i still have my stock p28 ecu for my d16z6 motor. i want it to go faster without turbo not fast but faster than it is. is it good to run a stock motor with a chip ecu? i haven't done anything internally only external such as cai.. so yea is it good to chip p28 with stock motor? people's opinion/answer is welcome.

I/H/E will be a better gain.

There is no point trying to gain performance with a chipped ECU on a stock motor. If your car was turbocharged from the factory, it would be different (such as a 1.8T VW GTI or Jetta) because increasing the boost pressure and giving it more fuel would boost performance. But you have a naturally-aspirated 1.6L SOHC 4-cylinder...nothing much to gain. Honda ECUs are already pretty aggressive up top anyways.

x2...i was also trying to find something for my z6 but honestly your better off not getting it chipped....throw a turbo in i mean why not go much faster?

because i don't want to turbo up a single vtec. plus i rather swap and turbo then turbo a single vtec.

Cams, pistons, IM, and your basic bolt ons then you'll need a tune. Don't expect to have an intake and have a chipped ecu and gain 10+ hp. Chipped ecu on a stock motor is just stupid.

Go to your local junkyard and hope to find a talon or eclipse turbo and just make your own set up.

Dood, you can achieve 180-190 whp safely with a turbo on a SOHC VTEC.

How much power are you trying to achieve? I mean, lets face it: you started this thread trying to chip your stock motor.

The big question is, how much faster do you want to go?
