hondata

[SickEk]

well guyz when i bought my car it had hondata installed on it. Now I got a laptop and am ready to start tinkering. What all do I need to do this? If I plug it up to the ecu will it pop up or do I need to get a cd to install on my laptop. Thanx for the help and sorry for the noobish question

S200? S300? If it's S300, the software is at Hondata.com. It installs drivers for you. If it's S200 you need to buy the software. If it's S100, you can't datalog so you might as well have your tuner make the changes.

it is just a usb cable that hooks it all up correct? I got the software on here and it works so i just got to hook it up

 

[HRTuning]

Again, it depends what model you have. If it's USB then it's the S300 and yes, just connect it to the computer.

 

[SickEk]

yes it is the S300 and I just looked and it is the usb cable. Hopefully tonight I will be tuning a little

ok ththe ecu doesnt have a usb connector but a square one. I know it isnt a s200 cuz there is on interface box. Anyone have any ideas as to what it is?

If it looks like the connector on the left it IS a usb plug. That sort of plug is extremely common with USB cables. If you have a USB printer 99% of the time the printer will have that end on it.

im gonna go check my printer cord haha. Dont use it anyway. Thanx for the help

He pretty much took the cake. It's hardware that after installed, can be used with some type of device(laptop usually) and is used to make the car run it's best.

If you don't know what you are doing you shouldn't really tinker with anything until you educate your self on how to tune etc :-)

Just friendly advice.

I couldn't agree more.

If you want to learn how to do it yourself your best bet is to find a tuner that is willing to teach you (pretty rare).

i just set rev limiter and launch control. nothing big because i dont know how to do all that. its a dd so trust me i wont mess with anything i dk

is it stock? dont touch the fuel or ignition maps as thats the fastest way to kill your motor.

#1 modder mistake to cause issues with their cars is trying to tune with no educaion or experience
-- This was something I picked up out of Import Tuner some time ago

Proceed with caution

so how do you learn? if a tuner is not willing to teach you were thr f do you learn ?? i was thinking of getting s300 and bosting a single and just see how it goes am sure once i get the idea its all down hill from there i dont think you'll need a masters to tune right

i guess i would try changing the values in small amounts to see how it reacts
