hey everyone. i'm new to this forum and could use a LOT of help. I know next to nothing about car relative to what most of you know, so i WILL sound retarded. anyways, here's my question. I recently bought a 2000 si and was wondering if anyone could recommend a good ems that will fit my needs. here's a rundown of the modifications: greddy turbo kit w/fmic. greddy bov, edelbrock intake manifold, aem cam gears and underdrive pulleys, fidanza lightweight flywheel, walbro fp, aem fuel rail and fpr, built bottom end w/je pistons and eagle rods. now i was thinking of going w/hondata s200 or 300. is this a reasonable option if i want to make 400 whp? i am currently running a crappy greddy emanage. lmk what you think. thanks.

 

Go with hondata s300!! it's going to cost about 550 but it's worth every penny!!! you will have to have your ecu socketed!!!

 

Neptune RTP.

 

so let's get this straight. once i buy an s300 or neptune (or aem ems-which i've always heard is the best) i still have to take my ride to a dynotuner, correct? or does it come pre-programmed to fit my needs according to modifications and boost level (plug and play)? thanks much again. also- do if i buy a used s300 and it is already programmed for a vehicle with a different setup, can i still have it reprogrammed to fit my needs? thanks much again.

 

You need to have it dyno tuned. You can have a basemap made to get your car to the tuner. I would suggest finding a tuner and using what he is comfortable tuning.

 

could anyone recommend a good tuner in the upper midwest? (wisconsin, mn, illinois, iowa, michigan?) who is the best honda tuner in the country? i've heard a lot about evans tuning. you guys think it's worth the 1000 mile trip?

 

Evans is a very reputable tuner, if you are willing to make the trip then you will not be dissapointed. (http://www.evans-tuning.com/) If it were my car, I would find somebody closer though.

 

Your best bet is to find a good tuner first, and ask him what to get.
