Do your self a favor:
Spend the money on a hondata s300 or neptune rtp, plug it into your laptop & start tuning. Painless & the software doesn't have bugs.
AEM ems and Haltech are also good options.

Concerning Hondata's counterfeit products effected a very small amount of people, primarily k-pros.
It is the people that bought used too good to be true deals that were screwed!
If you bought your Hondata brand new from a dealer like Phearable.net you would have nothing to worry about.

ye thats true it would benefit over the others but me and my friends cant just pop out 400-500 a piece you know
im a noob at this so i want to start out basic and when i learned how to chip and tune ill be doing this for my friends too.we live in a small town and finding a street tuner or a shop is not that easy and price is not cheap
i believe once i got the experience ill lay hands on an expensive product lol

Crome is dead and eCtune seems to be on its way out. I'm either going to switch to Neptune or go to a universal EMS since I'd like to wire one up from scratch.

neptune would be my suggestion. James is always on top of his game.

Did you miss the part of my post where I mentioned Neptune? Of course Hondata is still fine. They're a company that actively works on their ****.
