YOu can use either one, depending on what options you want. They both do the same thing, the s200 just has more options.

i need an ecu with boost option. because i'm gonna turbocharge it

Can you tune with hondata very well ? i mean..... can you see what part is rich...and what part is lean ?

i like a s200 system with boost and 3 step rev limiter - launch control and full throttle shift.

Is it easy to install these options on my car ? (rev limiter - launch control and full throttle shift ? )

Do you still have tu use a dyno with these produkts ?

Do i have to send my ecu to hondata so they can prepare it for me ?

or get i a complete new one ?

thx again

If money is an issue, spring for the S100...It's less expensive but you can't tune it yourself, and it doesn't come with all the bells and whistles.

You'll want the S200 if you plan on tuning yourself, or if you want launch control, hondalogger, etc.

Hondata will not show you rich/lean conditions. You will need to purchase a Wideband Lambda meter for this. Hondata allows you to tune according to the output of the lambda meter, but it does not give the lambda value itself.

Personally, I think the install is a cinch. If one takes their time and is careful when working, even the least electrical savvy person should be able to do this.

Dyno tuning is incredibly productive, but not necessary. Many people do a street tune.

You can either send in your ECU for socketing, or do it yourself if you have decent circuit soldering skills. You can also buy pre-socketed ECU's from hondata .
