I currently own a 1997 Type-SH that runs and looks great. I don't drive it evry single day, but I do drive it enough to call it a daily driver.

The thing I love about my car is that it is clean, and everything is in working order and works perfectly. It is not hacked and spliced like a lot of Hondas that you see on the road. This is why I decided to stay all-motor and not buy a turbocharger kit ( I wanted to keep my ATTS system in working order ).

My plans were to buy some basic air-flow upgrades and get the car tuned with a Honadata S200 with the P28 OBD-I ECU conversion. However, after looking on Hondata's website, I noticed that using this setup may force me to have to convert to an OBD I distributor, and could possibly make me lose my ATTS. Is this true?

I was looking forward to seeing what my tuner could do with the Hondata on my car, but I do not want to sacrifice my daily driveability, nor do I wish to hack at a car that is in perfect condition. What do you guys think? Should I get a V-AFC II instead, or am I worried about something that isn't worth worrying about? What about the AEM EMS, can you gain as much with that as you can with the Hondata ( I know that it mostly depends on the tuner ). Thanks a lot.

 

AFAIK, neither AEM nor Hondata can control ATTS.

 

So I'm pretty much stuck with the A'PEXi V-AFC II?

If you want to stay obd2, yes.

 

I've been running Hondata on my SH for 2 years and don't miss ATTS at all. You're gonna lose it anyway when you hit that magic tq number so, why not?

 

are u sure that u need to run a obd1 dizzy?

 

You don't need to change distributors.

 

to keep atts your choices are the VAFC and the Greddy Emanage.

the greddy's a little more full featured than the VAFC with datalogging and ignition control and can be had with a PnP harness adaptor.
