i wantto chip my ecu will it boost performance what the good side on it and the bad anyone knows

 

it depends on all other modifications...
is it stock or what do you have?
you really need some bolt on intake header exhuast....
yes youll get a little more power but noithing worth while

 

i'm just saying since rpm cut out for b16 r at 8200 can it b chipped to 9k for better timing

 

say what? your car has a rev limiter for a reason, if it were made to rev to 9k from the factory don't you think it would? you don't make anymore power past 7600 anyway, the only thing you would gain by doing this was experience on replacing your engine.

and btw, Rev limiter has the complete opposite of ANYTHING to do with timing, unless its "i over revved because i thought my stock b16 could handle 12,000 rpm and now i jumped time"

 

You might gain a little by tuning on a stock motor, but it would be rather pointless due to the insignificance between tuned and untuned. You would be better off with just some simple boltons (I/H/E/IM) and then a tune afterwards if you wanted so see some worthwhile gains.

 

This might seem crazy but perhaps you could reset your ECU instead of replacing it, if you plan on keeping it stock anyways. I reset my ECU because the person who owned my car before had been using regular gas instead of premium. I had to reset to factory settings so the ECU wouldn't continue to limit the trim value which in turn limits timing. However when you reset your ECU, all of the values are set to their default state which are the settings for optimum stock performance. I honestly didn't think it would make a difference but my VTECH kicks better than it ever has, and the engine runs smoother all the way around.

 

yea dude, rev limiters are put on for a reason. Nobody wants to deal with some valve float or bounce because some time down the road you'll be cursing yourself for doing that. What kind of power are you trying to achieve here?

 

Leave it stock unless you do multiple mods that warrant dyno tuning then get a an ECU that is tunable.

 

Since this thread is 5 years old, I'm fairly certain he figured out what to do with his ECU long ago.





eH.

 

Didn't even notice hahahaha

 

Honestly, it's because you have a life. My sorry *** is on here so much that a thread title I haven't currently seen that already has nine responses raises a red flag even before I open it. It's truly pathetic.


I need a life...
