well now remember i am in the beautiful,clean... who am i kidding, horrible,smoggy, california. so smog is an issue, but rmember, it does only happen ever 2 years

 

Why not a S300? The S200 is a cheaper alternative, but does not support real time tuning. In my eyes, that means you make a pull, make changes, shut off the car, upload new map, turn car on again, and continue. With the s300, as soon as you make a change, it is uploaded and you see it take affect.

CA sucks for this reason! PA is the next in line regarding PITA states and their emissions testing. I need to move. lol

 

The only reason I suggested the s200 was because i thought it was a budget build, but having real time tuning is a huge advantage so yeah save up i guess, lol.

 

How is the interior holding up using that spray on stuff? Mine can't handle the heat and has cracked and flaked off here and there.

 

the plastic panels are in my car but not together, so far they seem to be ok. very rarely do i actually have my windows all the way up. so we shall see


and all your ecu talk i really need to look into what all these p's and s200 and all this stuff means lol, yes this is a budget build but im not gonna sacrifice quality just because i wanna get something done. my great great grandfather came here through elis island. he always said "im too poor to buy cheap things"

 

Alright the "P" words are the code for the actual honda ECU and the "S" words are the names of the Hondata chips for said "P" words.

Anyways totally understand what you mean about being too poor to buy cheap things, haha. If you don't do it right the first time you will just have to re do it later on and it will be a lot more expensive than just doing it right.

 

Awww ok that makes a little more sense. So who hear has bought a chipped ecu? Already with your aftermarket parts taken into consideration when ordering?? Make sense??

I emailed to some ecu company that was paro or pero something? Anyhow they asked what parts I had on my car so they could make a custom map or something to the parts I had on my car without actually running it on the dyno. Has anyone had success with that??

 

I think you are referring to phearable.net. They are fine to order from. Many members have ordered from there before with no problems.

I suggested the s300 since you can change it as often as you would like on the go as long as you have a laptop connected to it. That way, you wont have to worry about current and future mods affecting the tune.

 

I agree with cvcrcr99 on this one, if you get an ECU tuned for the specific parts you have right now then if you ever want to change set up you are screwed. The Hondata can be tuned as manytimes as you want and when ever you want like cvcrcr99 said.

 

Well, I am sure you can get a program on the chip which will allow a tuner to make adjustments. However, I am not 100% positive as I only have experience with the S300. Tuners are also very expensive. An extremely knowledgeable buddy of mine showed me basics of tuning and got me started with a nice base tune a while ago when I installed my JRSC, so that was one thing I never had to worry about.
