Like dude above me said, its not the ideal way to tune a car, but you just need to use a wideband and adjust the a/f ratios accordingly. You do not need to change vtec engagement points

for a ecu tune get a p72 ecu i belive with a chip and have it tunned by a tunner that is qualified to tune it. or just find a reputable tuner and just ask him what you really need. each tuner has thier own tuning method.

You need to get your ecu chipped, and get crome. Or purchase hondata, then find yourself a knowledgable tuner. To tune it for ya, but get some more mods done first.

i really dont think you would need a tune for that kind of set up...if u had good headwork, big(ger) cams, injectors you would really need a tune but with that kind of set up you should be running fine...especially with the p30 ecu

CEL #3 is ur MAP sensor and #7 is ur TPS sensor have u reset ur ecu? and then tried running it and seeing if the CEL's come back up?

Based on those particular codes I wonder if the MAP and TPS connectors or switched, certainly wouldn't be the first time its happened.
