*On some vehicles, it is additionally necessary to install the “correct” ECU and wire jumper harness.

What sotware can I use?

  • Hondata SManager
  • Honda Tuning Suite (HTS)
  • BMTune
  • CROME
  • TunerPro RT
  • TurboEdit Pro
  • Many other softwares compatible with OSTRICH 2.0 protocol

All Hondavert S300 board versions compatible with SManager 2.2.8. Also S300 board version 1.6 and more moderm also works perfectly with SManager 2.7.5.

Non recommended software used for tuning can damage your engine.

To install the board you need some tools and parts:

  • Soldering station and soldering iron
  • OBD1 ECU and S300 USDM board
  • S300 installation kit (come with the original product)
  • DIP28 PIN Connector – 1pcs
  • 5PIN Connector – 1pcs
  • Resistor 1 kOhm – 1pcs
  • Jumper- 1pcs
  • Capacitors 0,1 mF – 2pcs
  • Latch register 74HC373 – 1pcs
Open ECU case. The ECU inside should look similar to the picture.
We need to modify eight components: C51, C52, R54, J1, J12, CN2, 74HC373, 27256
Fing places for J1 jumper and R54 resistor (they are near) on ECU board. Solder J1 jumper and R54 resistor from installation kit. Have no polarity, soldered by either side.
Find places for C51 and C52 capacitors. Solder 0,1 uF capacitors from installation pack. Have no polarity, soldered by either side.
Find places for CN2 and 74HC373. Solder 5PIN connector CN2 and 74HC373 IC from installation pack.
CHECK YOURSELF: The notch on the chip must correspond to the notch on the
board drawing
Find place for external EPROM 27256. Solder 28PIN connector or two 14PIN lines from installation pack.
Find jumper J12. Desolder or cut J12 jumper.
Make a hole in ECU case for USB Connector. Install S300 board.

To install the board you need some tools and parts:

  • Soldering station and soldering iron
  • OBD1 ECU and S300 JDM board
  • S300 installation kit (come with the original product)
  • DIP28 PIN Connector – 1pcs
  • 5PIN Connector – 1pcs
  • Capacitors SMD – 2pcs
  • Latch register SMD 74HC373 – 1pcs
Open ECU case. The ECU inside should look similar to the picture.
We need to modify seven components: C49, C50, J1, J4, CN2, 74HC373, 27256
Find places for CN2, 27256 and 74HC373. Solder 5PIN connector to CN2, 28 PIN socket or 2×14 pin lines to 27256 and 74HC373 IC from installation pack.
Solder C49, C50 capacitors form installation pack.
Desolder jumper J4 nd solder it to jumper J1


Emulator memory will be cleared when you change board mode

Set OSTRICH mode (HTS, ecTune, BMTune, CROME etc)

Turn ignition OFF. Set switch to OSTRICH position.
Turn ignition ON. Start HondaVert S300 Mode and set OSTRICH option.

Set S300 mode (Hondata SManager)

Turn ignition OFF. Set switch to S300 position.
Turn ignition ON. Start HondaVert S300 Mode and set S300 option.

This instruction was released thanks to the guy with nickname Buka55ru, who many years has been successfully using HondaVert for tuning his car with automatic transmission

ECU Hardware and Wiring
To work, we need the following OBD1 ECU output:
A17 IAB — Secondary Intake Runner / A/T Lock-Up Solenoid
Manual ECU. This type of ECU needs to be modified by adding the power output A17 from the ECU, to run automatic valve control. Read below.
Automatic ECU. This type of ECU already has everything you need from the factory, does not require any modification.

For ECU wiring connect both A/T Lock-Up Solenoids (OBD1 pin A17 and A19) to pin A17, as shown in the diagram above.

A17 IAB Modification (for Manual ECU)

For this modification we need:
IC16 5050S High Side Swith
R68 820 Ohm Resistor
D13 4001 Diode
C78, C79, C91 22 pF Capacitors (sometimes soldered from the factory)
Solder IC16, Connect the Q34 right hole to left control pin of 5050S.

SManager ECU calibration

To run with automatic transmission, we will use a great feature available in SManager – programmable events.

Go to the Nitrous/AUX 1 event and configure the following parameters:
Function —> Nitrous control
Input tab —> Always on
Output tab —> A17 IAB (Secondary Intake Runner)

Conditions tab
-Engine speed —> 1500-7200 rpm
switching on early so that there is a margin to failure when locking
-Engine load —> 300-950 mbar
950 is 8.5 column, if less then flying off when cruising on 100 kmh
-Throttle —> 1%
-Vehicle speed —> 70-220 kph
-Air Temperature —> -30 C
-Water Temp —> -37 – 130 C

Upload calibration to ECU and Go Driving 😉
