Ok here's the rundown:
93 civic hatch
B18C gsr
Skunk2 im, short ram intake, Apex ws catback
Ok well I had made a few posts as I was trying to figure out why my car was throwing a code 10 and 8.........I took it to a local shop (NRG Performance) and ot the car diagnosed.

I found out that teh air intake temp and tdc sensor were just fine, it was my ecu that was bad. Sean, the mechanic (very nice guy) had told me that he has a skunk2 chipped p28 and that he would install that for 300.00 including labor. The car would cross-over at 5000 and redline at 9200(although its best to redline at 8400 with stock internals). Would this work well with my setup? i am nt really sure so any help would be great!

thanks

All you have is an intake manifold, intake, and exhaust on your gs-r engine. Your car is barely modded and you are gonna try to get more power out of it by using some ecu that isn't even set up for your specific mods? No way man, just get a normal gs-r ecu and a vafc if u really wanna tune what you have.

ummm....actually does dual butterfly valves ring a bell? Since I was running the skunk2 im with the stock ecu and I was loosing low end power due to this, but now it has been corrected. thanks for the input, but dont assume everything. i too agree that people shouldnt have chipped ecu's with only bolt-ons, but in this case and in my unfortunate case of the ecu going bad and the guy having this one in stock, it was perfect.

Ohh and the car runs beautifully now, no check engine lights woooohooooo
