97 integra ecu question

[civic_driver_389]

I am about to buy a 1997 integra LS with a B20/vtec swap in it, but when I drove it, it seemed like it should be a little faster. Do you think that it could be because he is running the stock ls ecu with the VAFC turning on the vtec? Would it make a good difference if I got a chipped ecu and actually wired up vtec correctly?

thank you

most people on this site advocate tuning more than anything else. thats where you find hidden horsepower and that would most likely help the power situation even if you just ran a chipped ecu with a basemap for your setup.

Yes, it would be better to get a dohc vtec ecu, as the vafc is a hack for the vtec. Then after getting the ecu you could install the vafc and make better adjustments.
