Im thinking of switching from my Hondata s200b to crome due to availability of tuner, and im wondering is the chip for crome and hondata the same meaning all i have to do is remove the hondata unit and put in the crome chip?

You will remove the Hondata unit and simply install a chip programmed with Crome. What you are asking though is the Hondata and Crome code the same? The answer is no. Hondata chips are encrypted and can only be read with the Romeditor software. You could transplant the values from one chip to another if you have access to the rom editor software however.

 

So the hondata and crome chip are the same, i got hondata now but im getting a retune and since they are the same. I would just have to remove the hondata unit and put on the crome chip?

 

yes sir!

I understand what you are asking, but you are asking it incorrectly. Like I said, the data on the chip is different between Hondata and Crome... So to say they are the "same" is incorrect. You will just need to remove the Hondata unit and put in the Crome chip however. Understand?

 

I think what he is asking (correct me if I'm wrong) is if the socket is the same.

MaybeI dont understand what he is asking then..lol... If this is the question then yes, the socket is the same.

 

Remove all of your Hondata stuff, then just plug in the new chip.

Here is a shot of my p28 ecu, the chip you remove to insert the CROME chip is on the bottom right, it says SST on it:



A closer shot:



If you are doing this yourself just pay attention to which way this chip is facing when you remove it, and put the new one in the same way.

Hope this helps clear some things up .

 

You sure that ECU is an original P28? It was definately converted from an auto to a manual. Just asking, not trying to fire up any disputes.

 

No I'm not sure about that. I just thought it would help get an idea about where the chip will go.

The ecu was from Pheable.net. I have never had a problem with this ecu. I ran an all motor basemap on it over the summer. When I boosted it in Jan I ran a boost basemap on CROME. Now I am tuned on Neptune by Jeff Evans!

No, I'm not saying you would have any trouble with it. Converted P06's and auto to manual conversions work fine. Its the same crap in the end.

 

HAHA alright, enough thread jacking...

Same hardware, quit arguing with yourself lol.

Technically, the Hondata system requires the interface box in order to function correctly... So no, its not the same hardware

 

Stop confising people dude lol
