Ok I have a couple questions because I am all kinds of confused about how the driving modes are acting after I upgraded to Stage 2 Hondata.

My Accord has both Econ and Sport and then What I believe to be normal which for this thread is neither selected. Obviously before the flash they did what they did. Now after the flash I am confused at what is going on. If I understand it correctly, ECON is now what used to be Normal and Sport is Boosted Stage 2 Flash. If that is the case what is the in between setting when neither ECON or Sport are selected?

On another note I understand there is a way to load two flashes so you can downgrade to stock without a laptop. Has anyone had success doing this and is there a highlevel tutorial somewhere on how to do that. I know you have to load both calibrations but I am not sure at that point what is happening or how to revert with just the dongle.

Thanks in advance.

I may have answered my own question through deductive reasoning. I believe that Econ and Normal are the same and Sport is now the new Stage 2 setting. Pretty sure nothing else has changed but I would like for someone to confirm for me if they can.

Hopefully your assumption is correct but to validate it you may want to check w/Hondata… from what I've heard they have been very responsive in responding/answering questions/concerns for their customers.

I got Hondata stage 2 flashed on my 2019 Accord 2.0 Sport....so in Eco mode throttle response is lazy until 3000 rpm, normal mode not as lazy until 3000 rpm and sport mode...throttle not lazy what so ever

Yeah that pretty much sums up my experience

That sounds pretty cool.

Do you maintain a decent Gas Mileage when in the ECO mode compared to sport now?

Do either of you have some numbers of what sort of Gas Mileage you get now?

My normal driving mpg hasn't changed when I am not in sport mode. I am 80% city so I don't get on it much and I have only had for a week so I can't give you much feedback other to say the limited spirited driving I have been doing hasn't changed the mileage at all. But these are quick jaunts off the line for maybe a couple hundred yards here and there.

That is good to know, cant drive a Honda if you didn't try to beat everyone off the line ;p
I appreciate the info, my driving is mostly city and then woodsy backroads

You need a laptop to flash back even though you may have both stage 2 tune and stock tune in the slots. Eco normal boost pressure
Normal mode adjusted boost pressure and throttle response sport mode: holy fawwwk
