What is your ECU part number?

We have not seen any engine damage when using the built in calibrations.

Air box being the thing middle up front?

ECu would be between that and the fuse box? The thing with the 2 gray clips on top? I don’t see a serial number anywhere on that.

Thank you spunkster.

I’m leasing the car. Would you recommend I don’t use the flash pro in that case?

My wife is a little nervous about it and I’d like to ease her mind

Basically she’s concerned about voiding the warranty and causing additional wear to the engine or parts connected to it.

Also, is it easy to revert to stock settings for the ECU for when we return the car?

This is a decision that is completely up to you.

It can be returned to stock at any time.

I understand that.

I’m looking for an experienced, professional opinion.

Same question, for 2019 Civic Hatchback Sport Touring. ECU is 37820 SAN LJ1, if I read it right

And same question re effect on warranty, if flashing from the CARB limited Hondata unit.
