Skunk2 and its development partner Hondata have offer a plug-n-play programmable Honda/Acura ECU’s with data logging features. These ECU’s are essentially the same as Hondata’s proven S300 ECU and K-PRO ECU; but come pre-installed with Skunk2 developed base maps. Included with the ECU’s are a specialized Skunk2 CD containing extensive fuel and timing maps for various engine combinations utilizing Skunk2 Racing parts. These maps have been carefully developed and optimized on our engine and chassis dynos. Tuning updates will also be available as Skunk2 continues to develop new products and engine combinationsExample of re-flash for a Honda S2000

____________Note 15RX ______________________Note 15X_____________
Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. announced that the new Note compact car will go on sale at dealers throughout Japan beginning on January 16.
New Note Models and Technology
Note’s strong model lineup includes a value-leading 15RS model, newly added to strengthen the Sporty grade. Additionally 15G, 15G FOUR, 15X and 15X FOUR models are available in a "Plus navi HDD" version, which includes an exclusive HDD-based navigation system with a high-speed, large-capacity 30-gigabyte hard disk drive, wide 7-inch liquid crystal monitor, touch panel, TV, VICS FM multiplex receiver, Music Stocker, iPod® Control*, CD player and electronically tuned AM/FM radio; green-tinted UV-blocking windshield glass with a top shade; and two rear speakers.
Refreshed Exterior Styling
The 2008 Note features a new front end design, with new headlights, hood, grille and bumper. Additional front end enhancements include a choice of grille finish on the G and X Series Notes – either a body-color or gunmetal metallic finish – or a “smoky chrome” - plated grille on the Sporty Series Note.
Ten exterior colors are available on the 2008 Note, including three new colors – a special Titanium Pearl Metallic Blue Turquoise, Titanium Metallic Frosty Green and Pearl Metallic Amethyst Gray.
An Interior Emphasizing Style And Convenience
The 2008 Note’s interior provides a tasteful ambience while offering convenience for the driver and passengers. Note’s new instrument panel styling, with larger openings for the dual ringed meters with the liquid crystal display odometer and twin trip meters with a fuel consumption display function, provides enhanced readability. White-faced gauges are standard on the Sporty Series (15RX and 15RS), as is a genuine leather-wrapped 3-spoke steering wheel with red stitching (standard on 15RX).
Note features a wide variety of convenience equipment, including a standard rear-seat center armrest with two cupholders on the 15G, 15G FOUR, 15RS and 15RX models; standard water-repellent seat fabric that resists dirt and moisture, in a set with a seatback table on the driver's seat on the 15G and 15G FOUR models; standard cold climate package on all 4WD models; and a standard seatbelt reminder system for the driver on all models.
New seat and door trim color packages are offered in Sand Beige, featuring a new color scheme; Black; and Carbon Black with red stitching.
Sporty, Environmentally Responsible Powertrain
Available with both 2WD and 4WD drivelines, the 2008 Note remains easy to drive, with low fuel consumption and clean emissions. Improvements have been made to the HR15DE 1.5-liter 4-cylinder engine and XTRONIC CVT, which enables all 2WD models to comply with the requirements of the new JC08 fuel economy and exhaust emission test mode*1.
Confirmed on the basis of the recently adopted JC08H + JC08C emissions test mode*1, which better reflects actual driving conditions, 2WD Note models emit 75% fewer nitrogen oxides (NOx) and non-methane hydrocarbons (NMHC) than the levels required under Japan's 2005 exhaust emission regulations. 4WD Note models also attain the same reduced emission levels under the 10-15+11 test mode.
Additionally, due to the adopted JC08 test mode*1, as well as on conventional 10-15 test mode data, fuel economy figures have been realigned for 2WD Note models which more closely matches actual fuel consumption in real-world driving.

ARC Super Induction Box was developed aiming improved response of engine at low, mid, and high speed. The second merit is a Funnel effect. 
Preventing the negative pressure that occurs between cleaner and intake manifold at the time of On and Off of acceleration, the unit provides improvement of response by rectifying an intake air. Installation is an easy bolt on typ
Larger capacity of the box enables excellent intake efficiency.The Super Induction Box adopts box type which maximizes the existing space. It holds larger amount of an air in the box and provides excellent acceleration response. It is designed to make effective intake with extra air held in large capacity of the aluminum box.
The stability and response of intake efficiency are proven by the Funnel.Intake air is stabilized by the Funnel inside the box, and the intake efficiency is further improved. In order to get the maximum performance of engine, fresh air is effectively sent into the engine, and it provides smooth intake and exhaust from low rpm to high rpm
Newly adopted Frame Lamination materializes high efficiency of intake without stress.Special filters designed only for ARC Induction Box. The sponge type filters adopted for frame lamination reduces resistance at intake, and provides highly effective intake without stress. It is also excellent in collecting dust and lowering intake sounds.
