Are there shops that will tune your car if you buy say a JET chip or v-afc?

and also, does the type of chip you get matter if you have a manual or AT

what is a good chip for AT and good chip for manual.

Don't buy a premade chip. Get your ecu chipped with a custom basemap and take it to a tuner and it will be done properly.

are there shops that will tune your car, and you dont need to buy a chip is that what youre saying?

IHateJDM

a good tuner can tune a vafc or a chip. I would recommend the chip since it actually alters the fuel maps and doesn't just alter the signal the ecu sees from certain sensors.

a good chip is a chip tuned for your specific car. any other chip is a bad chip. Every motor is different, buying a chip online with modified fuel maps designed around someone else's car is asking for trouble.

Yep. It doesn't matter if its hondata or uberdata, as long as your tuner knows what he's doing you'll be fine.

what kind of shops will do this type of tuning?

also what is the dif. between the different hondata chips?

that all depends on what is local to you. tuning on the dyno would be your best bet.

i went to hondata.com, and becuase i am new to "tuning" i do not understand what the difference is between the chips...sry

S100 = chip burned with new fuel/ignition maps for your car.

S200 = S100 + datalogging capabilities (download info from car's sensors to pda or laptop to see what its doing).

S300 = S200 + real-time programming (change fuel/ignition maps on the fly).

There is a little more to it than that, but those are the biggest differences.

First thing you should do is find a tuner in your area, tell him/her your set up, price range, and see what he/she wants to do. They'll prolly tune you with crome, which is the best, hondata is just extra wasted money to me.

TrunkRattlin

yaeh, im trying to find a tuner now, is CROME a chip that you have to buy too?

SVOboy

Crome is a program to make the maps to burn the chips, check out http://www.pgmfi.org Sure to find a tuner and more info there. Crome is free, CromePro (what a tuner will prolly use) is like 150.

The hondata wont work with the AT tranny... So what if i got a Jet kit and sent them my ecu after i insert the supercharger? is JET good with ECUs? Anyone have expeirence with them?

Get someone to tune it first hand, no substitute.
