i wouldnt think so. you could take it to a honda dealer and have them tune the ECU to your mods. Some guys will do that (not for free of course unless u know em)

Definitely have it tuned after you do your modifications. What kind of money are you looking at putting into this? Have an idea on what brands you want to put on the car? You definitely need to make sure your modification work together to perform to their maximum potential.

well i wasnt sure what brand to go with , for the header i'm gonna go dc 4-2-1 , and i was thinking about skunk 2 for the intake manifold, then get the throttle body bored out. it must be able to be a daily driver though thats y i dont want to go too crazy i dont care if its not super fast i just want it to be nicely faster and i dont want to raise the rev limiter cuz i dont want to blow the thing up

You can get a computer(ECU) programmed for your mods (I believe Jet and Hondata are a few who do that), or get a programmable one(but you would probably need some dyno time to get it right)
