So I finally got my chipped pm6 ecu with the new timing and fuel maps that match the p28 and WOW! Now I truly have SOHC VTEC power.

The guys saying go the OBD1 route are right! BUT you can achieve the same results using turboedit on a chipped OBD0 ecu like I did.

This rendered such a huge difference for those of you using the rpm activated switch to control your vtec. You are missing out if you dont get those proper fuel and timing maps.

I also love launch control!

Thanks to Xenocron for sending me the chipped ecu and burning the proper maps for me

 

 

If my mini-me would start I would be there with ya...

 

if you love vtec so much in a single cam, you'd freak out with a dual

 

yeah, im lovin my vtec .

 

Its amazing what the right way will do
Running a switch pretty much makes the car slower then the stock A6 so why do people do it? so the can say they have vtec?

 

 

where did you get the ground strap that's on your valve cover?

i been seeing alot of ppl with those. i would like to know too

 

If you love VTEC, get an LS VTEC. Best of both worlds )

 

i got a sohc vtec and just went obd1 route, ur right u can get the same results getting a chip.

i just like the obd1 route

I think one of the differences between chipped OBD 1 and chipped OBD 0 ecus is that the OBD 1 ECU's have better resolution on the maps which allows for more fine tuning.

That's just what I heard though.

Thank you.

I've been telling people this forever, but everyone is a cheap and/or lazy idiot and never wants to listen.

Now I have a thread to use for reference.

I prefer no-TEC. Low-end torque, a smooth idle, good emissions, and decent fuel economy are all for wimps

haha. yea a better running car is for pussies.

 

BTW i know vtec makes the engine pull harder bud does it retain the fuel econmy? will a non-vtec motor and a Vtec motor get about the same MPG?

Depends on how the non-VTEC engine is tuned . . . for high-RPM or low-RPM use?

 

IDK ur avrage motor. like for a daily driver?

I get 26 mpg shifting at 5k and the occasional 8k shift (2-3 per day). I got 35 mpg on the d15b2.
It only costs $17 for a tank of 91. 26 mpg is good considering how much fun you have.

I could probably get better gas mileage if i didn't run 48 psi of fuel and shifted sooner .

 

You can get the ground straps at your local autoparts store. For me that is an Autozone so I know they have them. There with all of the battery cables and stuff.

autozone

 

I got my ground straps at Lordco... I got one for the tranny ground too.

Anyone else using this setup?
I plan to turbo soon so this is ideal.
