RTP owner here. Paying customer, I'm not a shill.

Works great, I don't even know it's in the car... which is exactly how I expect a fuel managment solution to work. Low compression B18C1, about to be turbocharged shortly I have RC550's in my car, and I had it started and running like stock within like 30 seconds of opening the Neptune app.

Was nice not having to change my ECU's socket to header pins like my buddys who've gone S300 had to!

My only complaint is against myself! My laptop doesnt have bluetooth so I can't tune & datalog wirelessly

Did you get the bluetooth capability at the same time.

I've been using Neptune on my personal car (2001 Prelude) since near the beginning of 2005. I've been running the RTP in the car since March of this year.
It has run the car extremely reliably, has not caused any issues such as non-start, poor idle, hesitation or anything.

I liked it well enough that I have a 2nd unit coming (should be here by Thursday!) to run my H22 EF with. Untuned, running on a JDM p13, it put down 181 horsepower at Blacktrax in Milpitas. I'll report back on what I make after tuning it with the RTP on a P72.

I've played with all the other tuning solutions, and while they all made power in my Prelude, nothing has come close in regards to drivability, part throttle and general everyday driving. Hands down, for the Honda ECU-based solutions Neptune RTP is the best for anyone running an h-series engine.

I didn't, because my laptop lacks it.

It's just a module you slide on the board, so should I get a better laptop eventually I might add the feature. I edited my first post a little btw.

Is Neptune original also as glitch-free as RTP?

Is the only difference Bluetooth?

They run exactly the same. The RTP just allows you to use the software to tune it yourself and make changes.

Neptune = Bluetooth

I'm running Neptune (not RTP) but everything has gone excellent so far, no problems yet. Been using it for about 2-3 months now.

Yah, I thought about getting one of those... but I have a longer USB cable ran through the console, it just comes out about where the seatbelt thingy is by your butt.

I think if down the road PocketPC/PDA's get supported I'll be really hot n heavy to go BT

My RTP's been glitch free, but that's due to the nonRTP's extensive testing (since it's the same system). And yes, it's all in real-time .. the tuning/datalogging etc.

I have been running NepTune RTP on my personal car for quite some time (and the EEPROM system before it) and I have been extremely satisfied. I don't push NepTune just because I sell it, quite the contrary. I sell/tune NepTune because it is incredible.

Hey Kelly, I bet we can fab an adapter to put a honda distributor on a smallblock chevy and run it wasted spark... lets NepTune your turbo v8 project!!!

Oh and Kelly, I think he was talking about this v8:
