Hondata tune gives 2018 Accord more torque than Civic Type R — autoblog.com

Honda tuning company Hondata is a prime example. The company has engine computer reflashes available that can make a Civic Sport a legitimate hot hatch, and can make the Civic Si even hotter than it already is. We even experienced the former, and for as little as $350 to as much as $695 for the computer tuner, it's excellent bang for the buck that makes a real noticable difference.
