First time using FlashPro; questions about Hondata mode

Post by LBFONG »

Hey all, I have a 2022 Civic 1.5T (non-SI).

I had a couple questions before I try to upload a base map (just ordered the FlashPro, it hasn't arrived yet).

https://www.hondata.com/help/flashpro/i ... a_mode.htm

The manual tells me that Sport Hondata mode gives tuned power in sport mode and "stock" power in non sport (so normal and Econ)
Econ Hondata mode delivers "stock" power in Econ mode, and tuned power in non econ (normal and sport).

My vehicle has both sport and econ modes, thus I am unsure which honadata mode will be applicable to me - econ button boost or sport button boost?

If it's Econ button boost for Hondata mode, does this mean that "Normal" and "Sport" will now both effectively be the same, both getting the full tune, or are there still difference between Sport and Normal in this scenario?

Also, what happens if I just dont enable hondata mode at all?

Thanks
-Lin

Econ will be stock and the other 2 modes will have the power increase.

If I select Econ boost button mode? Then there will be no difference between Sport and Normal (other than being able to use the paddle shifters in "manual")?

Thank you so much!

One further question: I've noticed (stock behavior, nothing has been changed yet), that when I pop her from Normal into Sport, the tachometer jumps anywhere from 1k-2k RPMs higher, even though I'm at the same speed & haven't even accelerated. It's almost as if the car downshifts a "gear" or two at any given speed vs driving in Normal (note that this is without touching the paddle shifters either - car is still in automatic at this point, until the paddle shifters are used). Does this behavior still happen after using the FlashPro 93 octane base map?

It is most likely just downshifting based on the throttle position.
