i have a 08 SI and was wondering if a reflash is really worth the money? had anyone done it? any tips? regrets?

If your not already a member become a member of 8thcivic.com and read up on peoples reviews there. Plenty of members have done the reflash.

My personal take on the reflash...Your only going to see benefits if you have the supporting mods to go with it (ie. header, exhaust, and/or intake). If your car is still stock, it will not help at all and if anything you will see negative effects on a stock Si. It doesn't provide a huge horsepower gain but it does noticeably smooth out your powerband and increase power up top by adjusting your vtec engagement point and rev limiter.

Vince@R/TTuning · 07-07-2008, 03:30 PM

as of right now...boosting is not the way to go wit the new SI's.

like said before check out 8thcivic...they will be much more helpful than posting here

TunedIS300 · 07-07-2008, 10:50 PM

yea i do go on 8thcivic but it has soo amny treads it too confusing for me if u pass by a tread that has info PM me the link it would be helpful thanks

07NHBPCivicSi · 07-08-2008, 03:12 PM

i hear you 8th gen's forums suck, and so does there search feature, and Honda tech sucks too for our cars. all i can tell you is the only way you can truly boost safely is to convert to rsx ecu, which as you know takes alot of work. so i am hope hondata decdides to come out with tunning software for our cars, but it doesent look to good

TunedIS300 · 07-08-2008, 04:49 PM

yea both of the forums are pointless

Hondata Reflash for the 06-08 Si's works. Not a big fan, but it works better than stock with the supporting mods.
