Think I'll buy the hondata and tsx ecu
Before anything else...
Coz I'm guessing I can just run that and when I do more mods just retune....
Few things I have to take care of. The car has 166xxx now. Its super clean but stuff doesn't last forever...
Needs clutch (will do slightly lighter flywheel) and power steering pump is squeezing its head off... Lol so gotta do things slow. Just hope the car doesn't run lean... :S
Modern ecu's are self learning. Over time the ecu will richen up the mixtures a bit, but obviously not as accurately as tuning will
Highly doubt you'll cause any damageQuote:

The engine majority of the time won't be damaged, it will adjust itself the best it can to protect the engine. Having said that it means it probably not giving the best performance or economy because it can only do so much ;)
not when you do full throttle - ECU goes to open loop (you hit accelerator pedal to floor), "self learning" is done only when ECU is in closed loop. In such way works Honda ECU and most other ECUs.Quote:

WOT all day every day.Quote:
