26 Jun Hondata Reflash for 10th Gen Civic
Hondata reflash to get the party started.
By Aaron Gaghagen
The 10th generation Honda Civic is popular. It’s outselling all of its competitors. It has shown itself to be quicker than its USDM predecessors and have better standard options too. The reception by enthusiasts has been predictably cold. There’s no manual transmission yet and it is more expensive than ever. Perhaps that’s a result of being benchmarked against offerings from Mercedes Benz and Audi or Honda’s desire to advance the breed.
The good thing for enthusiasts is that, in typical Honda fashion, Honda engineers left much room for improving performance on the table. That brings us to Hondata, the company that cracked the tuning potential of Honda through it’s computer with products such as S300, K-Pro and FlashPro. It appears that Hondata has done it again, this time for the newest generation 1.5 liter Honda Civic. The Hondata Reflash is currently for the Civic coupe and sedan equipped with the 1.5L turbo engine.
Honda Reflash Highlights include:
- Turbo spooled 500 rpm earlier
- 20-28 hp increase from 4500 rpm to 6000 rpm
- 4 to 6 psi boost increase from 3000 rpm to 6000 rpm
- Fuel and ignition optimized
- Partial throttle fuel economy unchanged
- 91 octane tuned (It will run on 87 octane with a reduction in performance. They recommend 91-93 octane.)
The Hondata Reflash for the 2016 turbo Honda Civic is now currently available at $295 through authorized Hondata dealers.
