Default Engine Management System

Im shooting for 650whp but it will be mostly street driven between 350-400whp. I was orginally thinking about using the s300 since I had the s200 before, but now I really don't know. Now im leaning towards Neptune RTP or AEM. What should I get? Thanks. Let me know if I left out anything.

Either of those choices can work, it really depends upon what your tuner feels the most comfortable with. Whatever you decide, make sure it can support the voltage reading of a 4 bar sensor.

The neptune RTP has been discontinued..

I'd go with the S300, I've tuned a lot of 600-950+hp cars with the S300..

Which one has the most options? Two-step, boost by gear, etc.

Hondata S300. Don't worry about the boost by gear so much. Hell, if I wanted the world in a managment system, I'd do Autronic or Motec.

AEM EMS is what I personally use, and what I would recommend if you are going to take advantage of the additional features it offers over the s300. I tune and sell the s300 the most for b/h/d series engines anymore.

I didn't know that neptune had been discontinued. Im going to first check with my tuner and see what he feels comfortable tuning.

Neptune isn't bad, its just that the RTP was discontinued.. I don't know what the hell Pro EFI is, and it's obviously something that isn't used on Honda's much..

I'm an idiot, and I like the S300. It's easy to use, and works for me.

I had the s200b which I like very much. I know the s300 would be better, just trying to see what else is out there. I searched, new stuff always comes up. I also would like to know why they discontinued neptune rtp.

PM HRTuning if you want that answered, he's the main guy for Neptune here.

If you're going to run a C.O.P. setup, a Tony1 hall-sensor trigger setup, etc, bend over and go with AEM. Otherwise eCtune is the best priced EMS right now. For $399 you can get the license+ostrich+hulog combo for real-time programming, gear-based EBC like S300, secondary maps, 3 general purpose outputs, 2 inputs, etc. Almost everything can be adjusted on it, and almost every month there is an update to fix any bugs that are found.
