    ECU upgrades?

    I'm looking to do some sort of upgrade to my ECU to release some of those hidden horses. What's out there for us that doesn't require a PH.D. to install, and works well w/ everyday driven automatic?

    Well just do a little research for the easiest stand alone setup... it's going to be expensive but worth it.

    check out the turbo thread for stand alone engine management setups... most are ment for boost but they also list other options for naturally aspirated.

    There is also the REDLINE kit, you can use the B16 dcoe style individual throttlebody fuel injection manifold without worrying about the angle the throttle bodies are at becasue it is injection...

    from what i've heard from people with real life experience, thats a pretty much worthless mod......

    There are a few options available, but they just havent been worked out yet. I"ve been trying to get ahold of the ECU code from the a20 ecu so i can get it tweaked and re-burned into a chipable ECU. That way we can run Hondata/Uberdata like all the civic/integra/new accord guys do. There are options out there, you just have to be creative in your thinking for the most part.

    What about that dude that's running an OBD I setup? I'm sure if you do that and get the right ECU, you could tune with Hondata.
