2006-2011 Civic 1.8 AFM based calibrations

• Rev and launch limiters.
• Speedometer adjustment.
• Readiness and Diagnostic trouble codes.
• Idle Speed adjustment
• Map tracing  & lambda overlay.
• Secondary intake runner RPM switching and disabling.
• Advanced Graphing.
• Starting calibrations for common intakes and injectors.

Will this work on non USA Civics?
This release is for R18 manual and automatic transmission Civics sold in the US. It will not work on Canadian Civics or any Civic sold outside the USA.

Can it eliminate the second o2 sensor?
Yes. The secondary oxygen sensor is used to monitor the catalytic converter efficiency and assist with closed loop operation. For off road racing use in which a catalytic converter is not desirable, the secondary oxygen sensor can be disabled using the FlashProManager software without any negative affect on the tuning or operation of the car.

Every map listed here has been comprehensively tuned for fuel and ignition for both part and full throttle. Listed here are dyno plots of most of the base maps provided with the FlashPro in PDF format. The tests give a good indication of the gains to be had from various bolt-ons.

All intake maps include adjustments to the Air Flow Meter data to achieve optimal part and full throttle air fuel ratios. No intake we tested gave the same air fuel ratio as stock. 

Base maps are included for a variety of injector sizes to support high HP NA cars and forced induction.

Maps for injectors:

• 185cc - Stock
• 310cc - RSX S / Civic Si (plug in replacement)
• 410cc - Acura RDX
• 520cc - Modified Honda Civic
• 440cc - RC
• 650cc - RC

The Acura RDX injectors, for example should provide enough fuel to double the stock engine HP with forced induction. We highly recommend a return line fuel system for forced induction with power levels around 300hp.

The dyno plot here indicates the gains you might see with a supercharger kit. Green line stock. Red dotted line 4 psi, red line 7 psi. These dyno tests were run with a stock cat-back which restricted power.

We've put together a series of training videos to describe the function and use of the FlashPro. View the videos in High Definition Full Screen to view the screen shots.

FlashPro Introduction

Hondata's new generation programming tool for the 06 - 09 US Civic Si, the Japanese 06-09 Civic Type R and the European 07-09 Civic Type R. A brief introduction.

FlashPro getting started

This video covers the installation the FlashPro Manager software, the USB drivers, software registration and upload of a calibration.

Live Tuning

One of the latest features added to FlashPro, live tuning gives you the ability to tune your Honda or Acura on the fly without switching off the engine. Live tuning simplifies part throttle tuning and significantly reduces the time and cost of tuning your car.

Race Calibration

Hondata has developed a Race calibration which allows you to tune with the MAP sensor and bypass the limitations of the AFM sensor. A look at the tuning principles for forced induction on a modern return-less fuel system.

Datalogging and Air fuel ratios

A look a the extensive datalogging capabilities of the FlashPro and the many ways in which to examine your engine data. We touch on the datalogging of the air fuel ratios and how you can use it to adjust your tuning.

The FlashPro uses software called FlashProManager for tuning & datalogging.

Online help is available.

How do I tell if my FlashPro supports Bluetooth?

From July 2013 some FlashPros shipped from Hondata including Bluetooth.

From Jan 1 2014, all FlashPros shipped from Hondata include Bluetooth.

FlashPros sold before the dates in the table below do not support Bluetooth. To confirm if your FlashPro supports Bluetooth follow this procedure:

• Launch FlashPro Manager
• Plug in the FlashPro to your USB port.
• Press the FlashPro button, tab, then hardware.
• If Bluetooth is present, Yes will be indicated.
• If you do not see 'Bluetooth present' at all, then you are using an older version of FlashProManager and need to update.  This does not mean that you don't have a FlashPro with a Bluetooth radio.
• If 'Bluetooth present' is No, your FlashPro does not have Bluetooth. You may upgrade your FlashPro is you wish.

Civic Si FlashPro owner feedback

We got an improvement of +85% on peak power/torque with an astounding improvement of over +100% in power/torque  - Mo Choudhury, Swift Racing technologies

I don't think you truly understand the greatness that is the Hondata FlashPro until you've tried boosting without it. The car drives BETTER than my friends Mazdaspeed6 - Soxfan143

I am so exhilarated at the moment. For those of you who have been on the sidelines deciding if you should do it or not, DO IT! Do it NOW! What are you waiting for? - NitrousG35

My car feels like it just lost the flu. - UnlimitedSi

Car feels amazing... someone mentioned that it felt like the car didn't have the flu anymore. I'd say it's more like the black plague. - SIporfavor

The car drives soooooooo smooooooth. Thanks Hondata for saving my baby. - ryanmcm83

FlashPro reviews

What is a CARB FlashPro?
A CARB FlashPro is a FlashPro which only allows uploads from calibrations which are determined to not alter the any emissions related parameters in the ECU.

What does CARB stand for?
Not carburetor.  'CARB' is the common term for the California Air Resources Board, who are responsible for determining if calibrations could affect emissions.

Why should I use the CARB FlashPro?
Within the USA you must use the CARB FlashPro for any emissions controlled vehicle.

But I don't live in California / my state does not do emissions tests.
It does not matter - the concept of '49 state legal' is not longer valid.  Under the federal Clean Air Act administered by the EPA it is not legal to change any emissions equipment (including the ECU) on any emissions controlled vehicle.  There is no mechanism to prove to the EPA that an ECU modification does not affect emissions, but the EPA will accept the California Air Resources Board approval. Hence California legal modifications are also federally legal.

What if I sell by vehicle and wish to use the FlashPro on a competition vehicle?
The CARB FlashPro cannot be changed into a Race FlashPro.  Sell the CARB FlashPro and purchase a Race FlashPro.

Will this work on more than one vehicle?
The FlashPro is locked to one vehicle. It can be unlocked and transferred to another vehicle by returning the ECU to stock.

Do I need the laptop in the vehicle to reflash the ECU?
No. The FlashPro can upload either with or without a laptop.

No. Every FlashPro will come with the full tuning software FlashProManager.

Do I need to send my ECU to Hondata?
No. Your ECU does not need to be modified for FlashPro.

I am considering purchasing a used FlashPro. What do I need to do to check?
The FlashPro must be unlocked by the seller. Have the seller send you this screenshot which shows the serial number password and lock status. Hondata does not unlock FlashPros. The reason for this policy is to prevent both fraud (against us) and theft (against you).
