I live about 40 minutes from Hondata. I rolled by there the other day. Great company, cool guys down there. They put some extensive research into these reflashes. They could make their own microsoft software down there. I can see it now "New PC company Hondata!"
But anyways the v-tec surge is just not as prominent as it is stock because like stated in the million other threads on the reflash, when the vtec kicks in earlier the cam profile gradually builds up to where it makes its peak hp levels at high rpm's. What is gained though is the hp and torque gain getting from Hondata quote "Power is gained in the midrange from 4700rpm to 6300 rpm." Once original vtec point of 6,000 hits it has to build up which takes a bit longer. Thus all this means quicker acceleration, more linear power instead of instant hit, broader vtec range, and now a bad ass car. Just look at Hondata.com You can see the torque curve from 4700 is a nice gradual climb. This is were the motor is gaining a huge amount of acceleration. This is on my first list to do once I fit my r/t high flow cat and vibrant exhaust onto the ride in the next few months. Already have the injen cai. It is essential that you have exhaust mods this includes intake. More flow means revs build quicker and that dyno curve you see builds quicker. Some people over look acceleration rates I don't know why. Peak HP isn't always everything, torque is a huge thing to look at too. But how quickly your motor builds up to that peak HP/TQ numbers is when you see and feel huge improvements.
06civSi you won't be disappionted plus you will see the best gains possible like I said above. Really going to make the best of all those great investments you have made.
For everyone else look plz at the hondata website they say everything needed to know. If anyone has any questions about this stuff let me know. I have been apart of extensive r&d testing, as a test rider, for both Yamaha and Honda involved in Motocross/Supercross motors. Well broke my back last year and am in the rehab process to come back and race the AMA Nationals this year. For a satellite yamaha team. Bought the si for a daily driver to from gym/shop/and mostly canyon runs and track. To take place of my stolen 06 R1. I have found myself along with my motor builder diving into it every day. Have to burn time some how. For the past 4 years have seen and heard a great deal. All the same principals apply for these motors just a few more cylinders/pistons/cam lobes. Can't wait to have my mechanic pull the head and port/ lap valves/ cut valve seats/ and such then see what we can get from this nice 2 liter.
