I have a turbo sitting in my house and intercooler, oil lines everything is there 450 cc fuel injectors. New spark plugs. I was wondering what ECU upgrade do I need! I have a D15b7 stock honda Civic DX Coupe, So what ECU upgrade do I need? Or do I even need one Im confused when it comes to the ECU.

no offence.

u should upgrade to a better motor. the lil d15b7 has some really pencil thin con rods and weak rod bolts. i have seen numerous d15b7's break rods. the tune was perfect and we werent running crazy boost we were only running 12lbs.

i would reccomend a d16y8 or a d16z6. they can be had for pretty cheap these days. i picked one up for 200 running.

but as for tunning software i would reccomend neptune software or ectune. i despise hondata. but hondata does make good products but it reminds me alot of neptunes programs. hmmmm http://www.xenocron.com/
