I downloaded the s300 software from hondata to check it out. But i'm confused, there are low speed and high speed for ignition and boost, wondering how do I set things for my non vtec d16a6? Does it default to low speed?

Are low speed and high speed the same as off vtec and on vtec, or are they actually the speed at which the car is traveling?

Just use the low-cam setting. You are correct in thinking that low cam = off vtec and high cam = on vtec. It won't switch to the high cam maps because there's no reason for it to with a non-vtec motor.

 

Excellent. I'm new to hondata, AND don't know everything that you guys know from the old rom editor program. Now that i've got my bearings, I guess i'm good to go. One other question though, what about the spacing of the rpm's in the low cam and high cam maps?

In the low cam it has a lot more plots in low rpm, which is good for driveability, BUT in the high cam map it leaves out everything below 2500 and has more points for upper rpm driving. Should I just deal with the fact that I can only use the low cam map, or should I tweak the rpm points on the Y axis to different rpm's ???

I was planning on just leaving the rpms, but i'm gunna adjust the boost points, because I'm only boosting to 10 psi, and there are only like 3-5 columns from 0 to 10 psi, and I dont' need 60 psi on there. I figured the more columns between 0-10 will be more accurate then 1 psi, 3 psi, 7 psi 10.3 psi. YA KNOW?

Long winded, my bad. Thanks for the help.

 

You're smarter than you think. It is definitely a good idea to change the column headers, if you can, to get as much precision in the boost range as you can. As far as the RPM range goes, for the most part, more precision is needed at lower RPM to help with part throttle and all those touching things. If you want to space the RPM entries out a little bit, it might help higher RPM, but it's not absolutely critical.

 

im new to this website and i dont know how to post my question can any1 help? thanks

 

Hell yeah!!! Batting 1 for 2 now on s300 tuning. LOL

Yeah I figured I would want it to be as specific and spaced out for the boost parts. Basicaly i'm gunna scale all the columns past vacuume till column 24 to about 16 psi, even though i'm only going to have 10psi, once I do some changes to the internals, I don't want to have to rescale everything, but having the boost go up to 60psi is very pointless for my application.

Damn that autotuning feature looks sweet, does that work out well?

Well sure, with that kind of attitude....

Not sure about the autotuning feature, I'm not terribly familiar with the Hondata systems. My guess is if they put it in there, it works... You probably need a wideband in the car however. I'm sure someone with more Hondata smarts can help.

 

Well I know I gotta have a wideband, but I was just wondering how well it works, and if you had any success with it.

I'm buying a plx m-300 very soon.

 

I know on Crome you suppose to leave the last "boost" column untouch, ie, if you have a 3 BAR map sensor, then last column can't read 1.5 Bar, it has to stay at 3BAR.

Is this true for Hondata S300 as well?

I'll be using the S300 with the GM 3 Bar, but I'll only boosting 18PSI max, that's why I ask

 

For those of you running a non-vtec boosted motor that want more resolution in the higher rpm's, you can either change the scalars, or just set the vtec switchover, disable the check for the spool valve and the oil pressure switch, and use the high cam maps for more resolution..

 

Oh hell yeah. RESOLUTION HERE WE NON-VTEC BIOTCHES COME.

Non-Vtec rules, lol

Better listen to this man. He knows his stuff.

Oh whatever, n00b.

I didn't think to disable the checks for all that and tune both maps as if they were one, that's good thinking.
