Depending on tuner, you can expect your car to run like a champ.

iperez, I think you had a post about that recently. I still say ditch that JUN ECU, and go with Hondata/other ems so you can actually TUNE the car.

you'll notice a difference from tuning, on same hand, these mods don't make a whole lot of diffrerence.

Grab some cams and install the Hondata and you'll be on your way to 200 whp

I've never really understood the purpose of the S100.

Can anyone give me an example of a feature it has that can't be accomplished by simply chipping a stock ECU and keeping that $245 in your pocket? I'm not talking about buying some junk chip off ebay with an off-the-shelf program - but rather having a competent tuner tune the car and burn a custom chip.

if to compare s100 vs s200,
1. you'll be missing the following:
datalogging, 3-step, g-sensor
2. it doesn't require extrnal blue box, everything fits inside ecu.

uberdata somewhat does what you're talking about, but if you're not going to tune yourself, might as well go for hondata.

the problem is finding a tuner in Canada who is capable of making the car perform to it's max potential. That will be the hardest part of all.

Buying Hondata won't do **** unless you tune it right. Even then - you results will vary from tuner to tuner.

Find a great tuner before investing in Hondata.

I hear you !! I just tried the JUN ECU for the first time and I wasn't that impressed.. I guess I satisfied my desire to test the JUN ECU before moving on .. I want to make a few more adjustments and take the car to the dyno on the JUN ECU before I make a desicion but Hondata is definitely on my mind.

Spend the dough and get the S200 for the upgradability as others have mentioned.

Datalogging and G sensor are very useful options.

However if you have absolutely no intent to use this then, a S100 option is good, or a Techtom OBII re-program if you have a tuner who can do this.

Back to back comparision of a stock P73 versus a tuned S200 program is noticeable even with minor mods you have listed. Go for the Hondata if you plan to modify your car's motor in the future.
