Default Ebay?

Hi...
As I´m a Swede I surf alot on Ebay...
Soon I will buy an B18C1 Engine and my question is this...

On Ebay.com you have all these flashy ECU`s called "Mugen p72 chip 94-95 Integra Gsr ecu" and " 94-95 INTEGRA GSR POWER JUN RACE ECU CHIP B18"...

Is it worth buing any of these or are they just Bogus Shit?

Some generic "race" ROM isn't going to be optimal for your specific setup. Your best option would be to run a ROM that is specifically tailored and tuned for your particular setup. I'mnot sure how readily available standalone units are over in Sweden, but you should be able to acquire a piggy-back fuel controller like an AFC or something similar and get pretty decent results with it once you dyno tune it.

Then I would probably look into an AFC, or something similar that you can use to fine tune your fuel map. I wouldn't rely on some generic eBay ROM that wasn't designed to harmonize with your components.

be VERY weary on ebay.

i'd get your engine from someone like www.hmotorsonline.com or something.

and dont buy a chip off of ebay for 8.99


just be carefull...if it seems too good to be true, it is.
