Does anyone know how to remove hondata or ecu in 07 fit?

[benfit_jdm]

I really want to unleash my rpm's but the chip is obviously holding my fit back.

Does anyone know how to remove it...
possibly make a vid or pics.

and if i do remove it, do i need another sort of chip like a performance chip in its place?

(and by chip i do mean governor or ecu or chip)

honda put a rev limiter for a reason, but there is another way to do it without chipping your ecu, simply disconnect your battery for 24hr then put it back in and it should let you rev all the way, works for me.

I made a thread concerning ECU upgrades.

Sounds interesting to try, but how long does this take affect?
Like how long will the rev limiter be disabled, and is this good for the car?

it really bad for your value spring, you can rev it to 9 but i wouldn't recommend it reving that high for such a small engine. my buddy blown his fit motor by doing it. the best way is to build your motor or swap to a k20a. like i said honda put a rev limit a reason.

The L15 doesn't make much power up there anyway, at 5500rpm both the torque curve and horsepower curve start to drop off quickly. Any dyno will confirm that btw.

well if you can fluently speak japanese top fuel has an upgraded l15a head, high profile camshaft, and reflashed ecu that is able to lay down 136hp @ 7800rpm.....

but it will empty your pocket book around 8 grand to get it over here in the states.

my advice would be to do a k swap if you are looking for the higher rpm.

can someone give me a rough estimate on a kseries engine?

probably 10grand too.. i dont even think you have ac anymore

[kylerwho]

it all depends on how much you can find a k20 for.

the expensive part is the install cause of all the custom work that has to be done. i will be doing this swap in a little and i think my final cost is right around 5 grand and that is not including what i have done to the motor...

Uh.. Resetting your ECU will in no way remove the rev limiter.

Also, there are no currently available reflashes for our ECU. If you've got the valvetrain to support it, the Emanage Ultimate can be used to increase or eliminate the stock rev limiter, but it's tricky to tune correctly. Even boosted, my power falls off significantly by 6k, so if I'm really trying to pick up speed in a hurry I just shift at 6.5k. No need to go higher at all.

Basically, no you can't rev higher. Unless that is you know what you're doing and have the right parts. Revs are a tool, not a solution. Just like fuel injectors. Bigger injectors don't make power, they let you flow more air and take advantage of it. More revs don't make power, they let you get into the best breathing range of your valvetrain / head.
