Noob question about hondata.

[tmracing83]

Sooo lookin into the hondata s200 or something like that. My question is would it be pointless to buy a hondata chip if the only thing done to my enigine is cai. Would it be pointless to chip it till I get like headers and exhaust and a better intake manifold, etc. I plan I getting hearders over time ofciurse but I kinda wanna keep the stock gsr exhaust so it's like a sleeper kinda lol. So say I just had intake. Would I have to buy a aftermathet ecu? And would it be point to chip it with only intake. Cause I'm sure with only intake u could chip it with hondata chip and get it tuned and still some so good numbers change.(hp/tq) you can see where I'm getting with this. What's ur input? Yeh it's a noon question but don't hate.

for CAI i wouldnt worry about a chipped ecu. for H/I/E u can get a chipped p28. then have it tuned by scotty or by scotty. for less than half the hondata price. it will still do the same thing.

better yet just pm scotty

I see you have a hard time spelling all that.

Ya I'm on my iPhone, it corrects spelling web the spelling is already correct so it's really messing it all up but yea thanx for the unimportant, useless input, barefoot, thanks for the help. Ur prolly one of the most helpfull people on ia

Ok so once I have squires headers and exhaust. What would be you opinion on the best chip setup, a 01 gsr don't have a p28 ecu on it does it? I've got no clue. Wish I did. Bout to go hit google up lol but what chip setup y'all think how the best number on a 01 gsr b18c1.

[Barefoot]

vafc or convert to obd1

u dnt need a ecu, unless u change alot of things when u start changing up things then you would wanna go with a s300 its around 500-600 but its well worth it and it comes with a cd that u can put your own base map on it...but as of now..if u wanna change it then get a chipped p28 for now

since you're 2001 then you need an obd2b-obd1 conversion harness...get it from www.boomslang.us they are they best quality and one of the least expensive. chipped p28. i have tuned 1000's of honda/acuras and i have plenty of gsr maps that'll work for your setup as you have it.

you can get some gains out of it w/ just a cai, but you will get even more gains out of it w/ ihe than just having the cai. you could get away w/ waiting to tune it until after you go ihe.

also, it sounds like you want to get the job done on a budget...i wouldn't suggest spending the extra $ at this moment on hondata. you can get the job done just as well w/ a chipped p28 running crome.

feel free to give me a call if you have any questions. 678-614-3596.

I wouldn't get the hondata with just I/H/E, use that money and take it to mainstream.

[tmracing83]

I wish I had the money. As soon as I do though it's going up there.
Might be a minute though... sadly
