wow man

I could not understand or comprehend anything you were trying to say, so ill give you some random answer.

Yes it is true that the flux capacitor has changed the automotive industry, but Donald Duck said it would, and Mickey Mouse agreed thoroughly. So to answer your question a flux capacitor can change your life.

just dont eat it

Donald Duck is an idiot. :p

yeah Donald Duck is an idiot.. he always creates these thoughts of flux capacitors.. after all Doc told Marty that it would work, then it blew up in their faces in the Wild West.. Steam Trains are the way to go!!

DASTEK appears to be a South African company that have piggyback system called unichip. Unichip can vary the timing and mixture away from stock according to you rneeds. If you believe the internet, people have used them with good results on XR6Ts.

I would say the DASTEK is probably as good as the guy running the dyno to tune it. It seems to work with OBDII as well.

Hondata is also basically a piggyback system (it uses a Honda OBD1). The advantage I see Hondata having is that they are designed for Hondas and thus will (a) work with minimal heartache, and (b) should involve less time on the dyno tuning it – ie they have some idea on how they will vary the stock tune beforehand.

My only concern would be that it doesn’t appear that many Honda people use DASTEK, this means you are breaking new ground.

Lastly, you need to talk to someone who knows more about this stuff.

thx 26ounce..hehe...i will try my best to find out more for our members...

[madjace]

I am pretty sure that hondata is more than just a piggy back sustem in that most piggy back system allow you to change a/f ratio only

james should give you a better answer any minute now

[tanghy]

don't think unichip can control ivtec

[X8TEENX]

so this unichip only can control the a/f only??useless....then i rather get vafc2

[pornstar]

unichip controls a/f and ignition timing. For obd2 or obd1 cars they work and work well.

Long before chips like hondata/proecu/uberdata and other freewares were around, they were used with great results on many track hondas. They are great value and work well. If your in melbourne, theres a couple of cars that run them that i can show u.

[j0nbubz]

get a vafc2! =)

[X8TEENX]

vafc2 can only control a/f and vtec timing right...how hondata k100 doing...is it can be tuned???

Hehe hmm lol the blind leading the blind !

Dastek is the international name for APS Engineering, a company located in Croydon, they APS sell Unichip out here in Australia. Unichip and VAFC does not control iVTEC (variable cam angle position) and according to APS’s website they only support a few Honda’s (b16 and b18c engine cars)

Unichip does have the advantage over a VAFC as it does control ignition timing, where as the VAFC doesn’t. Although you need to be a Uni Chip dealer to tune or modify any Unichip product, to become a dealer you need to pay a fee each year.. which person I think suxs for smaller workshops.
The definition of a piggyback ECU is a system that intercepts singles from the stock ECU, and changes the voltage / single from the output wire and sends a different single down the same line.
At standalone system is a ECU which controls your car directly ie not interrupting any singles, this in-fact even makes your stock ECU a standalone ECU, even thow in stock form its not programmable.

Hondata takes in some cases takes the clients stock ECU and we physically rebuild it, adding in extra parts making the stock standalone ECU programmable. We don’t intercept any wires or change any sensors / wiring, unless the stock sensors don’t suit the application ie map sensor and boost. This is the case for some b d and h solutions, for the K engine it’s a totally different kettle of fish again.

The hondata K100 is fully programmable in every possible aspect, vtec, ivtec, cam control fuel ignition and many other features.

Hope that information helps
