Re: Tuning an 1990 Honda
It's not mentioned plainly anywhere on the website, but I'm assuming to use Honda Tuning Suite you'll need at minimum a chipped ECU and a chip burner. It is basically just config software for building/editing the tune that would then get burned (or uploaded if so equipped) to the modified, tunable ECU.
As far as I'm aware there is no chipping solution for PM5 ECUs.
D15B2 is a good engine to leave alone. You could have a little fun with a custom wet nitrous system until spontaneous disassembly. then swap in something worthwhile. That's a fun chassis so a swap would be worth the effort.
good luck
