Yea, i got this 94 civic ex and everything is stock. I bought that obd1 ecu trying to upgrade it but it still lag. No check engine comes on, can't really feel any vtec kick in and it bug out at 7500 still. The new ecu suppose to redline at 9200 and vtec kick in at 4800. I dunno but the ecu isn't working right. I just need some advice on what to do .

of course your car is not going to run right, do yourself a favor and put your stock ecu back in.

1. Sounds like you got fucked.

2. You know you can't rev that engine anywhere near 9200 rpm in stock form, right?

3. It's SOHC VTEC and you will be lucky to hear it, let alone feel it.

4. Skunk2 chip is absolute dogshit for 99.99% of setups, and it doesn't even sound like it was installed in the ECU.

Shhhh, don't tell! You'll ruin the suprise!

If you got this off ebay, it's probably junk.
