what do i need to get to set up my laptop to monitor my engine performece and make ajustment and where do i get everything ???

 

Get a Hondata S300 and P28 ECU running OBD1. If you have a K series then get the K-Pro. Really depends on what your setup is though.

Good idea if you want to spend thousands of dollars.

Get a socketed (chipped) P28 ECU is your first order of business. In order to datalog(monitor engine performance), you will need this.

Next, you will need some parts. You will need the datalogging port on the ECU soldered on as well. Most chipped/socketed ECU's have this already done.

I bought my parts from http://www.moates.net, but there are other places as well. You will need the datalogging cable, a laptop with USB or a Serial connection, and the software.

As far as software goes, if you want to go with the cheapest possible route, use ECU Control and Crome. Both are free and will allow you to adjust your ECU and monitor and log engine parameters.

Oh, and a wideband O2 sensor is recommended too. HIGHLY recommended.

I agree.

Check out this site as well. He sells moates.net stuff also and there are some great write-ups and stuff.

You will need chipped ecu most likely P28, Cable (usb or serial) from ecu to PC, Recommend an Ostrich instead of a chip. If you get a chip then you may need a chip burner to change your tune. I am leaning more towards the innovative LC-1 instead of LM-1 though for my personal reasons.

You can order straight from moates or xenocron.

Definately say crome or cromepro. pgmfi.org is your best bet for advice and guidance and the guys there are no bullshit like most on H-T have become.

Good Luck. I am typing this on my dell 600 I just got so I am testing it out before I mount it permanately in my car.

Wireless internet soon to come

 

thanks for the info guys

 

The only thing I feel to add is that a P28 isn't a requirement. There are several different OBD1 ECU's that will also work. It is a good generic ECU, available for a resonable price.
