Default ECU question

I have a civic vti eg (uk spec b16a2 160bhp) i have fitted a uprated clutch, a ITR box with LSD, full mongoose exhaust and decat, plugs, leads, and induction kit.
so my next step is a manifold (4-1) and a re-programmable ECU.

Which reprogrammable ECU is best? i know hondata are good, but which hondata one do i need? how much are they? are there any others to consider?

Also next stage for me after that is stage 2 cams, followers, valvesprings, camgears, and a intake manifold. My question is are the skunk 2/ITR intake manifolds really as good a power gain as quoted on sites and thought by ppl? (ive heard 15-20bhp) thanks, ste

www.hondata.com

if you just want someone to tune it for you and not touch it again, get a base s200. if you want to tune it yourself, get the s300.

you can also look at other systems like aem ems, neptune, uberdata, crome, etc.

the biggest question you need to ask yourself is what snoopy asked, do you want to be able to tune it yourself? and also how much money you're willing to spend cuz the s300 hondata is a lot cheaper than the aem ems, but it's all a matter of personal preference and what all you're wanting to be able to do...
