Skunk2 ECU help
I did a search, and couln't find anything. so..Has anyone ever used the Skunk2 ECU? How well does it work?.I'm going with Skunk2 Stage 1 cams, retainers, valve springs, cam gears, new timing belt, water pump, R-type sway bar.
I already have AEM CAI, DC 4-1, and Greedy exhaust. The guy at the shop told me I should get 10-15 from the just the chip alone. Are these things pretty safe? I don't want to go with Hondata, are VAFC, since I'm going to get the Stage 1 cams. The car has 83,000 miles on it, and runs great now... I want more power, but don't want turbo or nitrous, and don't want to screw with pistons, rings, rods, yet.. This is going to be $2000 + job, so I want make sure my $$$ is well spent. I know the stage 2 cams are better, but I don't want screw with all that tuning.Sorry for the long post, but I wanted to make sure I'm clear and to the point. And I guess I need that damn harness from II to I..
Thanks

If you're interested I have the Mugen program. Check out my signature link below or hit me up privately if you're interested in an ECU upgrade. $160 shipped. I also sell jumper harnesses too. I'm actually in the middle of revamping the ECU Upgrade section of Jdmhondaparts.com....so Jumper info isn't too readily available just yet. It will be soon tho...

Re: Skunk2 ECU help (96_GSR)
so I need that nonsense conversion harness for the Mugen ECU. Is the Mugen better then the Skunk2? Differences? How much is the harness. Do I need to send you my ECU for the Mugen program..I read your FAQ, and I didn't see anything on that.
Thanks

Mugen/Skunk P28 program is the same exact program....the names just get tossed around on the net making people think they're different programs.
Hit me up privately if you'd like additional info on reprogramming and the ecu jumper...
thanks..
