Hondata Tour Jailbreaking the DE5

[ABPDE5]

How do you explain it though? "Uh, I seem to have lost my ECU."

You don't need to, theoretically.

Just order an ECU from a wholesale parts seller.

(I haven't done it myself.)

Correct with the right tools they can tell. Worse case Honda might request to get the ECU shipped to them for further analysis.

Anyway you can just buy a spare ECU and clone it. Then use the spare one as your hondata ECU leaving the stock ECU untouched. If for any reason you need to go to the dealer for anything, just swap them and play dumb.

Here is a link of one of the Hondata Service providers options about ECU cloning.

This is actually a good idea.

So when’s the fallow up video on your thoughts on the hondata reflash ?

Haha saw this comment so tried to push out the video out for you!
Been busy installing my PRL HVI Intake today, along with my Phearable Tune withthe intake in mind.

I'll go over my favorite part for me.
The more aggressive pops and bangs! In the video I have it at the most aggressive setting "Stage 2". The next day, I went and flashed it with the the stage 1 pops and i think it's perfect. Not overly annoying and wasteful in gas but still got some kick in the pops.

Some other things that I really like is the hondata traction control is way better. Who would of thought this i a feature I would really enjoy.

Shifting is nicer and more direct because it doesn't have rev hang anymore.

The 35~ hp increase is nice, and noticeable but nothing too crazy. You will feel it in the midrange and in 3rd+ gear.

Sweet thanks, so when you say traction control is better ? Like there is less traction control? Like you push the traction button and more things are turned off more like the type R?

Hondata allows tuners to adjust the traction control. Pherable tune has different maps that you can select from using the cruise control buttons. Each one changes the amount of traction control.

I can't really explain it as well as Phearable. I can tell you it doesn't cut power in a weird way to get traction and the car just hooks up more. I feel more confident and trust the system more.

Multi tunes levels:
1 - Street1 - Base street settings with limited slip allowed. Designed for optimal traction.
2 - Street2 - More aggressive first and second gear than Street1 with more slip allowed.
3 - Race1 - More aggressive first, second and third gear than Street1 & Street2 with more slip and launch control slip allowed.
4 - Race2 - More aggressive first and second gear than all, traction control almost nonexistent and more launch control slip allowed.
5 - Valet - 5 - Less power output in all gears.

Hondata Traction Control:
Hondata's traction control is enabled by default when cruise main is turned off.
Hondata's traction control works by retarding ignition timing and using throttle plate closure to regain traction once the
traction slip has exceeded the slip target.
When using Hondata's traction control the ecu will close the throttle if it experiences too much wheel spin.
If you turn cruise main on, the factory VSA will be enabled.

That’s wild. Ok I’m in. I’ll sign up for the austin one. All that sounds like stuff my its “needs”

Anyone know if Hondata offers cloning? I’d love to take a spare ecu to the jailbreak event and have it cloned and unlocked.

Yep. Hondata can copy it to the new ECU

 

[jreeder]

would love to see a saint louis stop,

I have messaged them on IG to ask for the Vegas stop and nobody has got back to me...need a clone ECU too but waiting for them to confirm if they can do it and what they charge.

 

[notorious9i6]

They are terrible at responding on ig and fb. Best to call their location.

They will be in vegas April 7th. I just googled Hondata jailbreaking tour. That was about two weeks ago, but now it's also up on their Instagram page.

We do not clone ECU's. Only jailbreak original ECU.
