new im thinking abut chipping my 1992 integra gsr . Its got a b18c1 in it and tranny .I want a chip to change my vtec and as well as tune the computer. any recommandation would be cool
thanks-N.A

 

I got a chipped P28 ECU for my B18C1 from

I just finished chipping my ecu for my GSR. Its easy, the parts are cheap, and the program is free (if you use Uberdata to reprogram

I would not get a chipped ECU, as at this point, you have no need for it.

Changing the VTEC point will only cause your car to lose power. If everything you have done to the car is a stock gsr motor and a tranny, then the IM is stock. With the stock intake manifold, it is recommended that you keep the p72 computer. It allows for the butterflies to open up along with keeping vtec set at 4400. This is the best when dealing with a stock gsr motor.

If the motor is stock, the stock computer should be used. If you, however, decide to upgrade to a skunk2 manifold or anything along those lines, i suggest you convert to obd1 and get a chipped computer that will flow in conjunction with that manifold. The stock motor will not see any gains from a stock manifold and chipped ecu with vtec set anywhere above 4400. It is designed that way for a reason, to give more low end torque.

 

what ecu are you running right now?

 

most likely he has a stock p72 obd1 or obd2, depending on what year motor it is.

 

thanks guy and it a mostly stock motor i have type r header on it aem cold air intake pullys and a dc catback exhaust anything else you'd think get me more power out of it let me know

 

are you planning on high compression n/a, or FI, you need to set a hp goal and really decide which route you want to take before moving forward, otherwise you'll just be lego building and run the possibly of wasting many dollars.

 

there's always extra power to be found with a tune. get a obd1 p72 ecu and get it chipped/socketed and tuned by somebody who knows what they're doing.

 

yea sounds pretty good and i dont want a wicked amount of h/p be more than happy with 250 but it gonna be a lil while before i reach that

 

if you want 250 hp you'll have to either turbo the motor or do a pretty extreme all motor build, which will be way more expensive than a turbo. instead of just getting parts randomly, you should figure out exactly what you wana do and plan it out. for example, if you turbo the motor then you'll have to get rid of the intake and header, and probably get a better flowing exhaust. planning ahead will save you money and help you reach your goal quicker.

 

The best response in this thread so far. I used to chip ecu's for the HT community a while back before phearable came along and took over the game. Honestly, with your mods, its not really worth chipping your ecu at this point. Even if you were to get hondata, or even with uberdata or crome, you'll probably only be able to get a couple HP out of it...which is better than nothing, but your stock ecu should be fine for now. Tuning is the key to making power though... don't go for one of these premade base maps...get it on the dyno or do some street tuning for the best results.

 

Right on the money.

 

word alright man good stuff

 

Good to know we could help.

 

a lot man ill keep you guys posted on how everything turns out

 

hey guy i was cruising a few nights ago got up to about 90 then the car started to backfire and the block felt like it was almost julting back n forth idk if its my air fuel ratio causing it to back fire or maybe i have a miss firing cylender any ideas?
n.a

 

could be running a bit rich..

thats what im thinking

 

I have a 2000 gsr in my eg running on a chipped p28..
my vtec engages at 4800, and im pretty sure my car is running rich
but hey, it also burns oil in vtec.

 

is the ecu tuned or is it one of those ebay chips?

 

It's not tuned properly no...
it is Kenji chipped

 

well, there's your problem. are you surprised that it's not running right without a tune?

 

how would i fix that

 

Well no im not lol. But for me money is very much an issue, and I don't have any buddies that can tune. I should pay what 300-500 for a tune when all I have is bolt ons?

 

When the ECU is changed, and according to your last post you have a Kenji chipped ecu, you should get the car tuned. A chipped ECU is usually a basemap, which is designed to get your car from your garage to the tuner without messing something up. Prolonged driving on an untuned ECU can lead to bigger issues in the long run.

That ECU you have now has the ability to run different types of programs, such as Hondata, Crome, ECtune, etc. It is up to you to go to the tuner, get a program, get on the dyno, and tune it the right way. That way, you can work out all the kinks and not have the car to lean or too rich. As for the oil burning, that is just another story.

Oil burning in VTEC...? thats gotta be the valve seals, so check those out when you get a chance. Perform a leakdown and compression test to see where the problem is coming from. It can be the valve seals or the rings. Hope its just the valve seals, as it is usually a very easy fix.
