Everyone will tell you to get hondata. If your car is relatively stock you probably don't have much of a need for one. But do what you like. You have much more things you can do with a hondata though.

Like Sack Master said, get hondata. It leaves more options for tuning in the future.

i would get a hondata, leaves more options for tuning in the future....but if your motor is pretty much stock then i would go with something that different such as a clutch or cams first....

if your going turbo, make sure you get the boost option with the hondata, otherwise it will be kinda of waste.

Apexi PowerFC with/ Commander

No need for Vafc or Hondata, control all your ecu functions and then some.

Badass setup!

I like the Power FC w/ datalogit as well, but use the Hondata S200B. You get more control with the PFC than the Hondata (as well as an integrated boost controller). I'm not sure if the PFC can do an auxillary 0-5V input datalog for a wideband, but if it can, I would probably put it above using a Hondata S200B.

My opinion is that as soon as you need sizeably larger injectors (300cc/min or larger), then you need to stop using the AFC and adjustable return regulator. This usually goes hand-in-hand with bigger cams or forced induction. You can still keep the adjustable regulator and AFC. It makes a good monitor with peak and hold function.

Also, the ability to tune in open loop is priceless.
