Default Hondata or AEM EMS ??????

what do you think is better for tunning reasons and for reliability?

and ease to use, it is a tossup between the s200 with boost option ect. ect. ect. (with all the options like the 4b) or the AEM EMS

Get whatever your tuner is experienced with using.

Hondata very easy to use and tuning can be done with less dyno pulls than an AEM.

Does the AEM have the auto tune opption and if so does it work good?

Does Hondata have something like that? I like the Hondata better myself i am just tring to get my mind straight with what i can do.

How can hondata be tuned in less dyno pulls?
AEM can be tuned with zero dyno pulls, wideband = autotune.

Anyway. AEM is more user friendly, easy to change settings. With hondata you gotta burn a new rom.

AEM is very complex, learning the program takes time.

If your going to do the tuning yourself and change it a lot go with AEM.

If someone else is going tune go with Hondata. If their no hondata tuner close to you, then AEM.

If you go with AEM, spend the extra money and get a wideband setup for it.

Whats the cost of the cheapest/most effective wideband setup? Im in the same boat, except I am a good 5 hours from ANYONE who would know what standalone even is, let alone a dyno...

People on here have had great things to say about the techedge unit, I believe they were using the NKG wideband unit, not sure though.

Here is a link to it:

800 is way off...i got my techedge for 265 i think and got the sensor for 100 shipped....so for less than 400 bucks you can have yourself something that will definately aid you in tuning wether its a hondata OR a AEM.

prebuilt kit...i wouldn't spend more than $500 on the techedge plus sensor anyways since you can get a good FJO one for around $600...you don't need those neat display units (although with the prebuilt you get it) since it should be logged anyways.
