Hondata, Phearable.net, Xenocron.com, who do you trust?

[Docta2002]

All I can say for now is that all 3 companies have a horrible customer service. I cannot get a hold of ONE single human over the phone. WTF ever happened to customer service over the phone???

Anyways, I need my S100 non-boost installed in a USDM OBD1 P28. I dont know if the ECU is VTEC or not, nor if it's manual or auto, hence one of the reaons I wanna talk rather than write.

Idk what point I should have my VTEC kick in, dont know what would be better/best when it comes to setting RPM limit, etc.

Some of these companies offer 2-step launch, CEL shift-light and again, I have no idea where these should or would be better set at.

My whole engine is new and I never used it so idk how much more will I be peeling out at launch fopr example.

I'm going high compression... The freakin $340 CP pistons (which I thought were a good deal) are costing me an additional $600-$700. ($350 tunnin, $85/h dyno-time, $75-$125 chipping service, $150 fuel pump+regulator)


ANYWAYS....................

So who do you trust of the companies in the title??

Sorry you couldnt get a hold of us on the phones we have one line and we can barely manage that...I have thought about adding more, but that means hiring and training more people, unfortunately...that isnt an option at the moment.

You can email me directly with questions, chrisharrs -AT- xenocron.com or our customer service email customerservice -AT- xenocron.com

Lots of info on the site as well for your convenience...basically anything you need can be looked at and ordered right online.

For the phone, we are only here 9-5pm Monday thru Friday EASTERN Time as well...

I have had nothing but GOOD experiences with John Vega from Phearable.net

I havent had 1 problem with Xenocron, as for your dilemma, your local tuner will have the right answers for you regarding your set up..If your running an S100 i would stick to hondata, but if your running a socketed/chipped ECU then you can go to whatever company u like and trust. My

Just came up with a very important question...

Since I'm switching from OBD2->OBD1, besides the harness, do I also need an OBD1 distributor? If so, from which car can I use one from (i.e. what to buy)? And besides the harness and the possible distributor change, do I need to change anything else because of going OBD1?

and one more thing,
If the changes to my build result in my knock sensor being disabled, do I still need to screw it in? If yes, then I should just NOT plug the plug in, right? or do I plug it and dont worrie about it?

You just need the harness and obd1 ecu to convert. http://www.clubcivic.com/board/showthread.php?t=74557

As for the knock sensor, I would just leave it in there wired up. It gets disabled from the ecu so there is no need to unplug it.
