What Difference Does a Reflash Make to my Accord Euro R?

[@bubbles4136]

More VTEC, just lovely. Gotta love the Honda reflash.

[@KiwiCarLife]

Yuuurs

[@craveboost24]

@KiwiCarLife hey first I want to say love the videos! Secondly I want NZ kflash to tune my cl9,I see that they do tuning no matter location,but was wondering what's the best route for getting it done being a live in the U.S. ? Thanks

[@noobbird34yt23]

I gotta admit getting the reflash on my accord last week was the best decision I’ve made for that thing since buying it truely changed the car and now I can beat a 330i

[@KiwiCarLife]

Yep! 2.0L vs 3.0L, Honda wins!

[@cozifpv2069]

I live in the UK and I had a ep3 type r what doesn't come with an lsd. Then I got a fn2 championship white edition what comes with the lsd and cornering difference was insane. It was the difference between understeering into a bush and being slingshoted around the corner.

[@KiwiCarLife]

Oh absolutely aye. I wasn't a believer in the LSD but after owning this I sure am now

[@carolusdero6663]

I remember my CTR fn2 felt like a completely different car after flash. So much more usable power and vtec fun without having to go all the way. Should have been from factory like this. If you have a k20 and drive stock ecu, this is your wake-up call "get it done, you will not be disappointed!"

[@ilikecheezzz]

Great video as always. It would be interesting to compare the difference between the performance of this tune to the one you can get from Spoon. I think the only difference is Spoons tune is 5000 VTEC engagement, with a raised 8800 RPM. Im still trying to decide which tune I want for my CL7R 🤔

[@KiwiCarLife]

Either or will be good I'd say

How's the oil consumption on your Accord, I have K24A3 and i gotta tell you mine loves eating oil more than anything after the flash and new 4-2-1 custom exhaust manifold.

[@KiwiCarLife]

As Hondas get older they like to burn oil. Mine isn't too bad

[@AndreiChirca]

how much does your car burn? My accord burns 1l at every 3000km, total 0w30. I will change to elf sxr 5w40, let's then.

[@stefankasev977]

@@AndreiChirca Yeah mines about same too. It depends on the way i drive it. If i drive it over 3k rpms it consumes more. But I drive it with 5w-40 oil. And i always have more in the trunk😄. Mine's about 210 000km so i think it's pretty normal because the previous owner was driving it mad.

[@ok-fo5db]

​@@stefankasev977 i had a CL9 that burnt almost a whole dipstick of oil during 1 pull. better oil and rvs treatment got rid of the problem

[@KiwiCarLife]

Yes HAHAH

[@DulceSeeker]

Are the ratios closer to each other now? I noticed that at the 2nd 0-100 you went just below 100 and had to shift compared to 1st run where you went over 100 on 2nd gear

Nah same gears

Is kflash Honda only or is it open brand?

[@summit4x480]

I have a 2012 CU2 with the K24Z3 engine. So far, i havent found any option for aftermarket ECU's or reflash compatibility. Anyone know of a solution?

[@KiwiCarLife]

KFlash can tune the CU2

[@summit4x480]

@@KiwiCarLife Apparently it’s not possible on the 2012 model. It needs a 2009 ECU to be swapped in and flashed for the immobiliser. But then you loose the Canbus. So steering wheel controls, radio features etc

In your opinion is the k flash tune still worth getting for an automatic? Specifically a cl9

[@KiwiCarLife]

Yeah for sure man. Cl9's and cl7's pick up the most gains from the tune

[@AndreiChirca]

If it is automatic, you can also mod the transmission, and will be a lot faster.

[@skasdad1385]

Hey i was wondering about the header you got for the cl9 how long have you run it and what's your longterm opinion I have an 08 tsx and can't justify the cost for a toda header 😑

[@KiwiCarLife]

Plm header was good, made power and held together alright. Just have to keep tightening the bolts every now and then

[@AndreiChirca]

Serge headers are really good, but the k24a2 found on tsx it has better camshafts thand the a3 found in Europe, if you got a reflash for your car, will be a beast.

@@KiwiCarLife well fn2 has k20 and DBW. Some k24 for jdm market kave k24 with cable tb. That is why CL9 cars have cutout for cable TB on the manifolds even that they don't have cable tb. Honda designed one manifold to be used for DBW and Cable tb

[@CL9k24a3]

@@Esdru221euroR has much faster CMC than cl9 and 5.4kg lighter fly wheel than cl9. That is main part where you extract throttle response.

[@Esdru221]

@@CL9k24a3 yeah, I know but that is not the problem... The car pulls strong and throttle response is very nice. I want more, of course, but understanding the limitations of my almost stock engine (only reflash and intake) it actually have a very nice punch. The problem is that is not always the same response like in a throttle cable. Like 10-20% of times, the car responses laggy, like if it would be a turbo engine, especially when you floor it. If you are refined driving, almost always response like it should, but it piss me of when you want to be a little hooligan and the car seems is having an asma attack for a moment . It really feels like an ecu/inyection thing
