Ive been told that I could use a gsr ecu on my prelude vtec, and that it'll be considerably faster because of the fuel curves and what not, is this true?

 

they lied

a stock P72 (GSR) ECU will not supply suffecient fuel, you will need a add a piggy back system like a V-AFC

EDIT: yes, it will work, withput a VAFC, but you won't gain any performance

Import review has this graph where it makes more power, but it's because it's running lean. I don't see why a V-AFC tuned lude will make any more power with a P72. Unless you wanna argue that the P72 has more advanced timing, which I doubt.

 

you can gain a lot more power by something being well tuned, than with something that works by dumb luck

 

Hey my brother has a GSR I'll go plug in his to my Prelude, then I'll go out and run the car up to 8000 RPM and get back to ya'll about how I blew up my engine because of a bent valve.

I'd just get the VAFC for stock internals or Hondata if you choose to up grade your internals.

 

I take my Prelude to 8000rpm (well, 7900...close enough) all time! Shouldn't be a problem. J/P
