Go to a local hondata dealer, doesnt matter whos the cheapest or what not, your still gonna want it next day delivered, so your gonna be paying shipping which is gonna cost you your arms and your feet.lol Everyone wants thier ecu back sooner then later, so yea.

if that doesnt make sense, then dont worry about it, im sleepy as ****.

Will it void the warranty?

Here's what I did and I live in PA - WAY far away from Hondata.

I paid CorSport $595.00, which includes the overnight shipping of the ECU back to you from Hondata. However, if you want a quicker turnaround, I would suggest sending the ECU to Hondata overnight as well. Mine cost $25.00 shipped with delivery confirmation, Priority Express U.S. Postal Mail, and $1,200 insurance. Insurance is HIGHLY recommended, as the ECU is very expensive - CorSport helped me every step of the way and I had the Hondata forms via email within an hour of my order. I shipped it out on Monday, I had it back Wednesday morning before 10 a.m.

So, all in all, it cost me $620 total - not a bad deal at all considering the gains made on my car.

No, the presence alone cannot void the warranty based on the Magnuson-Moss Act. The reflash would have to be shown as the direct cause of the problem for them to deny you warranty coverage. Just like with your exhaust or any other mod, they can't deny you service based on presence alone.

I love you! I'm getting it done before I go to the desert.

I wouldn't recommend revving the engine to 8600 rpm, though...something about that scares me a bit. Although, it sounds very mean with the Skunk2 70mm exhaust.

I'm headed down there next Thursday to do before and after dyno runs along with the reflash. Shawn (Church) did a lot of work with Project Si on Temple of VTEC and has a very reputable shop. I will post my charts as well as let you know how everything went.
