hondata does fuel cut like a stock ecu would do.

hondata is also a switch like msd. u can wire it up to the clutch switch and everytime you depress the clutch fully it locks into the rev-limit or have a button to u can activate the limiter.

on my car, it's on the cruise control button.

with neptune the 2 step is user adjustable.. the preset rpm is whatever you set it at. mine is set at 3500 or you can bring the rpms up slowly to a certain rpm then stomp on it to hit WOT and it will 2 step there.

doesnt seem like you did a lot of research to me...

msd does ignition cutoff
crome/uberdata/hondata does fuel cutoff

2step usually means you can set 2 rpm limits
3step = 3 rpm limits.

if you look at the picture, you'll see module 1, module 2, module 3.
you can see 3 different rpms for 3 different functions.


the 2step only has 2 modules.


here's some info i found for the 3step on a vendor's website.
http://www.martelbrothers.com/....html

and the same for 2step...

yes u need a lap top, crome 2 step is not used by a clutch switch or button, my friend has it on his ls vtec, and if he wants to change the rpm launch settings he would have to go back to the tuner and have him reset it

i think he was asking about enabling and disabling... not changing.
usually to enable "2step" (aka full throttle launch) you press in the clutch.
to disable, just depress the clutch.

go with msd, it uses that modual, but it uses pills instead of switch, so u would just have to change the rpm pills to wat u want, i like the hondata one cause its convenient. But i like that msd ignition one too

i know the msd has pills,, but does it have a clutch switch? how exactly does the msd one work?

but also whats the differences in a fuel cutoff and ignition cutoff 2 step?

do the msd modules come with pills.. it doesnt say and i didnt see a place to order them seperately.

well, i believe crome has the option to use your a/c button as a switch to enable/disable full throttle launch.

msd uses pills or you can buy an rpm selector. it's a rotary **** that lets you change the rpm by just turning the ****. i believe theyre sold in different ranges.
and yes, pills are sold seperately.

if you look at a wiring diagram for the 2step you can set the switch to whatever you want. you can put an actual switch or a misc button in your car (defroster, a/c, w/e) or clutch switch.

and ignition cutoff obviously cuts spark but still supplies fuel...
fuel cutoff cuts fuel (obvious again)... what i noticed with uberdata/crome is that my wideband displays LEAN when its bouncing off the preset cutoff rpm. cant say thats a great thing if you're building a few psi while its displaying LEAN.

so as soon as you launch you have to hit the a/c button? isnt that kind hard when your hand has to be on the ebrake for preloading the clutch then has to be back on the shifter?
