I would much rather have this chip than TE37s I have money to put down on your computer tweaking skills!!

 

is this still happening? i'm in for one.

 

It should be, we're just waiting for Hondata.

 

Better be soon, tired of the GE getting no love. I have a feeling it will come out and only a handful of people will actually buy it.

 

I will definitely buy it lol

 

Talked to them yesterday as i am a Hondata dealer and i need one for my daily. Their words went like this " there is not enough need for one right now, we are planning on doing one in the future but not at this time"


Sounds like NO!

 

Yeah I'm sure we won't see one for a long while, if ever.

 

When a company says " there is not enough need for one right now, we are planning on doing one in the future but not at this time" this is not a good sign. Dont get me wrong I would LOVE this for my FIT!!

 

I knw they told me this aswell


ill still keep my fit its good enough for now till i get some bills tooken care of i can finish my project

 

Well, maybe when Sprintex starts selling their supercharger they will see a market.

 

If this is still a thing, count me in! The next thing I want to do to my GE8 is tweak the ECU and it sounds like Hondata is the ECU to have... but they don't yet have one for the GE8.
And I might supercharge my GE8 later, for lols, but I'd want a proper ECU tuner for that...

 

A little late to the party but consider me in on a flash pro for the 09 and up Fits. I'm running a lighter flywheel which sends misfire codes to the computer. Wouldn't mind changing some other parameters also.

 

i was told flat out that there isn't one in the pipeline.

I think the only way this will happen is if there's a kickstarter campaign and people front the damn money. if we approached hondata with 100 orders at 500/each, that'd be a different story.

 

If that were the case I'd put my $500 down as long as the wait isn't extremely long. (9 mos+)

 

Its not going to happen with the new chassis coming out. Hondata looks at it this way, first its too late in the game. Second $600 for the flash pro plus a $300 tune... There are other tuning methods that are cheaper ot for the same price that will suit the needs of the Fit tuner. I personally have on order the Apexi VAFC for my bolt ons.

 

to be honest that depends entirely on what the new chassis has for an ecu. if it's also can-bus (it will be) and the architecture is the same and it's just a matter of programming, it helps. if it's a whole new ecu, we're fucked.

 

Its almost positive to be a CAN system, but the ecu architecture (brand) for model to model changes. It is most positively going to change with the new chassis. They give the contract to the lowest bidder.

This wishful thinking reminds me in 2002 when the Nissan SE-R SpecV guys thought: "it was any moment that Jim Wolf was going to come out with an ECU" for their cars. 11 years and two chassis later... still nothing.

Its nice to have a tuner that can put the car back to stock at any moment. Its even worth the extra money in my opinion. I'm not trying to be a naysayer, what I've seen in tuning through the years it doesn't look promising.

 

The GD owners didn't get their Flashpro until several years after the new chassis (GE8) came out. Also, the GD was really only available for ~2.5yrs. Wasn't the ('06?) TSX also in the same situation where Flashpro came out a few yrs after the new model transitioned?


With 5+ years of sales of the GE8 (by the time the new chassis comes out), and as prices on used ones dropping as time passes, Flashpro is a possibility.

 

I also believe the new Fit will be a new ballgame as far as the ECU goes.

They're completely capable of creating Flashpro for the Fit, they did the CRZ. Not sure what's stopping them, they'd be first to market, and it's not like it's flooded with competition. Overseas sales would probably top US sales; seems like they have money to burn

At this point i'd be happy with a locally available reflash that bumps performance a little, raises redline a tad, shortens fuel cut duration at limiter and gets rid of the little annoyances that come standard with the Fit so I don't have to overnight parts to Japan.

 

The flash pro for the GD came out in 2012. We will see. Im surprised and disappointed that Hondata wouldn't jump on these asap the way Cobb, Jim Wolf and other tuners do. Cobb cant get their hands on the new WRX fast enough.
