That's rubbish mate! The Hondata motherboard is installed to allow the parameters to be changed, otherwise they are 'fixed'.LewisK20 said:I was reading an article earlier on Civinfo that claims you don't need Hondata for a remap. I have no knowledge at all on how you tune or map an ECU but it also says that Hondata will only allow the tuner to change certain parts of the OEM map and that if you remap the stock ECU without Hondata you can access many more features. I'll post a link below, defiantly worth having a link about imo.

Remap made a massive difference to mine was very pleased with the outcome (albeit I'm not running Hondata so can only comment for a wire in ECU)Yeh I have an exhaust, intake and mani so hoping for a big difference exciting times!!!
