I was wondering how to tune cars i did a search and from what i could gather (from my searches here) hondadata is a tuning program? Were could i get it and is it easy to learn to use and use. How does it work (i dont mean on the car but do you pull ecu and hook up to computer or what?) thanks in advance

 

Hondata is a company that specialises in engine management computers for Honda enthusiasts.

They make chips that are pre-tuned for certain improvements that people are likely to get, cheaper tunable computers for some people, and all the way up to fully configurable systems that are fairly expensive but suitable for race cars and high horsepower, boosted drag cars.

Forgive me, but from the level of experience you've evinced in your query, it would be a good idea for you to ask a lot more questions, visit the Web site, and think carefully about what it is you are trying to accomplish.

 

These books are pretty easy to read. I've read 3 of them(car electronics, manual transmisions, and shop tools) and learned a whole lot but haven't picked this one up yet. Good luck.

It's hondata

Tuning is a pretty complex thing. Now, I'n not trying to bash you, because I sure couldn't tune anything to save my life. If you are interested in just getting tuned, get the chipped ECU and have a professional shop do it. Leave it to the people that know how now, and learn in the time being

 

i've been looking for a good book about engine managment, thanks!

 

Good tuning comes with practice, so good for you if you want to learn and at least you are doing it on your car and not someone else's. But Hondata wouldnt be my first choice, I would probably go with Crome or Uberdata
