FL5 Packages and ECU Solutions

FL5 REMAPPING!

The FL5 has been available in the UK from early 2023 where we received our first car and within days we had gained access to the ECU and started development of custom remapping.

There are 2 solutions for remapping these cars.

Direct to ECU is the most cost effective and doesn’t require any special hardware but is fixed in that you can’t alter/remotely support or remove the tune if you want to later but we can edit and revert to stock if required and is available for all year cars.

We are able to offer FULL CUSTOM remapping to the stock ECU without the necessity of Jailbreaking the ECU and buying a costly Hondata interface.

As well as all the normal benefits you see with remapping and ability to run effectively 3 different power maps with the 3 setting modes we can also alter rev and launch limiters, soft or hard limiter cuts and bring it alive for those wanting a little burble on the over-run.

We are also able to create full backup reads from the point the car comes to us of the ECU as well as having the ability to "Clone" the ECU if a duplicate is required

Remapping still retains full functionality of all OEM systems and can still read any check codes and diagnostic functions through the OBD Diagnostics port

Mapping with Hondata is available to all cars but due to extra securities added to stop access to write to the ECU via the OBD port for cars delivered from late 2024 more work is needed to communicate with the ECU and the extra work is reflected in the slightly higher remapping cost.

Hondata is custom remapping again done on the dyno but you are also getting the Hondata interface module which is quite costly and requires jailbreaking the ECU to allow it to work which we carry out on-site prior to mapping.

Hondata supplied setup and custom mapped with jailbreaking:

With Hondata you have the ability to also revert to stock, unlock the modules and sell them on so when you factor in that you will get most of the money back on the unit the costs don’t seem as bad.

With Hondata the modules are also fixed to car type so will only be able to sell to FK8 or FL5 owners so quite limited compared to Ktuner on the older FK8s which would be compatible with any Ktuner supported car.
Hondata does also allow remote support with logging and ability for end user to upload the maps but remote Jail-breaking isn't possible without sending the ECU in to us

Happy to map a car that owner supplies a Hondata and car will still need jailbreaking and mapping only but you must ensure the module has been removed and unlocked from previous car and I know there are a lot of these modules about people haven’t unlocked just mapped their car and tried to sell them and unfortunately if they aren’t unlocked they are un-usable

Hope this explains options and any questions just ask
