Wanted to share my experience with getting a tune with Javier as well.
I'm in Canada and had the opportunity to get the ECU unlocked by Hondata's team that had an almost impromptu trip to Toronto.
I was not very satisfied with the power curve with the Hondata 93 octane base tune. It was fun, a...
Hondata came up to Canada this weekend (Thornhill) and I couldn't say no to a 50min drive and 20 min session. Down side is they weren't offering discounts at all, but I mainly didn't want to ship my ECU across the boarder.
Running 93 base map with PRL HVI, PRL intercooler, and HPS charge pipe...
Clearing code worked for me as well. Did not need to disconnect battery. Mine was related to stored code from when I forgot to plug in the sensor after removing intake.
I did the battery disconnect this morning. Have driven 15km so just under 10miles and definitely had one opportunity for it to get warm enough. Still hasn't come back yet. Ordered a basic OBD scanner and hoping it is good enough. Will keep driving until I receive it and see if it returns without...
I had zero issues with HVI until I made my own screw up of not plugging the sensor in. Prior to that, drove without issues and just fun for at least 1000km and a few hundred km after charge pipes. Waiting to see if battery reset helps today
So I've been dealing with lost pops and burbles for a few days. It all started with a popped charge pipe. I have to say that HPS fitment is not anywhere close as accurate as PRL stuff.
Anyway, pops and burbles were fine after I popped it back temporarily to get home and there was no CEL. After...
Turns out, it's not that tight. I just wiggled it really hard while turning it back and forth and it came off. I looked at AHC Garage video of the install and it looked like they didn't have this issue. I didn't want to cut it off cus it would spray metal shards in the engine bay that could rust...
Hahaha. Sadly I'm using my sick days cus I'm actually currently sick. Will need to find other time!
Meanwhile, got confirmation from PRL that initial production units have shipped...
Just checked UPS and looks like they picked up the package last night and I have an ETA for tomorrow!!! 😬🤞
I'm also expecting HPS charge pipe (black came in stock for a bit last week) which looks to have shipped too. Now need to find time to get them all in there.
Just got notification from PRL with shipping label created for the HVI. Intercooler took two days to deliver to Canada after label creation.
Hope this is really happening and not just going to sit around for a month with no updates.
So just FYI. I contacted PRL to try my luck. I sent the support request on Friday Feb 23 and received a response on Feb 26 saying that they'll refund me $120 on the radiator along with a separate email notifying me of the refund. This is a good sign. Fingers crossed that it continues and all the...
Just saw this thread. I've been having this problem coming out of some parking lots. Every time I'm worried it's the bottom of the front bumper but so far it's this lip. This is the only thing holding me back from lowering the car. If I lower it, I feel like I'd just scrape the bumper instead...
Has been good. We haven't had much serious winter up here this year so I can't tell how it does when it reaches -20C to -30C. I did use zip ties that I knew did well in winter on a previous car. I'd say make sure to use good zip ties because I've seen some terrible ones that breaks easily...
Hopefully then my PRL preorder and their claim of shipping around April 15 will work out. I did get the order in about a minute after it showed up on their site. Hoping that they're gonna at least process in order.
Definitely agree that they'll likely want to not piss off their biggest business...
So I was doing the pre-order of the HVI yesterday and wanted to get the intercooler in the same order. I was debating black on black too and did some very quick research.
Sounds like if it's just painted black, most likely it would be at least very slightly detrimental to cooling or very bad...
A lot of throttle delay these days is programmed in to make driving comfortable I think. Even my buddy's Evo X had an annoying level of throttle delay which was mostly removed with a tune. This car's comfort mode is probably representative of a very well tuned smooth and gradual increase in...
Any reason to order through two step? Just a preference? I've been out of the loop until this car
I ordered directly from PRL yesterday 11 min after 11 CST. Pre order opened up late by 10min. They estimate shipping Apr 15. Seems you can still preorder. I just wanted to get my order in as early...
