Hey guys, I'm going turbo in the spring with my CRX Si. It's an OBD0 so I've downloaded TurboEdit software. Does anyone know if any of the local tune shops have experience with TurboEdit?
I'm still uncertain whether it's worth upgrading to OBD1, and knowing if anyone can tune TurboEdit would really help.
Thanks.

turbo edit is old school, and last time i checked they did not have any updates.
you might aswell convert to obd1 and run CROME.

I was able to download the newest version available and create a base map. I don't think I'll have a problem using it on my computer or anything, just wondering if any of the shops that used to use it, still do.

Its to old school! I don't think any of the shops really use it for tuning anymore. If your going to turbo your car do it right and at least spend a couple of hundred and just get a jumper harness and get a ECU chipped with crome. Its cheap and works just fune.

I'm sure Shane at DB Performance will. He tuned my DA when I was still obd0. I ran BRE, witch is even less used the Turboedit. I'm sure he will. Give them a call.
Or take the good route, witch I eventually did. OBD1. Well worth the time/money/tunabillity. Hondata owns all...

Glad to help. I was in your situation at the time of obd0 also. I didn't want to spend the $ on it. So I didn't. then came to realize it was going to be dirt cheap to do it....
I had an OBD2 Dizzy-FREE
Harness-From a friend parting his car-$35
P28-Traded a dude on mnsportcompact for some 310 injectors-( i bought the injectors for $45) so $45
o2 sensor... $40 at O'Rielly auto parts.
So....I had about $120 into the swap. But then comes hondata... But you don't need that. Crome is fine.
Do the dizzy conversion wiring yourself, no need for $50 harness's. All the Conversion colors are on Honda-tech.
So start working up the suplies, you'll be happy you did eventually.
When I went to the B20 I did the switch. So no need to retune that same engine, I had to retune nomatter what with the new setup.

If you decide to go OBD1 on your CRX, do the conversion BEFORE you do the turbo. It will make troubleshooting much easier.

DBPerformance does still tune TurboEdit occasionally, thanks for the tip.

You'll save money by running an obd1 ecu. Tuning turboedit takes longer to tune and it's nowhere near as good as the obd1 software.
