You need something like Hondata or Crome, and someone with a dyno and tuning experience. A generic chip will cause you to blow your engine.

can dey jst tune da ecu or i have to buy a hondata

 

[adecorzo]

yes i would like that too can they just use chrome on the stock ecu or what?

 

[Fernpatch]

Yes and no, You can tune a factory ecu with chrome, uberdata, neptune etc. Before you can tune it you need to have the ecu modified with a socket and a re-writable eeprom chip. Than you can flash new maps on the new chip to your hearts content assuming you have a chip burner or take it to someone who does.

I'd just buy a chip off of ebay, it'll be good for at least 400hp. You won't even have to build your motor.

 

[crxpower24]

Yup, that'll be exactly what you need.

This is something that I would not do. Any chip you buy on most websites will be a base map at best. They are never a final solution IMO. I would recommend checking around your local area and see if there are any tuners that can actually burn a chip for YOUR car instead of buying a cheap GENERIC unit from ebay.

Apparently you missed the sarcasm.

 

[Fernpatch]

Yes and no, I knew you were being sarcastic but I didn't know if crxpower24 would know that you were trying to be funny. I am also trying to look out for future noobs who may stumble across this thread and take your last post very seriously. My apologies if I stepped on your toes in any way.

No worries, I was just being an asshole anyways.

You need crome
27c256 eprom chip
and a custom tune
btw one of my frnds did a 5psi b16a with only a fpr and larger 440cc injectors on stock ecu - it would only run on 92octane otherwise it would knock real bad on 87octane
so 5psi and a so so basemap will work just fine

but if you really want reliability then head for a local tuner and let him do things his way

Basemaps are good to get to a tuner and that's all..

They don't account for your AFR at all. If you modify any engine besides a basic I/H?E you'll want a tune. PM me if you need Hondata units.
