- How much power will the FlashPro make on my car?
The FlashPro itself does not make power. The combination of parts and your engine makes the power. The FlashPro allows you to tune the fuel and ignition your car needs. The base maps are a great place to start though. The Maps page lists the calibrations available with the FlashPro and the power made compared to a stock Civic.

- 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. The R18 Civic probably has the most variants of any Honda model. Immediate support for all models is just not possible.

 - 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.

- Do I need dyno tuning?
It shouldn't be necessary for common part combinations (intake, exhaust), but you still have the option of custom tuning if you wish to get a little more. Forced induction will require dyno tuning.

- Can I get rid of the AFM and tune with the MAP sensor?
No. FlashPro Manager for the R18 Civic supports only AFM based tuning.

- 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.

- Can I share the calibrations I make for my car?
Yes.

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

- Is there a VTEC window?
Yes, but the VTEC on the R18 works differently than the Civic Si. VTEC is only activated at part throttle for fuel economy purposes. Temple of VTEC Asia has an excellent article on the R18 Civic engine that explains this.

- So does that mean 1 Hondata FlashPro can only work with one ecu or car only? Which means I can't buy one FlashPro and use it together with a few of my buddies Civics?
One ECU and vehicle at a time. You can unlock the FlashPro by returning the ECU to stock, and then transfer to another vehicle.

- Any option of immobilizer control?
The immobilizer can not be disabled. We've implemented a number of features designed to protect the owner of the vehicle from theft, and one of these is not to allow the immobilizer to be disabled. This is going to be much less of an issue than previous products because the ECU does not need to be removed / swapped.

- If the ECU had been reflashed by another maker, can FlashPro still work?
Probably - we could tell you based off the ECU part & serial numbers plus the calibration ID. When you unlock the FlashPro it will only be reflashed back to a stock calibration.

-Will this support 64-Bit Windows Vista?
Yes.

- Can it control nitrous?
No. However, you can at least control the ignition timing to make nitrous safer

- Will dealers need a software license?
No. Every FlashPro will come with the full tuning software FlashPro Manager.

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

Will the FlashPro be available for other Hondas and Acuras?

The FlashPro has the potential to work with most new model Hondas and Acuras made since 2007. We will evaluate other models as time permits.
