Hondata S200 - Honda

Smart boosting
Anytime forced induction is used on a Honda, installing a S200 unit eliminates the need for piggyback fuel computers, boost dependant fuel pressure regulators, additional injectors, check valves and timing retard boxes. Simplicity of the unit only requires a 1:1 ratio fuel pressure regulator and larger injectors to compensate for fuel. The most feared scenario in turbocharged cars is over boosting. Over boosting can be caused from wastegate failure, boost creeps or an overzealous turn of the boost controller. Programming a specified boost amount in the Hondata S200 eliminates over boosting, while providing protection with the built in boost-cut if for any unforeseen circumstances your Honda witnesses higher than normal boost levels.

Upgrading the S200
Implementing a unique alphanumeric code using the HondaLogger unit, customers have the ablility to upgrade and activate boost, datalogging and 3-step rev limiter if chosen in the near future. This fast and easy process eliminates the need to send the S200 unit back to Hondata for reprogramming.

For the most bang for the buck, improved drivability, and easy to program unit, it's hardpressed to deny Hondata has appealed to the Honda masses whether the S200 is for an all motor or turbo vehicle daily driven or ready to set the next world record.

S200 optional Features +++
3-step rev limiter/Launch controlUsing a Hondata switch to replace the factory clutch switch, rpms can be adjusted to a preferable setting that will stay constant until the clutch is released when launching the car. This feature enables drag racing launches to stay consistent.

Full throttle shifts
Perhaps the coolest feature in the S200 unit is the ability to perform full throttle shifting. Full throttle shifting features the elimination of depressing the gas pedal when crashing through the gears down the quarter mile. Not only does this increase gear shifting efficiency but helps turbo cars maintain boost levels throughout the gears keeping quarter mile times more consistent. Not to mention the car sound wicked!

G Sensor
The Hondata G Sensor is an additional unit which contains a two axis accelerometer which plugs into the S200 Interface Box. Adding the G Sensor allows the owner to data log acceleration, cornering and braking simultaneously while the car is still in motion.

Additional Hondata features +++
Programmable shift light
Using a HondaLogger to adjust rpm points, an LED shift light can be placed anywhere within the confines of the dash. Using an LED shift light enables a quicker light response compared to the common filament bulb type lights.

AC cutoff
When a car reaches a certain rpm or throttle position, the air conditioning will automatically turn off enabling the driver to concentrate on the road if he becomes involved in signal to signal confrontation.

VTEC Control
The VTEC changeover point can be set at any reasonable rpm by using either an ROM Editor or the Hondata supplied push button / interface box. Hondata claims their methods of setting the VTEC points are superior to their competitor's piggyback computers. Why is that you ask? Mac Millan states, "Hondas have two fuel and two ignition maps. With aftermarket VTEC controllers, the camshaft is forced to switch while running on the wrong fueling and ignition tables. This can cause fuel to be as far as 10% out and ignition to be retarded up to 6 degrees. Although some VTEC controllers allow a correction for fuel, there are currently none that allow correction for ignition advance. The best possible method that Hondata uses is to switch the ECU tables at the same time the camshaft is changed."

Nitrous Control
Using a ROM editor, Nitrous can be activated and deactivated though programmable setting in conjunction with engine speed, rpm, and throttle. Fuel and ignition can also be modified when adding nitrous.
