the stock chip huh? oh well still not bad for $30 right??? well now, here is my next question.....where can i purchase some reputable chips for my ecu? i kno there is ebay but i want some good stuff? thanks again.

DO NOT Buy an Ebay chip!!! There are all **** copies of basically stock maps with more fuel, timing, random vtec X-overs and ridicuosly high rev limits.

Go to someone who will burn you a base map in BRE to get it running, and then get atleast a street tune to make sure your running safe. No basemap or "chip" will run your setup perfect.

in order to have a chip burned for what i need, would i have to take my car in to a shop and have them run the dyno and then set my new maps? even if its a basic LS Vtec for right now? i mainly just want my knock sensor disabled. if i do have to take it in does anyone in northern cali know of any good shops?

where are you located in norcal?

im in sacramento. so anything near here that does a good job would work.

well i found out today that it is a stock chip. mainly because i drove on it for about 10 minutes and got a code 23 (knock sensor) . it acted just like my other virgin PR3 and my other 2 virgin PW0's. so at least i know that the ecu and chip both work. lol

u should try John Kerr at http://www.j-k-tuning.com he chipped my ecu he does good work.

they only do obd1 im running an obd0 ecu

Furyof4

Not true. John tuned my obd0 car on BRE. He's on the other side of the country from you but I can vouch for his work.

Anyone that is familiar with crome will most likely do BRE too.

i checked the site and could only find obd1. ill double check and see.

Furyof4

Its not listed on his site but he'll most likely help you out if you email him.

i emailed him earlier with wat i wanted and if he could help me out. im just waiting for his reply. thanks guys ill keep u posted
