for those that dont already know- Hondata
Such a beautiful pic, I had to quote it again.... what a sight, the Hondata box with "US Fit 2007+" on it.
Enjoy it & have fun!
Can't wait till they come out with the GE version... if ever.

You have less displacement, different ignition system, Factory DMEs may not support US OBD2 .. I would put money down that the EUDM ECU is different to begin with.. so it's highly unlikely this is going to work for you.
Feel free to give Hondata a call to clarify though.

When it happens, the car is going to the most reputable local(ish) shop: BlackTrax - Dynotuning to be dyno'd on a Dynapack 3000. I should be able to have plenty of pretty graphs from the data 
Humidity
Temp
???
I am doing my best to document EVERYTHING for the sake of the community
Oh, and I just noticed that my serial # ends in "0000" ... did I get the first one?!
ESPECIALLY after buying this I need the $$$
You should really check out etunez.com to get your fit tuned. Its cheaper and you tune at your own pace.

OK, getting some preliminary responses back from my tuner. I am really waiting to see the data before I comment though.

The above article is the ONLY published side by side dyno information that I have ever seen for a GD Fit. They also used the exact same exhaust as mine
Just want to make sure people have realistic expectations for what they are going to see from the standard "bolt on's" and a tune

Well good news everyone!
Tyler's base tune and dyno runs are in!
Feast your eyes on this:
Yes, that is an 11whp bump from an extremely rudimentary tune!
"So what?" you say "For $600+ I only get 11whp?
Lets put that in perspective.. that is a 12.4% gain in power from merely adjusting the fuel trims and NOTHING ELSE
Compared to the T1R turbo kit, for example that is a better dollar/whp ratio.
A&J Racing :: Engine :: Turbo :: T1R Type-S Turbo Kit - Honda Fit/Jazz 06-08 (GD3/GD4) (USDM)
T1R 145whp @ 4.5psi = 62.9% increase over stock for a 5MT GD3
FlashPro Base Tune = 12.4% increase
Now lets look at this in terms of "bang for your buck" ... The T1R turbo kit makes 5 times the power, but 7 times the cost.

Where they spent $1050 for 9whp? And what they don't mention in the article is how the gains get pulled back into the fold by the stock ECU when left to make up its own mind.
Very few opportunities like this in the tuning world, especially on such a small displacement motor, that is so well optimized from the factory to begin with.
Now this shop and their tuner, who shall remain nameless, was not the shop he initially intended to go to.
They dropped VTEC activation too low (~2500rpm) which is why there are two dips early in the rev range and they leaned it out a bit too far, almost 13.7:1 AFR under full load in a couple spots. No knock was detected, and no knock retard was shown in the calibration so it is a safe tune, but not ideal.
Meaning that there is still more to be had.
Updates to come.
When I said, that like ECMLink for DSMs, VAGCom for VWs, Pro EFI/FAST for the V8 folks.. this should be the first proper mod you do for your Fit.
Otherwise all that money you would spend on I/H/E is for nothing because the ECU will adapt to it and bring your power back down.
FlashPro makes it permanent, and then when its time for emissions, you can revert back to your stock maps and have all your monitors ready to go.
This is a giant leap forward.
