Bet you can't wait man.

Yes I've been busy and have come back from TDI with Flashpro!! just to clarify I've had the Group N map installed which is the same as the old Hondata ECU which has done the rounds. I got Paul at TDI to fit it for me and watching him made it look so easy, installation if you know what you are doing can take a matter of minutes. Simple -
Buy Flashpro
Connect to computer
Download Group N Map from hondata
Load to Flashpro device
Plug Flashpro into OBD port in car, which is located under steering wheel
Load from Flashpro to car
Unplug Flashpro store somewhere (no the car doesnt need it anymore!!!)
Vtec 3,800, rev limit 8,600 & launch control awaits!
The Vtec window is brilliant, 70mph in 6th gear is a breeze now with no changeups needed! Ive found that my economy has gone up 20% because instead of revving to 8,000rpm I just vtec at 3,800rpm then change before original vtec, the pace of the car is plenty at this rpm. The 8,600 rev limit allows 60mph in second gear which for stat whores means faster 0-60mph.
Talking about 0-60, this stat I think is the most improved out of all coming from the device. Now in first from 0 just get to 3,500rpm and the car FIRES you out like a Rocket (note capital usage), not forgetting launch control which I havent really tested yet but Im sure is a worthwhile addition.
DBW seems to have dissappeared now, before you would have a slight hesitation if you floor the car, especially low in the rev range. Now its really pick up and go. The cars feel has transformed.
Surely you wouldn't be casually cruising with the revs at 3800 anyway? If you're up that high, generally you're trying to shift along pretty sharpish.
So you have bought this, but you are having a remap done anyway?
Not 100% sure what you mean bud?
With the FN2 you basically have two options, a replacement ecu or the Flashpro to reflash the standard ecu.
I've bought the Flashpro which comes with several standard maps, one of which is the Group N map which confusingly you can also buy on a replacement standalone ecu.
I've used the Flashpro module to reflash my car's existing ecu with the Group N map. TDi will then use the same Flashpro module to map my car just like you would with a Kpro only that the map is copied from the module onto the car's ecu and you unplug the Flashpro when it's all done!
So I needed this Flashpro module to get it mapped by TDi anyway. :smt023
I've used sumo power before and had to wait. I think they just buy stuff from japan when you order
Looking forward to seeing the results. You still running a stock mani, or is that part of the exhaust system you're buying too?
I'm hoping I will settle down for a bit after this, though I've got some springs in mind.... it never ends.
Never heard of this one. - where does it get the clean cool air from?
Taken for a spin yet?
Yeah whats it like in terms of power and how does it sound?? Looks awesome though!
Did you manage to get a video of her girlfriends?
Or did I intentially misread that.
I am not too sure on the cold air situation. Yes there is a piece of plastic going from the outside, to about 6 inches awat from the filter, but it does look a bit... blocked?
Maybe just my mechanical breathing incompetence.
