The car is sitting in my garage, and waiting for other minor things. I wanted to know what I should do with my ecu. I want to chip it with a hondata, but I wanted to know if I can just use a switch for my vtec and use my stock LS ECU. Need some help with the ecu, not too good in that area. Thanks

 

chipped p28

 

i cant just use a switch huh for my vtec?

whaaa??? your vtec engages when a certain rpm is reached. you can't put a switch

 

You need an ECU thats wired for VTEC and a harness. Get an OBD1 ECU and a harness if you dont already have one. You can then have it programmed with Uberdata, Crome, or Hondata.

Running VTEC requires you to run a VTEC ECU. You have the same setup as I do. It wouldn't be LS/VTEC without an VTEC ECU. Then it'll just be an plain LS again.

 

ok, thanks for all the replies. I am getting my ecu chipped with a hondata. This guy is going to give me the harness, soldier the chip, tune my car, and run a dyno for $400. Is that a good price?

yep, a chipped p28
i think thats not a bad idea... just one dyno run though? that kinda sucks.

get a p28 with either the hondata s100 or the s200. then get it dyno-tuned. you will not be dissappointed with it. make sure you have a good tuner.
