Haltech or Hondata which one do you guys like better, and when are these systems really needed?

Also please elaborate on the different features each one offers!!!

Thanks in Advance!!!!

 

hondata for the street car and haltech e6k for street/strip warrior more strip than street though.

 

agreed.

 

Hondata...get one from sgt.

 

Hondata 2b or 3b for a good running street machine. If you want the tuneability of the 4b, I would get the Haltech instead. Cheaper and more features.

 

Who's SGT?

Put me in contact with him, cause I want a Hondata setup.

hondata easyer to work with

 

For a Honda, it has to be Hondata!!!!

 

I'd have to say haltech. If you don't change stuff in your car every week, then there is no need to retune the ECU all the time, so i'd say get it all done with the Haltech. Sure hondata is easier to use, but the haltech is much more sophisticated, and has more features (i also believe its smarter than a Hondata, since it can be used with any engine, not just honda's). Be different for a change. Get a Haltech. I have friends running around with MoTeC, Haltech, and MicroTech EMU's in their daily driven cars, and they never have any problems, so I guess its got to be good on the street too, not just for drag.

 

My Haltech install article with comparison to the Hondata Stage 4b.

haltech is much better if you know of a tuner. doing it on your own is possible but dangerous and time/money consuming (dyno is a must)

Go Hondata, dont be like ****** Clark.

Its the new Haltech loving, hating Hondata bandwagon. All aboard!

Being a tuner for both systems, Haltech is far more advanced. I achieved good WOT/partial throttle drivability when I used Haltech for a year. The little things such as start up, idle maps, etc where a constant choir to tune. When the temperature dropped outside 20 degrees I found myself fiddling with the maps day in and day out. I always had my laptop connected and in the car when I drove it for the fact that something was always needing adjusting on the partial throttle/idle/temp maps. The WOT/boost maps were great, but those are the easiest to tune. I eventually wanted something simple, and basic to control the timing and fuel so I switched to Hondata. For a street car you cant beat Hondata. For a track car where you need to control many more aspects of your fuel/timing/etc mapping any advanced EMS system will provide greater adjustability over the Hondata unit. Track cars generally dont have to consider idling, start-up, etc in the same manner as would a street car.
