I'm going to be purchasing a 2005 RSX Type S within the next couple of weeks. I like the 210hp but the 142 ftlbs of torque is kind of weak. I think the easiest, and most cost effective, way to improve this is with a chip. I'm not looking for some $20 Ebay special here. I want something real, something effective. I can't find much info on the net. I'm looking for information such as how much more performance you got, place of purchase, ease of installation, name of chip (obvious huh?), etc. Thanks a bunch.

no if's and's or but's about it. i dont know if they have anything for the 05's yet.

 

hondata reflash for 05's is not yet possible. The current solution is to get hondatas adpater harness and an 02-04 ECU + o2 sensor . which ends up costing around $1800.

Reflash according to hondata could be a year away.

 

i beleive hondata is now offering an ECU for the 05 for about $1300.

bang for your buck get a CAI.

 

Change the whole ECU don't do chipping

 

To what?

 

the hondata, its the only one available now. there is no chip available. the older model rsx's can have their ECUs reflashed to the better tune but we with 05s still do not have that option and may never.
