ECU Upgrades

hondaboy86 · 08-23-2004, 08:14 PM

I was just wondering if anyone has had any knowledge about ecu upgrades or chips that change the ignition around. Do they work? How well will it work on my car 00 with cai and catback exhaust? Anyone think its worth it or not for a couple hundred bucks?

Thanks

25% with ecu upgrades? I think not.

There are a couple of popular piggy back systems out there that can maximize the gains of OTHER mods you might have. There's the Apex'i VAFC and Greddy EManage. Emanage has more options. Both allow you to adjust the VTEC engagement point.

Overall, Honda has tuned this car pretty well given how driveable it is. It is typically factory FI cars that benefit most from ECU upgrades of course.
