Once again you're showing your ignorance on the 06+ SI. Stop because all your doing is speaking on what you know nothing of.
You think this new civic is tuneable with Kpro and whatnot just like the RSX-S and past civics. IT'S NOT. There is NO tuning (other than Greddy emanage right now). WTF else was the shop going to use to tune besides the Apex'i VAFC? Please, tell me since you seem so knowledgeable. There was ZERO tuning available at that time, now we have the piggy-back emanage system from Greddy. Please, speak what you know of, and nothing else.
AEM EMS? A real shop that actually tunes cars would use a real management system to tune a car, and not rely on something like a VAFC, like I've been saying. And the Greddy unit isn't all that swell either, but I'm sure you knew that from all your vast knowledge of Hondas.
Now I'd like an explanation on how Hondata doesn't "remove the VTEC dip but hides it". That makes NO sense. What they did was exactly what I said they did and what you contested me on - they smoothed it out (exactly how you put it) instead of letting the power drop down like honda did. Once again.. are you dumb, do you not know how to read, or do you just like arguing? All you did was restate exactly what I said (they removed the power loss before VTEC, which you argued against and then restated a minute later).
Very easily. They do the same thing that companies like TME and iPd do. They smooth it out to get the most driveable result while still increasing performance. If you look at TME reflashes on European cars, they generally do not make the most power compared to some of their competitors, yet they are still favored. Why? Because they have the smoothest power delivery. There aren't any sharp bumps from something like the engagement of a variable valve timing system. Hondata, had they gone strictly from the highest HP number, would still show a hump in power during VTEC engagement.
Again, are you retarded or do you just like to argue/make up dumb s*** to cause crap? I am paying for the Si in full. There is no money coming from my parents. I'm not getting the opinions that I want? Please, if you think ANYTHING you have to say regarding cars would influence me on any choice I make in life, you flatter yourself. I've read nothing but garbage from you so far.
Nope, not retarded. And I'm not resorting to childish insults to get my point across. It would be swell if you could do the same. Your parents ARE helping you. As you said, they bought the car, and you are paying them, so you can save money on interest. Little do you know, that this doesn't help you at all. You are not building any credit. So when you do decide to go buy a car yourself, you're going to have a tougher time getting financing unless you can drop some serious cash down.
I really don't mind if you say you don't listen to me. But you've degraded yourself into petty insults, so you obviously have listened enough to get all upset about it. That's satisfaction enough for me. You say it's nothing but garbage, yet you still repeatedly try and come back with random tidbits of "information" to try and convince me you know what you're talking about.
Board didn't take my last edit for some reason. But anyway, you seem like a decent kid. You're devoted and enthusiastic about cars, which is great. You just have to learn a little humility and understand you can't always be right. So, until then, keep your chin up. Just be careful who you attack. You never do know when you might run into someone who truly knows more than you do. I'll be the first to admit I don't know everything about cars. There's lots I don't know. And if I don't know something on here, I keep my mouth shut. So have a good day anyway, even if you think I'm retarded for some reason.
