Aloha Jesse,
Well, since I don't know where you're located, I couldn't tell you where to go for Hondata. i think it is over-rated as far as engine mgmt is concerned. I have had better results with the ZDYNE ecu configuration.
To the best of me knowledge, you have one of the BEST ecu's out there...
...THE STOCK ZC unit!!

Personally, I went out to a boneyard and got an old school B16 ecu that was bad because the vtec wasn't working. The guy gave it to me for $5 and I decided to plug it in to see what would happen. It is the best damn $5 I ever spent. I had to wire an extra O2 wire, but other than that, it runs STRONG and I know that it helped me getting 127hp to the wheels with the only other upgrades being I/H/E. I hope this helps....

Be Blessed,
jdm since 1989

Hondata can be intsalled by anyone who sells the unit. Worth it? depends of your level of mods and what you want to achive. For a stock engine with bolt ons I'd say no. Hondata is OBD1 so you would have to convert it to use it, assuming you have an 88-91 CRX ir civic. Stock ZC ecu is pretty good as is.
