A chip is not a tune. It's a basemap.
First, your ECU has to be chippable.
Then it has to be socketted.
Contact Xenocron or Phearable if all you want to do is run a chip.

If you want it tuned you get Neptune, Hondata, AEM, etc and teach yourself or go to a tuner with a dyno.

I'm really tight on money so a basemap is what I want for now before I tune it

call or go to phearable.net tell him your mods and set up ... 40 bux later he will send you a basemap that will be to your house in a few days... his basemaps are pretty good.. ive never had any problems with them..Only if your ecu is already chipped... if you do not have a chipped ecu then you will need to buy one.... just because its "JDM" doesn't mean anything ... just put a stock b16 ecu in and go with it

With what you have done, you most likely will feel little to no difference after its tuned. Its a lot of cash to put out to see the 5 or less hp you'll get from those bolt ons. Your stock ecu is running the car just fine. Wait to put up that type of money when you do some real work to the motor.
