The RTP boards are out, everything is functional save the onboard datalogging.

I got mine with the bluetooth a while ago it KICKS ASS, no other tuning product has run my car so smoothly.

For you guys who already have Neptune, non-RTP, if you want to try and get in the limited prerelease email info@hrtuning.com

For the guys who don't have Neptune already, I hear he's trying to gauge intrest to see if people care about the lack of the onboard DL, if they don't, this might expand into a general release of the boards, so email him in that case too.

It's really too bad that now there is another fully programmable product that I can't use with my 5th gen auto.

Tell ya what Shark. If you ever decide to swap in an MT, I will drive up and help you. (But only if jesse drives his h22 civic and meets us

)

Consensus seems to be it is making about 180HP... We'll see Thursday.

thats for the info. I want the new RTP board in mine. maybe they will hook me up.

alphajesse · 06-19-2006, 12:17 PM

^you have Neptune right now?

if so, email info@hrtuning.com and tell him you want in on the prerelease, and tell him who your tuner is.

preludestud11 · 06-19-2006, 01:33 PM

yes. Im using it on my turbo prelude, and i am using it on another turbo prelude i am putting together for a friend.

preludestud11 · 06-20-2006, 06:23 PM

I got approved for the prerelease, but its a little to pricey for me right now. Hopefully when i get the money he will still have some left.

alphajesse · 06-20-2006, 06:27 PM

That's too bad, I'm sure you woulda loved it.

preludestud11 · 06-21-2006, 07:58 AM

Im going to get it, i just dont know if its going to be as soon as i would like.

alphajesse · 06-21-2006, 11:57 AM

Haha, James asked me about you when you emailed him, and I think I was the one who got to make the call on if you were approved or not.
I can say for sure it's worth saving up for. I just had to take mine out and send it back because I had an early, early version that doesn't support flashing the firmware. I'm getting it upgraded so I have all the latest bells and whistles, and can flash the firmware through the software like the newest ones can. I am already missing the BT logging!

preludestud11 · 06-22-2006, 11:21 AM

hahah. Im actully selling my car, but i was goign to keep it for my daily driver prelude. As soon as i sell my turbo car i am going for a full build.

Ive got a friend using neptune on his JRSC prelude, 9lbs of boost, DSM injectors and 3" exhaust he made 260whp here in colorado...our board at coprelude.com is down right now, but when it comes back up I will post his dynos.

I called the makers of Neptune to see if they would be willing to try to do something for us auto Prelude guys and he said that it wasnt worth all the research and time he would have to put into it for only a handful of users. its a shame too, I really like the system, and we have a great neptune Tuner in our area!

I actually put quite a bit of time into trying to figure something out, but here's the deal- being able to chip the OBD2 ECUs would be awesome, but due to their design it is not feasable. It's not like chipping an OBD1 board where you add a few pieces and you're done. It would require obtaining obsolete parts from OKI (a programmable version of the CPU) which are unavailable, and are one-time-programmable anyhow, so if you burned once, you're stuck with it. It just plain doesn't make sense for anyone to do it. They aren't like the RSX ecu with flash memory that can be reprogrammed.
