I have said ti before on here...but i am not sure what kind of ecu i should get.... i would like to chip and tune my 98 integra but i am not sure what kind of ecu to get, i have intake, header, catback, and soon to add fuel pressure regulator.. but my question what ecu should i get that would be best...?Whats the difference between all of them... whats it all mean... hook me up with some links or something... thanks

 

For simply bolt-ons, your not changing the car's characteristics enough to where you need a chipped ecu.

 

Agreed. It won't help you at all.

 

agreed times 2 with dubcac and food

 

You need to get an ECU that is compatible with your engine. V-tec, non-v-tec? Auto/manual?

I don't completely agree with the above. I think you will always gain something with tuning. Your engine will run better tuned. Not a huge deal though.

What do you need a fuel pressure regulator for? What other mods are you planning on doing?

 

this guy at a local shop said that a fuel pressure reg. would add roughly 10-15 hp to the wheels... then not sure about other mods... wanted to do ls/vtec but cant find a head at a decent cost... right now the cel is on cause of my cat and i was just wanted to tune it so that way it wouldnt be on.

 

If your only mods are an intake/header/catback then a fuel pressure regulator will do absolutely nothing. Your stock system is not lacking in any way for your setup. That guy was full of crap.

A tune will not fix your cel. You might need a new cat.

You can buy 02 simulators you can put on so your car thinks you have a cat. That would solve your problems before a chipped ECU would.

 

He wants your money

 

he wanted like 225 to install it... he said it was an easy install....what should i get next then...?

 

and where do i get an o2 simulator?
