MoTEC,ViPEC, Engine Lab, GEMS, Haltech, AEM (copied GEMS and Engine Lab designs for the standard ems and infinity system) and of course, stock honda ecu's

Re: Best ecus?
sending an aem map to a hondata ecu? won't work... at all. two entirely different softwares
you'd have to manually input the values from the AEM map into the Hondata tables... and you'll have one major issue. The AEM EMS has larger resolution tuning maps (more breakpoints) than the Hondata does, so it wouldn't really work that well in the first place, as you'd have huge gaps in the entered data that the Hondata software would have to interpolate between cells

Re: Best ecus?
and we gave you names
the only ecus that are a "plug in" unit would be the AEM EMS, AEM Infinity, chipped obd1 p28/p72, Hondata S300 (uses an obd1 honda ecu)
The rest like MoTec, ViPEC, HALTECH, EngineLab, Megasquirt 3, Megasquirt 3 Pro, Link, etc all require a totally new harness (some come with a flying lead harness that isn't terminated) so you would have to build the harness for each of the above mentioned ECUs to have them work.... They don't use stock ecu plugs.
And if your car is OBD2 then that means you have to remove the custom harness and replace it with the stock ecu so you can pass emissions. You might be able to make an adapter harness to have the custom harness plug up to the stock ecu but you would have to replace every aftermarket/upgraded sensor with stock ones and you would have to splice in the OBD2 data port in order to pass emissions
you need to tell us what you budget is, what kind of "Honda" you're building (make, model, year), what you intend to do with the car, a full modification list, etc before we can even suggest an appropriate Engine Management System

Re: Best ecus?
That isn't going to help you. Simply knowing the names (without understanding functionality and pros/cons) is completely worthless...
-Hondata s100
-Hondata s200
-Hondata s300
-Neptune RTP
-Crome
-Crome Pro
-AEM
-Haltech
-KPro
-Megasquirt
-Motec
-Uberdata
-etc...
^^See how "useful" that was...

from aem to aem.
In hondata u can send maps to hondata.
Is that with aem the same?
Re: Best ecus?
Yes you can upload maps to a different aem ems. if that's what youre trying to say.
I can send you my map via email you can upload it to your ems and run it.
If its an older version map and you have a newer firmware you just have to convert the cal. its in the tabs on the top of the screen in aem tuner.
