hondata...does it make a difference

[shanesk888]

hey guys, maybe there is a thread about hondata's but i cant seem to find the answer to my question, anyway my question is.......

Would a Hondata s200 + tuned make a significant difference if my car is pretty much stock??, only thing ive done is custom intake, headers, hiflow cat and 2.5inch catback. by the way i have a 98 vti-r integra!!!! thanks

and and im new lol so dont b hard on me!!!!

[destrukshn]

yes it would.
drive much nicer
better throttle reponse, should make more power throughout the whole rev range.
and probabyl better on fuel.

[shanesk888]

thanks for the reply dude, umm yea kool, have you done a ecu upgrade on your car?? would u say its worth the odd 1500 dollars for the upgrade on my car??

i would like to different opinions and expieriences people have had with ecu upgrades!!!! thanks again

[destrukshn]

yah, i have a hondata s100 in my car, the difference it made, made it worth it.
where did you get that qoute at?

[[ricer]]

its expensive for him cause obd2
if ur car was obd1... bargain lol

[destrukshn]

thats right, has to buy a conversion harness and another ecu.

[shanesk888]

i havnt got a quote yet, i was just going on hondatech prices, so wat u guys are trying to say is that i have to get a different wiring harness(how much does that cost??) or/and a different ecu(not a s200)???

[ricki_kalsi]

Just do a PowerFC, they are cheap!

Don't expect massive gains as such, just more response throughout the rev range, and smoother transition into VTAK attack.

[shanesk888]

going back to my question lol???

itr tuned vs standard ecu should answer your question.

get a hondata...........makes a massive improvement, and no you dont need any further wiring, it is plug and play...................
what state are you in>?????????????????

[vincikwan]

hondata is good if you have the mods, i think by putting it on a stock car its just like any Power FC or even the VAFC. The VAFC is really underestimated.

In short, if u wanna do heavy mods, better off getting hondata or PFC. If you just plan to stop at I/H/E, VAFC does the job. Just find a good tuner. I got 9kw gained on my totally stock dc2r after tuning at chasers.

cant u just reset the ecu and that make the breathing mods work better?

Definately reset the ECU after you do a Mod.It does make the car run better/smoother.I feel it's a must.But running Hondata or emanage will give you a significant gain even on a stock engine.The factory ECU tune,well that factory not modified.The guys in the US ALL run aftermarket programs for the ECU,here it still seems quite a missunderstood topic.

It will also make your car run a lot smoother too.It shows in the dyno graph in the link on the previous page.A nice smooth curve vs a bumpy line.

is there other ways to do this though like afc...

what if i was to goto a turbo option.... i was told most ecus (for turbo setups) make the injectors double the fuel injected when boosting...

[beeza]

What engine is this on A-man?

ive just relocated the battery to the boot today thats one mod u will have to do... how u run cooler piping and how badly u want a/c and p/s limits ur turbo size manifold size and cooler piping runing

some people have managed to keep the lot... im planning on doing the same
