is there an affordable solution to get a more performance oriented chip/computer in the s2000? all i've seen so far is the greddy and the aem, and those cost between 1000-2000. just curious if those are the only alternatives to stock?? Thanks in advance.

 

no

 

You can't buy a "chip" as the stock ECU cannot swap it's chip out or have it re-programmed. It's not cheap to buy a complete stand alone ECU.

 

does the way that the s2000's ecu is set up negate the possibility of a reflash from hondata from being feasible too?

 

Yes. Rumours has it that the '06 S2000 "might" be different, but this is ONLY a rumour.

 

thanks for the info, it's going to suck having to wait to come up with so much money...

 

I talked to doug over at hondata, he said he'd be willing to adapt a standalone ecu for the s2000 somewhat like KPRO. The only issue is you wont see gains like they do on the K series engine.

 

haha...what's the point if there are no gains??

 

The stock PCM is allready aggressively tuned. Unless you have some pretty serious mods NA (ITB's, big camshafts) or have gone to a FI application there isn't much to be gained.

The 06 PCM is going to be a totally different animal due to several systems not being compatible between the 00-05 cars. (DBW, VSA, etc)

 

I meant there would be no gains from just the ecu, you'll need supporting mods to make it worth wild. But you still wont see gains like you would on a B/K series.
