Take a look at the money you'd be investing on an obsolete product:

Whatever you spend on the S200 + ECU

PLUS you'd need:

$175 - An Ostrich Real-Time Emulator for real-time tuning
$85 - Chip burner if you want to burn a chip in the end instead of leaving your Ostrich plugged in
$195 - The Hondata ROMEditor 4 Software

A better solution with more features than the S200 w/ ROMEditor 4 would be a NepTune RTP for $399 or a Hondata S300 for $495 (You can probably find it cheaper). You're spending that amount of money anyway. Good luck!

You may be able to find a dealer that will hook you up, but... who knows
