- Hondata reflash? I thought that was only for the M/T kits that were going high boost. Did I miss something here or is this now an option for us A/T guys as well?

- Lightweight Pulley. Judging by the other thread...oh boy! I have one on my naturally aspirated car now but if the boss at Kraftwerks says don't use it I'm gonna follow his advice.

i agree, i'd like some light on all this too!

the hondata was originally ONLY for the highboost, but when it was said that a new hondata upgrade and injector package was coming out for base kits still running 5psi, it just struck me that maybe it would make it for our cars too.

it proably wont though, as the question hasn't been full on addressed, and the tuning for the ecu would have to be different for the auto i suppose.

Smaller S/c for a/t = more low end power.

NO........ The safety systems built into the transmission will prevent any damage BUT if you keep doing it a high speeds the wear on your transmission will increase at an exponential rate.

Bingo. Its not "good" for your trans, but when it comes down to it, it was MADE to do it. If it could immediately damage something, you wouldnt be able to do it...

34 more days!!! lol.. don't worry, i won't do this everyday til i get to the KW building lol.

Any updates on either the highboost kit or Hondata Reflash release?

Also, since I am picking this up in LA while i'm on vacation, will I have to pay the local tax? 8.?% Will I get this amount back? I know when I cross the border going back into Canada that they will charge me Government Sales Tax (5%), and probably some customs or duty...
