Funny you should mention that, because my grill topped out at 160 degrees. I need two bags of coal.. the big ones..Quote:

Oh trust me i know what your saying. Do you know any companies that make them for the B18B2 engine? I admit that as for cams i havent researched deeply but want ive been finding is that unless the car is vtec, cams dont exist.Quote:

Im no expert on cars actually im a car noob but i have seen mates go cheap with their cars and they end up running like shit and they where very unhappy in the end for the $ spent.
you just have to look at some other threads on here to see the drama's ppl are having when they do things on the cheap, i recall a turbo install....:)
Uhm.. If this is a B18B engine with some light boltons, you dont need anykind of tuning at all really.. The only thing you need, is a VTEC head and do a ls/vtec :) Then we'll talk tuning :)
ha ha that is more trouble than its worth ive heard. I just put a stop on my order for the MoTec i only placed it a couple of days ago, the shop hadnt even put the order through thank god. I have to say weq is right, i just email proECU about hondata we'll see what he says. What a head f*k.
no offence sharky, as you seem to be open to suggestions,
i do not think that you will even see very many HP from your listed mods :(
if you "can afford a motec" at least get a decent set of headers...
and IMO, anyone who says a frankenstein conversion is "more trouble than it is worth" either has never tried it, or ****ed it up...
LS/Vtec is a great mod. more power then u would expect, if u want to stay NA :) Golden eagle do install kits which make things easy...
IMO though, if u got cash for a motec, get a turbo kit/custom. b18b turbo puts out good HP, stock. :P

There is no point in changing ECU or get ECU stuff if you dont have anything on your car worth tuning more then the stock ECU already does for you in closed loop. Put your money to some real use! :)
