Hondata - Honda ECU Modification and Enhancement

and fyi, it's tuning Hondas

 

Top 3 under ~$600, listed from most expensive, to least expensive. In general, each vendor below offers a single system capable of tuning for B/D/H/F. K or S2000 F-series are different systems, and Hondata would be the only one in my listing to support those two.

Hondata - $
Neptune - $
Crome - $ or free

With tuning friend's cars in mind, pay attention to licensing. However, Crome is free, and with it, you can tune as many cars as you like. For free, it's main disadvantage is datalogging. But there are ways, if you are willing to make it work (Lots of people have).

Someone just posted this in other thread... would help you:

thanks for your help there is just so much fmore for the hondas then there ever was for the old cavaliers when i was in to them and my firebird i used my buddys software but i did the tunning well we both did it but he left me do most since i always did my cavi and used his dyno then and help him with some othter cavaliers ours were always data log and see how it ran make changes and reburn the chip but hondas seem to have more on the fly

 

Rock on, rock on. Yup, Hondas are popular. Cheap. Efficient. Fun.

You're way late to the party, so there's lots of leftovers to be had. And the good news is, the band is still playing, and innovations continue.

 

yeah im way late but always liked my american made motors witch is a joke all made over sees lol but im really likeing what im seein in the hondas

 

What systems have you used in the past exactly? If you have used EFILive, HPTuners, TunerCats, etc, then any of the afore mentioned platforms will be a BREEZE. The Honda ECU based interfaces are extremely simple compared to other EMS out there. There is a down and dirty discussion about the main three Honda ECU based EMS out there... take a look:

You will find plenty of negatives on CROME if you search. The largest being no support and how John Cui messes with people making versions expire. Unless you ABSOLUTELY can't afford to pay money for a system and already have everything needed for CROME you are much, MucH, MUCH better off going HONDATA or NepTune.

NepTune is much more cost effective, just as capable, and WAY more supported and updated than HONDATA. With that being said I have HONDATA S300 V3 units... I almost never open my CROME Dealer anymore since most people want a more current system these days.
