Hello All,
Let me just start from the beginning! I bought my Si brand new in 2017, seemed like one of the best cars for the price range I was looking for. Everything was great until I wanted a little more power and a little better sound. I then bought an Injen cold air intake and loved the sound of it.
A few months later I started noticing my car starting to get harder and harder to turn on. The crank kept getting longer and longer. So I took it into Honda because I still had my warranty. They ended up replacing the starter, the engine on/off button, battery, spark plugs, then my head gasket started leaking oil. They replaced that too.
I thought that was the end of that, sure enough, crank is still there. Now I’m in a bit of a predicament. Should I take off the intake and put the OEM? Should I purchase the Hondata and flash my CPU?
Can you guys help as I kind of don’t want to replace my intake as I love the sound of it and would appreciate the more power/torque from the FlashPro. Is the FlashPro a good long-term investment? What is the best “settings” to use it for it?
Appreciate the help,
Thanks
