Hondata S300 is the best way to go IMO. S200 still is a good option although I would make sure it has datalogging and boost control

E-manage is still a piggyback, it has less precision and accuracy.

Chrome's good but you need to go to a dyno and have a new chip burned anytime you want to change anything. also, not all shops have chip burners. Hondata will allow you to do some street tuning to accomodate new mods. Emanage is okay but greddy just went bankrupt so the support might not be there. Another problem is most tuners are not familar with hooking up and tuning with emanage. I would stick with hondata. Stick with hondata.

The S200 was discontinued wasn't it? The Hondata S300 is awesome. I hope to save up for one eventually. That Hondata piece would polish off my eventuall n/a build.

And if you found one, itd be cheaper because it'd be used..... Unless it's more expensive for being discontinued. lol

Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Conneticut and Rhode Island = New England.

I recommend going to TDC Tuning in Concord, N.H. www.tdctuning.com
I had my NA build done there, they chipped my ECU too. They have a dyno.

ive got a motor lined up for me this weekend... you're going to need an obd2 to obd1 harness and then an obd1 ecu so u can run either crome, uber, or the hondata series of egine management systems... i need to find out if this motor im buying is an obd1 or obd2 motor... if its and obd2, i can give u my harness and chip u a basemap to run ur gsr turbo setup until u can tune..

dont doubt crome for what it is... its honestly a decent program, and very good bang for the buck...

keep contacting me with what you'd like to do... i understand how worried you are at this point, but i wont try and burn you... i understand how frustrating things are when u first get into this turbo game...

if u dont like having to burn over and over, there's always the option of Ostrich...
