hey guys, i need some advice about what ecu to get for my obd1 upgrade. i just ordered the conversion harness and distributor, now i've got to decide one how the engine will be tuned. i'm trying to decide between going chipped or hondata. also, if i go chipped, then what software should i get to tune with? i know there are a few different types, crome, neptune, uberdata,etc. but which one is gonna be the best for my setup and which one is most supported by tuner shops?

btw, it's a b16 that won't see any boost, and the most i plan on doing is adding stage 2 cams and double valve springs. i may end up getting a b18c block sometime in the future, but not soon. the car is just gonna be used for track days not for any real competition, so i just want it to be reliable.

 

You will need an obd1 ecu to run any of those programs! I have used Crome when I first started tuning. Now I currently tune with Neptune which is a great EMS for the price you can't really beat it. But go with whatever EMS your tuner is familiar with.

If you need one I have a chipped/converted p06 ecu for sale!

 

thanks man, i already ordered one today actually. i got a p28 with a ZIF socket and i told em to just give me a stock map for now. whenever i get around to getting some cams i'll get crome or neptune or something. is it worth tuning when all you have is bolt-ons?

 

You can't really expect much from just boltons but yes it is a plus since your car is no longer stock it needs a tune.
