As the topic says what kind of EMS did you use and why? What was your set up?

 

chipped p28 on crome cause its free well.... the chipped p28 was like 175 from phearable.net.

 

I have a spare PR4 that I was thinking about having chipped but I'm interested in exploring other options. How hard was it to tune with Chrome?

 

i actually got a fuel map from MrWonderful but theres plenty of tuners that will tune crome for you. personally i don't know how hard it would be to DIY tune it on crome.

 

94 accord, built h22a turbo. Using a apexi power fc with a obd I to IIa conversion harness.

 

Forgot to answer the why part. Originally I had a p28 chipped with hondata. But it never really idled right and it felt sluggish compared with the apexi. Apexi's idle was a lot smoother and the shop had more control of tuning parameters.

 

using a chipped P28 with CROME duh

 

how hard is it to do a conversion? plug and play?

 

It's plug and play, pending the year of your accord, if it's a 94-95 then you need the obd I to IIa conversion harness, like $75 then the power fc plugs right in.

 

why spend all that money on a power fc when you can achive the same result ALOT cheaper with crome????

the fc has a commander where you can tune it rather than hooking it up to a computer.. and gives you a more accurate defined tune.

 

bump

 

Cost? How much is a Crome set up versus ECTune?

I know this...I was saying for a simple setup you'll be more than fine using crome...and you cant beat the price it's FREE

Minus the cost of chipping the ECU.

What tools are needed to tune?

 

I think I may have replied to this thread in the f/i forum but not here so... I will.

I run a p28 and hondata.

 

how do i tune the p28 chipped? does it have a USB that hooks up to my laptop or do i have to take out the chip itself to burn it?

i have to take my chip out but ive heard there is an ostrich that you can get so its just a usb hook up.

 

If your car is a 96 it's obd II. Just check to see if it's 2a or b. If it's 2a then you do not need the harness and you can plug it right in.
