is hondata and crome pro the same thing? i need to get my car retuned, i have a hondata computer but there are no hondata tuners anywhere in my area for a reasonable price... if i get crome pro and a new socketed p28, will i loose anything over the hondata or is it bASICALLY THE SAME THING?

 

they are not the same but both will do what you want to do, but you'll pay much more for it with hondata.

If you have a hondata chipped P28 you can use it with crome or crome Pro.

There is no need to get a new ecu. Just get into contact with whoever is going to tune your car and ask what they want to tune.

I would go crome pro or S300, but the S300 will require a new socket, which is basically getting a new ecu.

So my vote would be crome pro.

S300 and crome pro are basically the same as far as software and features, S300 is a little nicer to tune, but definitley more expensive.

 

how do you save the tune in the hondata ecu? when there is no power, it doesnt reset but if i disconnect it all together will the tune be lost?

It is stored in the chip. It has nothing to do with power to the ecu.

 

my question is, is the chip in the hondata box itself or in the ecu?basically will i loose the hondata tune if i switch to crome pro and want to go back?

 

No you won't loose the tune if you don't reburn the hodnata chip. If you uninstall the hodnata stuff, and keep the chip and don't reuse it. You could put it back in at any time, you won't loose the burn.

 

the chip is in the ecu.. depends on the chip if it is 29c256 you can just write over it a new tune.. so if you do that, obviusly you will lose the last tune that you had in it.. well you can save whats in the chip to a soft copy.. hth's
