I hope anyone needing a tuning solution in the near future hasn't wasted their money on Hondata!

^^ are you associated with them in any way?

i remember you changed on of your posts in one of my threads because you were "told that you cant talk about it ...yet.."

just wondering

(or maybe it was someone else and i've lost my mind

)

I get some advance notice of new features, but I'm not associated with Neptune, nor do I stand to make any money on it.

That was probably me.
I may have talked about a feature that he didn't want going around the net at that time.

What is the target price?

alphajesse · 09-16-2005, 06:58 PM

All I know is that it will be significantly less than Hondata s300, and it is easier to install.
If you already have a chipped ecu, you don't have to redo anything to make it fit.
With s300, you have to remove your socket and replace it with some odd header that will make going to another system require more soldering iron time.

this looks interesting
need more info though....hopefully soon

sharkcohen · 09-16-2005, 11:18 PM

**** s300, this is the way to go.

^
Definately...

He just announced projected pricing on H-T.

ThatPreludeGuy · 03-12-2006, 11:12 AM

So who's running this, what's the cost, and what shops tune Neptune?

alphajesse · 03-12-2006, 12:22 PM

^ this is a list of all the current tuners for Neptune. The cost will vary because most sell it with a tuning package - they get you on the dyno and all tuned up.
I'm running Neptune, Billy (71DSP) is running Neptune and a couple of others as well. I'm going to be running it on two of my cars in a couple of weeks.

Hmm, Jeff Evans isnt too far from me at all, why did a motor swap become so expensive.

sharkcohen · 03-12-2006, 01:02 PM

If only it worked with my auto tranny.

I feel your pain to Shark.

Jeff Evans is an awesome tuner. He put Neptune on my Prelude for me. Given its probably the lowest hp car he has ever worked on!! My cousin had Hondata and it was unreliable. He has Neptune as well. Neptune > Hondata!

i'm telling you shark (and twizt), somehow getting an AT controller from a 3g to work on your SS is the way to go...

Really???

bigguy225 · 03-15-2006, 11:21 AM

Does anyone know if Neptune is comparable to Autronic?

alphajesse · 03-15-2006, 12:04 PM

Neptune is a system that runs on a OBD1 Honda ECU.
Autronic is a custom designed engine computer.
Neptune has many comparable features, but just like any solution running a Honda ECU, you're not going to be able to go coil-on-plug or do anything real insane.

3g has a seperate controller for the transmission... there'd need to be some work done, as if you simply wired the box in, you'd be shifting between 6000 and 6500 all the time at WOT... you'd also lose the SS feature... however, it would allow you to run a chipped ECU and still controll the transmission... in theory...

when i get my hands on an 88-89 manual ECU, i'll find out for sure whether or not there's specific outputs from the auto ecu for the controller...

either way, it'd be a fairly large project to get it in there and working properly, let alone allowing for SS operation and for the higher shift points on the h22...
