what do you guys think of the hondata s100?

In terms of what? Tuning? Price? I dont think it's all that great. I dont tune cars, but I know some tuners who absolutely hate hondata. I guess it depends what you want it for. Questions kind of vague...please elaborate and I might be able to help you some more.
Also if you want to make it easier, and perhaps cheaper to tune your car, I would suggest a P06/P28 and have it chipped. I think it's better than Hondata, but like I said I'm not a tuner, that's just my advice -
i am planning on getting a s100. because im getting ready to turbo my car. i want hondata because i can control my rev limit, my top end speed, and the air fuel ratio.Comment

A P06 tuned with Crome can do all that as well.
If you get the Hondata setup, get it because it does what you need it to do, better than anything else. Don't just get it because it's "the thing to get"

im getting it because it does what i want you kno.Comment

But is it the best option? As I said, a P28 and Crome can do the same thing. Can you tune the s100 yourself, or is that the one that requires you to go to a Hondada approved tuner to have it done? Do they even do that anymore? If not, there used to be a cheap Hondata option that was like that... you couldn't do a damn thing with it yourself.

where could i get a chipped p28 with crome?
im not 100 percent sure but im pretty sure i can tune it myself. i can get some one to download the software.Comment

Crome is free, unless you want to pay for the pro version that has more options. Only $100 or so.
A P28 can be found in a junkyard...I've gotten them for prices ranging from $15 to $50. A chipping kit is $20 or so.

It looks as if you could possibly tune it yourself. However, if you don't know where to find a P28, you probably don't have the slightest clue about tuning an ECU.
You are aware that you'll need a compatible ECU for this, right? You're not going to just get that $200 s100 and slap it in...
Here's your list of compatible ECUs:

honestly i dont have a clue. i dont really kno anything about ecus.
is the p28 for an obd 2 or 1
what car could i get it out of?Comment

It's OBD1. You don't want ANYTHING OBD2.
It's from a Civic EX or Si... 92-95. You could also get a P06, which is out of the DX/LX models (that would be better if you have an F22A.. and cheaper)

im actually planing on getting the f22b dohc non vtec.
you think the p28 with crome would be good with that?Comment

P06 will be fine. P28 is for VTEC. Usable for non-vtec, but it's a waste, as they often fetch a higher price.
You really need to learn a bit more, my friend. You're about to blow a ton of money on something you know nothing about. Learn about the tools you're going to get before you buy them. What they do, how to do it, what you need to do it, and what your options are.
Were you planning on getting another ECU to put that s100 into?

idk...
so if i bought a po6 do i need to chip it?
how would i hook it up to use crome.
im actually browsing crome right now but i dont get it.Comment

Yes, you need to chip it.
You need to be able to datalog... a wideband o2 sensor at the very least is necessary for that (it would be with the Hondata as well). Crome is a tool with which you can adjust the fuel curve (and other settings). Once you have your map the way you want it, you burn a chip, install it, and run the car.
You need to know how to tune an ECU to use it... and that goes for the s100 as well.
