant wait for my intake and custom tune. The butt dyno says yes the FP made it faster already
