going down the socketed ECU route

pricey!!! This is upsetting was hoping a swap from ODB2 to ODB1 would enable me similar option to the 4th gen. Ill see what PAW suggest when they come back to me. May man up and get the S300 Hondata system knowing its future proof for any further mods i fancy.

Cheers for the help and wise words guys as always much appreciated.

No worries, I tried to go down the cheaper route myself before and it's not worth the hassle. You end up spending loads on the wrong stuff and going for the expensive stuff in the end anyway so it ends up costing more

Go for the s300 in a p28 then give it to rich so he can amaze you with the results! If your getting an atr Intake you dont need the iab control from the p72 anyway and you should get better results too

I think this is what I'll do. Can probably get the intake off the guy I'm getting all my ATR brakes off. Now to see how to fit the thing. Back to forum searching.

you need to fill some holes in the face of the flange and uncover the injector shroud and trim down a bit of the flange face and a few other bits

i will try find the link

PAW will tell you to use hondata s300 or AEM

crome I think they have had reliability problems in the past, this may have been addressed with later versions

but its more what your tuner is happy with

I have hondata and no complaints, worth the extra money

worth looking for 2nd hand, new I think its £300 ish and p28 is peanuts, socketed will cost abit more

Some really interesting stuff on there. Guy over road from me is a great machinist so any adapter plates brackets plugging I will hopefully get him to do.

Spoke to rich top guy. S300 seems best route as he felt the differences in the H22A8 would not sit well with an attempt at chipped ecu. Looking into ATR intake now. and it's much more future proof and bespoke to my car rather than any h22
