Ok, is it jsut editing software, or does it require an actual add on box like Hondata? I've heard ALOT of people drop the name, but I haven't really found any solid info on it. I'll be honest though....I didn't do an in depth search cause I am friggin exhasuted.

 

It is an eprom editor just like ubderdata. It does not require anything besides a comptable ecu.

Socketed ecus & chipped ecus using crome, hondata, uberdata etc.

Is the CTR ECU compatible?


Also I am not familiar with Uberdata. All I have used is Hondata and various vtec controlers.

 

You must use a obd1 ecu such as a p28, p72 etc.

 

dammit.....always have to buy new stuff.


So any difference if I use a P28 or a P30?

 

p06, p28, p30, p72 are all obd1

 

Nope, as long as ither ecu is chipped/socketed

Check out: https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1242980

 

yeah if you already have a socketed ECU (lots of people have them with generic chips such as Mugen, skunk, etc. in the socket) crome writes a file that just gets burned to a chip and you stick the chip in the socket.

Just got my allmotor LS/VTEC tuned with crome and its running like a champ. I'm glad I didn't spend a crapload of money on Hondata!

 

where can i get this software!

 

i believe pgmfi.org would be the easiest place to get. we use crome pro now and did some basic tuning for idle last night. from what i can see it does EVERYTHING that hondata does but for free.
we dont use uberdata either cause it seems like its always having problems of one reason or another. turboedit and crome.

 

SO you just use a laptop with a serial adaptor to interface with the computer?

Your in San Jose, Red Zone Performance tunes with crome. I beleave they use crome pro! If you need to be tuned with crome, they are great at it.

LOL, Redzone uses Chad's dyno (A train).....I think he knows them

http://forum.pgmfi.org

 

If he knows them then why doesn't he ask them about it?

I don't know.....

But that website has a ton of info and I will be using crome also. I hear it has more options/functions than uberdata.

 

ive talked to them about it but u know people dont really like to give up there trade secrets! so i dont really ask them due to respect! but we have talked alot about it cause they do all of the rom tuning! I already have all the neccessary stuff but no time right now to do the searching thanks for all the info guys!

Its not really a trade secret. Anyone can download the software, how well you use it to tune a vehicle is another story.

 

I don't think he means trade secrets by software, but how we use it......not just anyone can jump in and use the software and have great success with it. You have to understand the software and understand the principles of tuning an engine....

you think the guy that thinks he knows how to tune a vafc is going to know exactly what to do with a crome.....

don't forget that you have to have more than just a laptop and an ecu to use crome......

Chad, you know we are more then happy to help you out if you need something tuned...just call us a day ahead...not an hour!

 

You cant just hook up with a serial adapter and think your gonna modify timing and fuel tables. You need a socketed obd-1 ecu. "Socketed" means thats its setup to accept eprom chips that you write with an eprom burner.

low end eprom burners can be had for $50 give or take. Then you will need chips, everytime u want to change something, u need another chip, (or use reflashables)

A romulator is always nice too along with a crome pro license :-)

 

does crome have a 2-step/ launch control?

It is a plugin-feature. Yes.

 

yes romulators are great....we have one with our crome pro license!
