Can someone explain the difference to me?

 

right now i have a chipped p28 with hondata s200; the prob is my shop dosnt have the softwear nor do they have a chip burner....so im thinking maybe i can upgrade to hondata s300 becuase all you need is well a laptop w/ usb? am i right? What kind of ecu/ecu modification would i need?

 

one had boost option built in (s300) and the s200 does not.. And the s300 is more tuner friendly.. And yes the s300 had a usb plug adapted to your p28..

WTF!

well the hondata page is a bit misleading uptop it say "utilizes facotry ECU" then down it sayd "ECU must be modified". My question really is what will i have to do wtih my ECU to change it form using the s200 system and make it use the s300 system? Also if i am running s300 does my tuner need to have a chip burner at all??? And whatever that bs was about boost...the s200 has it also...so please peeps give me some realiable info to go on.thanks

 

When they say utilizies facory ecu they mean that its not a seperate ecu like the aem ems.

 

read the post below much better explanation

The s300 is a daughterboard with real-time programming built into it. The S200 is a blue box that sits external to the ECU casing and connects to the ECU through a 4-pin wire (see pictures of S200 on website). Because the S300 already has real-time programming and datalogging built into the daughterboard, you don't need to have a ROMulator or a chip burner. The S200 does require a chip burner and ROMulator (or either of the two).

Boost is an option on the S200, but it's a standard feature on the S300...FTL/FTS are also standard on the S300 and optional on the S200.

The S300's SManager software can also do a lot more than the S200's ROMeditor software....detailed IAT/ECT/gear correction, boost control/cut, wideband offset, on-board datalogging, anti-lag, Alpha-N crossed with speed-density, etc. etc. etc.

Both use factory ECU's. Both require the ECU to be modified so that it can datalog and read from external memory (it's called socketing).

If you don't already have a S200, buying a S300 is practically a no-brainer.

 

s300 rocks it...
