Hello everyone im wondering what benifits may come with upgrading to obd1 and if any worth while benifits how easy is it? and what do u need to do?

cons not good for tuning
obd1 p28s are great for tuning
easy to install just need a jumper harness and
im using a obd1 dizzy and wiring
With that said about obd0 not great for tuning what is it that makes it this way?
What makes obd1 "better" for tuning?
Is it not possible to run the same base map on an obd0 as it is an obd1??
as far as connectors, I definitely like the OBD1 gray plugs over the OBD-0 yellowish plugs, there just so brittle.
0bd0 is not technically bad. it isnt, "not good for tuning".
whats not great about it is that there isn't many engine management hardware and software to tune for it or even support for it.
obd1 has a lot of hardware and software in the market now a days. as well as support
also: lots of aftermarket wire harnesses and such to help you make conversions easier, lots of info on the internet to help you do these conversion.
also finding a tuner for that particular engine management comes into play as well.
what i have found out is that tuning can be done on an obd0 car just like an obd1 or obd2 car.
Xenocron had obd0 chips from what I have seen.
I have yet to contact them and see if they can add vtec to it but I wouldn't see why they couldn't.
