well ive been thinking about looking for a good chip for my car but dont know which to get. well i guess i will start off with what i want out of the chip, as anyone else im sure more hp's. vtec to engage sooner and end later. reliability. and something that i may be able to use with a turbo setup in the future (refer to previous post about "TTing" a prelude) imputs are appreciated so have at it.

1. Pre programmed chips are worthles
2. Leave your VTEC where its at
3. Vtec never "ends"
4. Go with Hondata

 

which hondata i got kinda confused when i went to the site im more a mechanical component mechanic. some help please.

 

yeah, i agree, i would leave the vtec where it's at, i've seen people run better without their vtec controller. unless, when your shifting to while racing, if your not in vtec at the beginning of your gear, then i might lower vtec a little bit. it's good to have vtec right when you shift. can't go wrong with Hondata or Greddy E-Manage. my two cents

 

Hondats S-100.. then you can add the options for boost later on

 

thanks for the advice, appreciate it.

 

well if you go with hondata, you're gonna have to invest in a different ecu, like a p72 or p28, because hondata does work with lude ecu's. i don't know too much about hondata, but i know there is different programs like s100 and s200. s100 is a little bit more simpler and cheaper.

Ideally what you should do is use a VTEC controller to turn your VTEC engagement point way up, and run it on a dyno. Then set your VTEC pretty low and run again. Lay the two charts over each other and see where the best overlap lies between the two, and set your VTEC crossover point to that RPM. This will get the maximum benefits from each set of cam lobs

 

Just FYI, the P72 is the 'teg GSR ECU. The P28 is the Civic EX/Si. You'll want to do your homework and find out which system will work best for you. Different injectors, different sensors turned on or off, different voltages....any one of a number of things could screw it up. Research research research.
