hondata s300 vs other ems
Hey guys i've got a 95 gsr im planning on boosting at 8 or so this summer. currently all it has is an act stage III clutch, seven lb flywheel, v2 intake, 5zigen exhaust, hi flow cat, a dc header, omni power vavles (stock compression) pnp head, and its gutted except for carpet and my seat. I'm looking into buying the hondata s300 for it in a few weeks but i want to kno what the pros and cons are, coming from people who have experience with it (not just what their website says) is it better than the greddy emanage or aem's ems. is it worth getting befefore the turbo set up? (i'd like to learn how to tune it before i put a 3k+ turbo set up on it. any info you guys can give me would be great. thanks.

dude ems just means engine management system... Some EMS's are just a chipped ecu with a basemap that you plug in with a conversion harness rather than the original ecu that came with the car....
It's not less expensive, if anything, its MORE expensive... by quite a bit. AEM ems is more expensive, but thats really one of the only popular ones that costs
It really depends on what your tuner prefers...
I know mine somewhat prefers Neptune, so that's what Im going with.
Neptune and Crome both are just loaded onto your ecu, so you dont need any hardware to run it... There are versions you can get with hardware, but its totally not needed.. especially for beginners like you and me.
And I would definitely pay someone to tune your car... I wouldnt recommend doing it yourself, just because it can be a BIG accident if you were to mess up. I'm not trying to sell you short, I just dont wnat anything bad to happen to your engine.
EMS before a major mod wont really help, so if I were you, I'd wait until the turbo install.
