Confused about Sport button and Primary and Secondary Calibration

EasyFrag · Jul 27, 2019

Just got in the Hondata Flashpro from the previous owner of my new car. I understand that I can use the sport button to control a tune, but I am a little confused about the primary and secondary calibrations. Is the primary what the car runs when not in sport mode, and the secondary is sport mode. Or is some sort of stock tune what runs in non-sport and in sport the loaded tune runs.

Sorry for what seems like a basic question, I couldn't find an definite answer by reading through posts or the somewhat difficult Hondata documentation.

EDIT---- I found another post that talked about boost not being reduced in non-sport mode. I think I am experiencing that, which might be leading to my confusion.

I am in the same boat as you and was wondering the same thing... I kinda feel that the extra boost is in the non-sport mode as well, but feel might a placebo effect since I loaded the tune... but definitely feel the difference once the sport mode is on :flame:

The primary and secondary storage within the flashpro are 2 seperate tunes. For instance you can have the "stock configuration" tune in the secondary slot and a +6 or +9psi tune as primary or any version of this.

Sport mode works as factory for suspension steering and throttle response but within each tune you can have different "torque targets". There are provided tunes that give you stock behavior when not in sport and increase the boost when in sport mode. These are the one's labeled "...via sport button".

I would suggest watching every single hondata video available pertaining to the 10th gen platform.

So, if I load a tune that has "via sport button" then it automatically loads a stock tune and the upgrade tune?

If the "via sport button" isn't selected for the tune, then the tune is active in reg or sport mode, and sport just engages suspension, etc?

correct. The via sport mode tunes keep stock like behavior/boost when not in sport mode.

Make sure that Cruise main is enabled if you want the boost tables to switch over, it will disable all other"enhancements" like rev hang and throttle response etc, sport mode will still use +6 psi table and normal mode will use "stock" values, had the same issue on my 19 Si

With the Hondata? I thought only the Ktuner used the cruise for control?

Apparently not, I thought that it was a ktuner thing only, but I guess it isn't because it clearly works for me and you can definitely tell the difference, it dosent make sense why most people have no issue with it and very few do, might be something to do with year/build date or something...

Interesting, I will check it out, thanks!

No problem! Let me know how it works, and make sure you load the "enabled by sport mode" tune etc
