okay im new to honda, and i want to chip my grocey getter d16y7 its all stock besides intake and catback, fuelpump/filter, timing belt, and i keep up maintience like oil changes regularly

if i chip it can i get more out of it? i dnt care about fuel effeciency i just wanna get more out of it wile im out around town, can i 2 step it?
i dont know can i get neptune or chrome or something cheap to get more out of this motor its gutless

 

IIRC the D16Y7 is OBD2 so therefore you cannot chip your current ECU. You could do an OBD1 conversion and get a chipped OBD1 P06 and have it tuned. Your probably not going to gain much power out of a tune on a stock setup. You will be able to set up a 2 step / launch control and full throttle shift. On a stock D16 that's not going to gain you much ether.

 

jus save up for a Ls or b16 swap cheapest in price and ull get to more places if your looking for a quic hp gain

 

Ok, we've all been noobs to the honda game

there are alot of routes to take

figure out what your goal is first


just by your post it looks like you want to go a little faster by cheapest route
=
nitrous, undoubtedly the best bang for your buck

if you want to make a hobby out of your car
=
turbo your d
or
swap to a b, d, h, k, j


get to work

 

to back track a little
you can convert to obd1 and get it tuned (crome-free, neptune, or ectune OR hondata$$)
that would gain you a little
but would definitely be the start of a good foundation for all future mods

best of luck


oh, yeah,,, get back to work

 

okay so my d16y7 is basicle slow unless u rebuild fully and turbo and by then thats more then enough to buy a b series that you can make even more numbers on?
