Im confused as to how it works. First you have the chipped ECU, then you have the blue box that plugs into it (s200)

Now if i wanted to tune it, can i just plug into the blue box? or do i really have to buy a chip burner/romulator and mess with that.

If i have to have a chip burner, why do i have to have the blue box?


Why am i asking this? because i was hopeing to do a bit of tuning myself but i got lost on the hondata site between the romulator, chip burner, datalogging, rom editor, and programmer.

 

If you want to buy and use hondata yourself, your looking at a cost of about 1000$ when its all said and done. Pricing the S300 system with ALL options, plus the ECU cost.

i already the box so i would like to use it. i was tuned with it once before but i changed my setup an dont want to pay again....

i wish chrome had a hack for it.

 

Assuming you already have Datalogging in your Hondata Box, you are going to need the following to tune yourself:

ROM Editor ($200)
Wideband O2 ($250)
Romulator/Ostrich ($175)
Chip Burner ($85)

Total ($710)

 

what is the rom editor? shouldnt that come with the chip burner?

I already have a wideband.

do you really need a romulator? wouldnt you need that OR the chip burner?


also, wouldnt i need all this stuff if i used crome?

The ROM Editor is the Software used to make changes to the ECU program file (BIN).

The ROM Editor is not a standard feature included in the S200 System. Hondata charges $200 for the software license.

The Romulator is not needed, but it helps speed the tuning process by allowing you to tune in Real-Time. Otherwise you would have to burn a new chip each time you made a change to the ECU program file.

If you wanted to use Crome, you would have to purchase the Crome-Pro License ($150). The same hardware is needed to run both Hondata and Crome.

 

You dont need crome pro to run crome. The free version will run the car just as well as the pro version just minus some features.

 

thanks for the help.


few more though....

what all does crome pro have that crome doesnt?

what the hell does plugging into the hondata blue box do then?

I think Crome-Pro has Datalogging, Autotune, etc to name a few..

The Hondata Blue Box is basically a Key needed to run a Hondata Programmed Chip. It has electronics inside that is used to decipher their proprietary code.

 

gotcha. How much is crome pro?


what the hell can you do with normal crome it if cant datalog? read off your gauge?
