Default What are advantages of hondata over zdyne for crx.

I have a obd0 crx so i d rather go with zdyne but everyone says go to od1 and go with hondata. I really dont want to do the obd1 conversion. its for a JRSC obd0b18c in crx.

personally i rather have the Zdyne SECU
fully tunable and it has some other extra features the Hondata doesnt have
dont take me wrong , i love hondata, but i feel that on OBDO cars, Zdyne will do a better job
when my couisn dynoed his B16 CRX, he got more HP from a zdyne than the PR3 chipped with mugen, toda and other progrfams, even with a hondata he borrowed

i say zdyne hands down IMO

The advantage of Hondata for your setup is you're a couple more hundred dollars out of pocket for your OBD1 conversion. The more you spend, obviously the better it is. If you had to drop five times as much fitting a MAF based DSM ECU, it would be even better than that!

Uh, Hyundaidata has datalogging, Zdyne has true tune on the fly. Zdyne's whored around pics of their datalogging software for a while now, but their too slack to release it.

if i was going to pay for an EMS, i would have chosen zdyne over hondata. i know john at LHT likes zdyne a lot...perhaps he can chime in as to why. the only reason i went with an OBD1 conversion was so that i could run uberdata. zdyne seems like a great option for OBD0 though from what i've heard

Aren't there waaaaay more places to get hondata tuned?

And does zdyne make a boost unit for the pw0?

I asked this very same question about 6 months ago.

If your not going for a ton of HP the Zdyne will do fine. IMO, it is the easiest to setup standalone out there for Hondas. It seriously took me about a half hour to put mine in and set it up. Cake.

Now that I have a B18C1 shooting for over 500hp, I ditched the Zdyne for an OBD1 conversion and a S200B with datalogging. The only reason why is because OBD1 has a higher resolution in the tables (more accuracy) than OBD0...and better high RPM tables (the OBDO tables just stop at 7400).

Well the Tables do stop at 7400...but that isn't to say that the max you can take it to is 7400. It just extrapolates the maps past that point...(not very accurate if you ask me).

Does turboedit do the same?

Datalogging is the only thing I can think of, but to my knowledge Zdyne's datalogging is almost complete, and there are a couple of other programs you can datalog with. I had a S200b with datalogging (never used) and traded it for Zdyne. I'm happy I did so far.

I revved mine out to 9500 RPM with the extrapolation... Worked fine since VTEC was at 4500, and the turbo was fully spooled already...

I made 232 at the wheels. I PLAN on making 350+ at the wheels this summer with my Z-Dyne.

the last i heard, turboedit was limited to 7400 but jason was working on extrapolating it, so i guess the same thing you're talking about. but he wasn't to that point quite yet. i just decided to go uberdata because i didn't want to wait around.

The "7400 rpm limitation" isnt as big a deal as it sounds. An engines fueling needs
change very little after peak torque. Since the majority of the people on here
seem to be boosting near stock motors, or keep stock redlines, there really isnt
anything to worry about.
