Default retube with obd-1 question

i have a 2000 civic si turbo, it has been turbo'd for about 3-4 years now and is definately time for a retune. here are the specs...

310cc injectors
walbro 255lph fuel pump
jackson racing fmu
apex-safc
full greddy turbo kit...18g, bov,fmic,boost controller, turbo timer, etc...
2.5 inch apexi dunk exhaust
running stock greddy wastegate...7.8 psi(i believe)

we are wanting to get get it retuned without the hacks and wanted to go to obd-1 , now wondering which is a good system for the car.(hondata, crome, etc...) not really worried about price(but dont want to spend 1500 for aem ems), just want reliabilty.

Hondata or Crome....you can't go wrong either way. What ever your tuner is comfortable with is a good choice of the two.

crome or crome pro. Also get a set of 550cc or larger injectors. Then shit-can the FMU and AFC setup.

well i didnt know if any tuning program has better points than the other(phearable.net,crome,hondata, etc...). i see that phearable.net has the harness, ecu, and a base program for 275, cause i would need all that for a retune, rather than sourcing everthing and finding a tuner.... has anyone ever used this program before? any good or bad expierence?


thanks

Phearable.net is a website, not a program. He typically uses Crome for maps that he sends to customers. They are maps based off of a tune similar to the spec you need, not meant to be the final tune. You still want to get the car tuned no matter what. To be honest, I would not waste your money on anything other than a tune of Crome. For your setup, you do not need to spend any extra money on another engine management. He uses boomslang conversion harnesses, which are a knock off of my old harnesses (now Rywire - Online Store) and they work. There are plenty of places to get harnesses and base maps. Where to get the final tune done is the key.
