I think if i knew I would have to spend so much cash on this mod I would probably not have done it. I didnt know about the issues with the 06 model until Honda tried to install the us ecu.

I am so glad I did go through with it though cause I love the difference on how my car drives now.

Ah I agree with all of you, the money was well spent. I have easily put over 2k into the car but this was the biggest bang for your buck engine mod I've done lol. I think I'm at about $1180 as well.


Also just the piece of mind knowing your engine is running ALOT smoother is always good!


And sleepy that is crazy, the extra amount you had to pay!

yeah i know, i was already half way when the flash pro arrived at my door, there was no way at that point i was going to return it. I have dumped alot of cash into my car, in the last 6 years of owning her and i have enjoyed doing so. I try to never do things half ass.....

Figured i would post up to help people out instead of going through trial and error like i did.

this is my gurl

So, good news today! just got my car back from Honda and the swap was a success!

old ECU #RNA - C43

new USDM ECU #RNA - A13

swap only cost me $95 and it took them no time at all... they could not modify my base maps to help me from running lean until i get my E-TUNE but thats fine.

is there anything nearly as good as flashpro not needing american ecu? I dont understand if there product is so good why not market a canadian version or something. Sounds really good but like too much of a pain in the butt to get on canadian cars.

Trust me Venneh there is nothing lol. I honestly looked everywhere and really debated getting flashpro. I tried to find another alternative to do close to the same thing but hands down flashpro will be the best bang for your buck mod on your car period. :p
