Chip Ecu Questions.
CAR INFO:
b16a Jdm obd1 p28 ecu.
cutom 2.25 pipe.
short ram intake.
WHAT KIND OF SHORT SHIFTER SHOULD I BUY?
-UNANSWERED QUESTION--
If you have 9k set at rev limit, and you shift at 8k. will u still get same performance?
Best Vtec Engagement?
I've read some forums people say 5k.
Rev Limit?
how about 9k?
Does it increase much horsepower?
-Unanswered Question-
Is it safe?
-Unanswered Question-
i've also read if you go beyond 8k rpm your valve can miss up or something.

CONS/PROS!

I ordered a chipped ECU for my car (99 Si, bolt-ons, skunk2 cams, skunk2 valvetrain) from Phearable.net and it ran like garbage... Just get a dyno tune, it really is the way to go...
It doesn't even seem worth it for you though as you essentially have a stock motor...

Re: Chip Ecu Questions.
9k is too high on stock valvetrain, you won't make any power up there anyway... Stock valvetrain = stock rev limit...

Re: Chip Ecu Questions.
I have heard stories of it working great for others as well but not for anyone that has any substantial modifications... I randomly ran into a guy that had the same car as me (99 Si) at the movie theater thats car was revving up and down as he was backing into a spot... I asked him whats up with his car and he said he just got a chipped ecu from phearable... He only had bolt-ons...

Re: Chip Ecu Questions.
A chip is only as good as the information stored on it. If you've modified your engine and installed a chip without getting it tuned, you just have a guess (basemap).
In your case, you just have a stock engine with bolt-on's, so just get a b16a ROM.
