Best tuning solution

[TYNMDYS]

Alright, so. I have $450 saved up and a steady guaranteed $200 into savings every week. This summer, I plan to use this money to turbo my 1994 Del Sol Si with a JDM D15b VTEC swap. I understand the mechanics of turboing, but what's the best tuning solution?

There's a SAFC NEO for sale on ebay for $250. Is this the way to go? Or should I have my virgin P28 chipped and use Hondata or the like?

hondata is without a doubt much better than the SAFC.

Right, but to run hondata won't it cost me a fortune? Like $100 to have my ECU chipped and another $500 for the Hondata itself?

When we sell an s300 unit, we give the customer the option of sending in a stock obd1chippable ecu and we will install the s300 free of charge at the time of the order. I imagine other Hondata dealers do the same thing.

There are many other options, who will be tuning this car? If you don't plan on tuning it yourself, find a tuner and see what they prefer to use. Not everything requires you to purchase hardware, with eCtune (dealer version) and Crome (and Neptune if you go to a Neptune dealer/tuner), you just need a chipped ecu and a tuner.

Hondata S300 is the way to go, don't cheap out when you go turbo.. get yourself a good tune and you should be fine. Trust me it's well worth it

You can also pick up the complete S300 with p28 combo for pretty cheap and then sell your chipped p28
