I'd recommend something plug n play but the guys in the US have recently developed plug n play looms for the Haltech so not a bad option.

Otherwise, AEM or Hondata but only if you can find tuners that are experienced in them with the S2000.

Wait for the first week or March and have your car tuned by Mase.

Ahhh, so you wanted cheap.

You picked the wrong car.

If you aren't prepared to spend a $1000 to buy it and at least another grand to tune it I'd suggest you not bother.

The most popular and widely tuned is AEM. The easiest is <insert useless piggyback name here>. And the cheapest is <ditto>.

Yup totally picked the wrong car for cheap tunings. My vote is for the AEM series 2, but you will have slim chance of finding a tuner with experience.

I didn't say I want a cheap ECU... I want the cheapest of the bunch and one that those tuners are familiar with...

I guess that's the price to pay to tune a brilliant machine even more brilliant

So you guys recommend this then

Would tuners with AEM series 1 knowledge know how to tune with this ECU???

The tuning software was totally rewritten for the series 2. A lot of the same functions are there but presented in different places.

Having experience with the series 1 would definitely be a plus.
