Hondata reflash MPG?

Ridezx6r · 06-13-2008, 12:23 AM

Just wondering what you guys who have the Hondata reflashes on your SI are getting MPG-wise?
Better than stock? Worse? Numbers in specific?

Thanks

same as stock... your new driving style will affect MPG though

if thats the case then its worth it.
I feel that when I test drove it - it'd do well with a little more pwoer provided it still gets the same MPGs.
Thanks

If you rev into the new Vtec window, wouldn't it use more gas there? it switches off the economy cam profile to the aggressive, no?

Well yeah, but if you're driving for fuel economy you're typically not going to rev over 4500 rmp's, and anything under 4500 rpm's is the same as stock.

From what I've seen and read you wont actually get MORE power... you will get it sooner though

Sounds like a plan folks.
I picked the car up this morning.
First order of business is to remove the front plate bracket (no need for it in PA), remove the pinstripe on the car (ugh) and the dealer's sticker one the back.
Then, time to buy a card adaptor for the PC-Card slot and get it tinted.

Sometime after I'll worry about the reflash :)
