Default Which ECU???

I am unsure of which ecu to put into my 98 preldue...?

Mugen, Skunk2, spoon jun????

Which one would get the best performance??? And is it okie for daily driving after the ECU is installed??? i heard your could blow your engine???

I have JDM engine swap, mugen headers, injen shortram intake, skunk mainifold, mugen exhaust... Is it still worth getting an ecu if you dont have turbo??

i'm guessing you're talking about a chip (like one on eBay)? i'd stay away from those like the plague. they have maps that come from WHO KNOWS where and yes that could lead to some serious problems with your motor.

Right now i'm looking into a socketed and chipped ecu by Phearable.net, i haven't heard any reviews just yet but so far their services look pretty good for $175 to your door.

Remember, its not all about the name of what ecu you're running, but how well its tuned to your motor and its parts.

Turbo doesnt determine whether you want to tune fuel/ignition, it just necessitates it more than normally aspirated setups.

one more thing..pet peeve: header, just one.

keep your ECU and get a VAFC or if you want you can get a hondata s200.
