Pros/Cons on H22 Turbo? I already have it, but people are saying I should ditch it for a chipped ecu w/ chrome. can anyone out there dial in on this?

 

your in California I see. are you obd1 or obd2. If you are obd2 I think passing smog might me difficult on anything other then the stock ecu. So the ultimate as a piggyback would be a good idea plus you already have it.

I like a p72 with hondata and the boost controller. But that is personal preference.

 

obd1, I'm not worried so much about smog, I've already had it smogged and should be good for some time.

Not to spread the terror of CA, but if your boosting chances are that you will get pulled over and inspected, then sent to a state inspector and then you will be in a world of hurt. Thats why anything i put in my car that touches an emission system, it has to have a carb sticker. Even so, every 2 years you have to resmog your car, and your guarenteed to fail due to not running a stock ecu. Even if you have a friend that works at a smog station that can pass you, you still have to worry about getting inspected. I have had a few friends in the bay area get their cars impounded for improper modifications to their cars.

 

my car is a delsol with a bar'd h22, I have a greddy kit, intake manifold, and the emanage, and i'm making the emanage ultimate pnp, so if something were to happen all Id just swap my stock parts back on im, headers, exhaust, and unplug the emanage. but anyway. thats a different story. I was wondering if the emanage ultimate is a good choice for this engine, and what the pros and cons of it was. this isnt a topic on california smog rules
