Re: looking to upgrade my ecu
thing is with neptune not everyone tunes it , of coarse everyone will have there own likes but as far as availability of being able to find a tuner who knows how to use it properly hondata is the one. i have never been to a single dyno who tunes sport compacts that dont tune hondata.

Think about it this way.
If your tuning software/hardware fails and your engine has a major mechanical failure due to defective equipment who will offer support?
With all of these cheap or FREE tuning options out there who can even come close to Hondata's service, research and development, and technical support?
Not one.
With that said, if you have a stock car or just bolt-on's I'd go with the S100 setup. If you have a bit more done and are in need of data logging and the like then the S300 is the way to go.
Personally, the S300 is the best option for any serious "tuner". Being able to data log, run emulators, the access to expansive options and support, tuning yourself, and then the plain fact you're rocking top-shelf Hondata should be all the reason to shoot for the S300.

Tech support is a good thing to have though, but not needed in most cases.
The S100 Hondata system is just a copyright key. Hondata has added a few lines of code so that the ECU looks for the S100 board when the ECU starts up. If it isn't there, it throws a CEL and won't function fully. It's their way of making sure that they get paid for making software and to prevent piracy. Very smart.
