Because id rather use neptune on the s if I could.and no my prelude is factory obd1 most obd0 and obd2 cars convert to obd1 because the for some reason obd2 cars wont hold a tune. Im trying to get in touch w. Some local friends to figure a better answer for u.and will be in touch
I'm interested to hear more about OBDII not holding a tune. I would like to understand why this may happen.

I'll probably search for it at some point but this is my one day off this week. I have more important things to do.

There's a reason a car that was produced for 8 years was never converted to Obd1 - because there was and never will be a need to. If you want s300, get kpro or flash pro. They do 99% of everything s300 can do.

If it is some hacked together solution, it won't hold a tune
If its a standalone for the S, you would need to really break it or not install properly to get it to not hold a tune
Theres no reason obdii wont hold tune and obdi will, sounds like theres a makeshify solution if someone has an unnecessary hardon for obdi and an irrational fear of newer technology

i would still rather run obd1... i havnt looked into it but i think if you installed a distributor in a custom way it woudnt be that difficult to run odb1 rather than try and incorporate the cop with obd1 setup

Bahahaha the facepalm ish was mad funny bahaha.and no no dizzy. Now after gathering and gathering it seems to be this conclusion. You can't or shouldn't chip and tune an obd2 ecu like u can an obd1 ecu.when u do an obd2 car u need a piggyback or standalone.where obd1 u can run a chipped ecu and tune cheaper and easyer for alot of people vs a standalone w. Similar if not all benefits. When people do chip an obd2 ecu the reason it wont hold tune is cause it still retains the factory obd2 whateer and tries to correct itself because the tune placed onto the chip isn't right and thus wont hold the tune.
Im still trying to learn more on it.but it seems to be general concensus.

another example: someone gets an rsx, and sends their ecu to hondata. Hondata opens the ecu and modifies/chips it, making it into a kpro. The kpro is then tuned. guess what the ecu is going to tell the car and what the car is going to do...
Exactly what was programmed!
you are getting a lot of different half assed ideas mixed up.
