FAQ's

1. What is a REFLASH?

1. 1. • • • It' a reprogram of the existing ECU's operating parameters, it changes what engine computer tells the engine to do.

2. How is it done?

1. 1. • Contact us on Facebook or Email us accordeuroreflash@gmail.com 

        • • • 1. 1. Once a spot is available an email will be sent to you advising you.

                 2. Once date is set, print out the Reflash Form and Liability Waiver HERE, fill out form and sign/date.

                 3. Comes to me to reflash on site at the booked date and time.

          • Reflash takes approx. 1 hour onsite in Melbourne.

3. What does the reflash tune/remap change?

• From the factory stock tune, the reflash changes the following:

  • • VTEC switch over point (lowered to 4800RPM depending on throttle and oil pressure, 5600RPM for CL7 EuroR)

    • Redline (increased to 7800RPM for CL9, 7600RPM for CU2, 9000RPM for CL7 EuroR),  increase your VTEC window!

    • Cam advance

    • Throttle mapping (no more lag)

    • Ignition timing 

    • Fuel map (improved fuel consumption)

4. Additional features for the reflash:

• Launch Control (Manual only)

• Secondary O2 delete (for decat/high flow cat)

• Retains all factory functions like Cruise Control, Traction Control/VSA etc.

5. How much does reflash cost ($)?

• Reflash cost ~$400

6. What about supporting mods (like Cold Air Intake/Exhaust)?

• Although not compulsory, the reflash works very well with likes of cold air intake, header and high flow cat to maximise gains.

• You can add supporting mods before or after the reflash, it will adapt.

7. Any Dynos/Videos of the reflashed cars (How much gain)?

• • • Reflash is more focused on mid and low range torque and response (daily usable power/torque).

8. Which petrol to use and how's fuel consumption?

• • • The tune is based on 95 octane to save you money, however you can use 98 octane with minor benefits if you wish

    • Given the torque bump down low and mid range, it is possible to do most of the daily driving @lower RPM, it should give around a 5% improvement in consumption (especially on highway). 

      • • • Of course if you drive hard and hit VTEC off each stop, then fuel consumption will reflect that.

9. Do I need a TSX/CR-V/Wide body Accord ECU like other tuning solutions?

• • • NO, reflash will be on the native Australian Honda ECU's for CL9/CU2 Accord Euro, as well as JDM CL7 Accord EURO-R

    • Your OWN ECU will be used, which is the whole point

    • No need to match your immobilizer again, saving you money (overall making this the cheapest and least compromising 'tune')

10. Do you offer custom tuning or stage 2? 

• Coming SOON, so yes.

11. What do I need to do to prepare my car for reflash?

• • • Check service history, make sure your car was not neglected, this is especially applicable for older cars with 200k KM+ mileage.

    • Check when the last time all the filters were replaced (air/fuel/oil/automatic transmission), especially fuel filter service which tend to be skipped and missed.  

    • Clean your throttle body (or better yet clean the entire upper engine if you have access to upper engine cleaners or similar)

    • Make sure all your sensors and fuel pump is in good working order
      -Key engine electronic sensors such as O2 sensor and knock sensor have a limited lifespan
