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.

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

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.

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)???

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>?????????????????

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.
