Hey guys. I have done a decent amount of reading and I haven't found any way to tune my NA s2000 w/o having something cheaper than an AEM EMS. Hondata is my prefered choice but at this point, I don't want to pay over 2 grand just to tune my NA s2000. I know I won't gain much but I just want my car to run as smooth as possible. I was looking at the aem FIC but I haven't heard anything too good about it on NA applications. Do v-tec controllers allow me to add/subtract fuel? I would assume you can't adjust timing with them. I really don't want to spend over 500 bucks just for NA tuning. I was going to go turbo but I don't have the extra cash laying around and I want to buy a house so turbo is out of the question for now. Any help would be great. Even a simple flash would be great if its offered. Thanks...

 

What year model do you have? If you have an '00-'01 with basic bolt-ons, you can get significant gains from a VAFC (or NEO). You'll still benefit from a VAFC on an '02-'05, but not as signficant. If you have an '06+, then the obvious choice is the Hondata FlashPro.

 

What year do you have?

for a 00-05..get a used AEM EMS....
for 06 +...FlashPro

the EMS are soooooo worth the extra money

Go with an EMS or nothing at all.

 

Greddy e-manage ultimate is always an option also, it is a piggyback though.

 

The AEM FIC (also piggyback) can only retard timing. If ur NA and in the mkt for a piggyback, get the emanage since it can do both fuel/timing. If u buy a house, chances are u'll need to buy stuff to put in the house so turbo may be a ways away. I'd say get the EMU since u can use it for mild turbo apps later. Another option is the VAFC which is cheaper and u can re-sell it later down the road when ur ready to go EMS and turbo.

 

I have a 2004. Is a tune necessary if I have an air intake, header, high flow cat, and Greddy Spectrum Elite?

Will it be worth the money? Will there be gains to justify the price of the EMS + tune?

Thanks.

 

just get kpro... u wont be dissapointed and thats 2k u wont have to spend when it comes to buying your turbo..

Hondata very smartly designed their software so with a bit of engine knowledge u may even be able to adjust your own tune...

I know that I added kpro to my old F20 motor and was bummed I didnt do it earlier, the ability to tune a motor no matter how stock it is makes it that much more drivable. plus its like making any engine mod u buy from now on that much better.

 

We had a 100% bone stock 2004 on KPro ( he had planned on going FI ) make

228hp and 162tq....on a cool run

220hp and 155tq on hot runs


whether it is Kpro or AEM EMS or FlashPro for DBW cars


EMS IS THE BEST MOD YOU CAN DO

 

What were the numbers without an EMS?
