Default ECU questions??

I have an 98 Civic EX is worth it to get one of those ecu jumpers and convert it from an obd-II to an obd-I. Im a little confused on if I should do this and put a rechipped obd-I ecu in my car or save a little money and get the obd-II rechipped. I have found a few places that can do it now but it is a one time only thing no more rechipping after the first time. I have a different cam, and some other work done and I know that the factory rev limit should probably be taken out. What should I do.

actually i was wondering the same thing as u, i know g-force can chip the obd2 ecu's now. i was thinking of having my rev limit removed and than using a super afc or field fuel controller to fine tune the map.

I would like the rev limit and speed limit removed what does g-force charge to rechip the obd-II. I know of only two or three places that rechip the obd-II's.

Actually there are lots of places that chip OBD2 ecus. Its just the cost that turns those away to OBD1 (You could find a Mugen copy OBD1 chip for $50).


IMO-it is better to chip the OBD2 ecu, (Its like comparing your desktop computer, Would you want to reprogram your older, slower pentium 2 or your faster processing pentium 4?)
