Being a user of Crome Pro and eCtune, I can tell you that eCtune is way but way ahead of Crome. As John said it himself, Crome is primary an editing tool, not a tuning tool even though it could be use as one. On the other hand, eCtune is a complete tuning package.

BTW, if anyone is interested in a used O2 sensor, mine is for sell. My ECU is running from the WB signal now. Thank eCtune

The software looks very promising. Hope the ignition control is better than that of Crome. Cant wait to try it

All of the above I have personally tested.

Looks like the days of Cromepro will be coming to an end soon, if the prices are competitive if not better...

Im very impressed! reminds of of how Neptune got developed...

I ment to quote the pictue of the closed loop with 0-5v

that is amazing, aswell as some of the other fetures. And since the ceators of this program helped make crome I would say they have excellent crudentails.

Onely thing is sine I already perchased crome pro I would have a hard time shelling out more cash for a different rom editor

I love how all of these threads need to have a competitive nature.

Crome vs Hondata
Hondata vs Neptune
Crome vs eCtune

Rather comical actually as every one of the above editors work, have been working and have been used by thousands over the past few years successfully.

It comes down to if your tuner knows how to use said hardware to get the most out of your setup. It also depends on how well your setup is put together...

All of these editors do the same exact things in a different (software) manner, they ultimately all use the same hardware to control the motor. Some have more features than others etc...

I will say that using eCtune for the past few months I am very excited for its public debut, I think that eCtune will offer the most competitive bang for your buck if you are a DIYer...professional and hobbiest tuners will also enjoy its price tag and feature set I'm sure

We re-mapped my B18C(crx) last weekend, and I have nothing but good thing sto say about eCtune.

I'm no expert by any means, but setting the car up was a breeze, where crome would give some dodgy values here and there.
The car is running a little bit smoother now. But the most noticeable difference has been low rev range and idle improvements. We just couldn't get it to stup hunting for idle in crome. And it always ran a bit rough below 3Krpm. No matter what we tried.

Problems fixed. I can't wait for some of the newer features. Wideband closedloop is pure genius.

As first hand tester (over a year now) and personal friend of Calvin I can tell eCtune works great!

Even as a first hand tester I never encountered big problems. Almost all updates worked well without the need to make another quick update to solve sudden problems.

Calvin knows his software!

btw, updating the software is a laugh! Just start "force update" and the rest is history.

Its so easy to use........
The graphs are amazing. Couldn't work without them!
