i just got a 2001 gsr and im wondering what chips are good and are tey easy to install? i see them going on ebay for less then 20 dollars but im scared to buy id ratehr spend a little more on something i know is worth while!!!by the way heres a pic

 

OBDII (96-01 Integra) is quite difficult to chip. The memory and the processor are the same chip. Most people do an OBDI conversion with a P72 or P28 ECU. I'm one of the few that has a chipped OBDII ECU.

BTW: a generic chip is not going to improve a stock car. You need to tune an ECU for your engine configuration.

P.S. Nice car, but paint the grill black.

 

i have intake, header, and full cat back exhaust and plan to put in my vtec controller this weekend is that enough to chip?

 

You have only done minor bolt-ons. ECU tuning could help a little. Once you do some internal engine work, ECU tuning will be much more beneficial. (Opinions will vary on this.)

I chose to get a Spoon Sports clone for my ECU because the VTEC crossover was in the proper location for my camshafts.

What is the purpose of the VTEC controller on your setup?

 

cause i have it from my ef civic! didnt want to sell

 

this has nothing to do with the post but before you think about a chip or anything else you should considering investing in some decent coilovers.
nice clean *** teg tho.

don't waste your money.

 

i say work on suspension and wheels, paint your grille back to black. Then worry about the tuning.

 

what part of the grille is suppsed to be black?

 

pics would help

 

i am also curious about front lips? which one should i get and what sideskirts for a decent price?

 

dont buy an ebay chip u retard. insted of buyin a 20$ chip buy those 20$ springs and drop ur car....it wuld look so much better

i agree you will likt the way it looks alot, but if you drive alot you will miss how it rides. even with a good suspension setup it will get old. if you are set on doing it i would just buy a full coilover set up when all you do i remove the whole damper( strut) that way it you get tired of it you can just put ur old **** back in. thats what i wish i would have done. althought my car does handle like its on rails.


p.s. disreguard everything i just said. sell me all your stock suspension when you buy the full coilover set-up

 

tunning helps if you have enough parts that require a tune... i'd save your money and not worry about chips right now. get the basic i/h/e and maybe a new intake manifold

 

so should i install the vtec controller?

 

the VTEC controller wont give you much gain. Maybe sell that and get a APEX-I VAFC (this should allow you to adjust some fuel/air and VTEC points. Definately dont buy the EBAY chip. ITs a TOTAL SCAM and anyone who says different is a liar or just plain retarded
