Hi,

I want to buy a Spoon Sports Computer for my DC2. My Motor is Stock with Bolt on´s.

Can I have Problems with the ECU?? What are the detailed Specs of the ECU??

I´am from Germany, sorry for my English, it is not so good...

You would be much better off investing your money in a tunable engine management such as Hondata S300 or Neptune RTP etc.

Thank´s for your Info. I heard the Spoon ECU learns.... I heard only Positiv Meanings about the Spoon ECU. So I think i buy one.

 

x2.

Even a chip from Phearable made specifically for your set-up would be better than the Spoon ECU, no matter how many JDM fanboys tell you otherwise.

 

You are right but when I change my settings the Spoon ECU learnd it...

Have anybody a little bit more facts about the ECU???

Thank´s Basti

 

Ya, here's a neat fact. They don't learn, like you seem to think they do.

 

Why do you think so?? Lot´s of People had say it to me and you can read it at some Forum´s

 

The "Spoon Sports" program is simply a modified stock program that alters a few program elements and maps. Closed loop is the only form of "learning" that an OBD1 ECU does and unfortunately "Spoon Sports" has disabled this functionality.

Certainly you'll learn something when you figure out that you've wasted your money, though. Good luck!

OK, but I heard it so. What is the best System for me?? I don´t want a Turbo or Compressor..

 

too bad Spoon P73 is an obd2 ecu, how come they can chip an obd2 ecu and no other program can? Seems they have something going right where others have failed.
This is a solution for those who want to/have to keep OBD2.

 

Nobody has failed to chip OBD2. It's possible to do and there are several ways to do it. It's time consuming and expensive, which I certainly don't see as a viable solution when OBD1 conversions are so cheap and reliable.

 

The Spoon ECU features advanced fuel and timing maps to compensate for advanced modifications made to the vehicle. By setting the computers characteristics in ranges of stability for overall fuel injection, gas-emission temperature, ignition timing and other similar factors, it was possible to achieve high levels of power output.

The table below shows the differences between OEM and Spoon ECU\'s.

hope this helps.... i think i have to agree with the other guys who replied to you that you will be wasting your money with bumps up redline and drops vtec but then again its ur $$$$$$$$ good luck

fyi back in the day i bought the Mugen N1 ecu all it did was cost me more for gas ...still have and cant sell it cus of the improvements of stand alone and chips .....

 

Damn, that's cold as ice lol.

 

Ha ha ha! But he's right!

I bought one and hit the dyno yesterday.

Stock ECU = 177.4 whp 124 wtq
Spoon ECU = 177.1 whp 124 wtq

Conclusion:
8900 redline
Vtec at 4800 or 4900
No speed cut

Spoon ECU = Big Joke on JDM fanboys
