i read something about some mods cancelling out your CRUISE CONTROL and VSA?
Is this true?
Pretty sure any ECU upgrade will result in this.Quote:

Best horsepower mods and I've almost tried them all:
1. Headers + High flow cat (Toda/J's racing/Maximworks)
2. ECU retune (Greddy E-manage, Haltech Interceptor, Hondata)
3. Intake (Airbox/CAI) - Mugen, Injen, J's Racing, Gruppe M
4. Lightweight flywheel - Best engine response mod if you have a manual
5. Lightweight pulleys - Helps the engine rev much faster and smoother
6. Lightweight wheels - Improved acceleration off the mark and braking
7. Supercharger - very difficult to install without ECU issues in Australia (Comptech sells a supercharger kit in the US)
8. Turbocharger - even harder than supercharging, custom kit required
9. Exhaust - only useful with headers installed, minimal gain in hp
if you have the money get a k20 head and whack it on :) and plus intake , headers, exhaust and tune it and if u have more money you can throw
in a turbo or a supercharger :) put it all depends on how much money your willing to spend !

eur011, you aiming for power or torque. A lot of people think that power is everything, but when they lose torque (which matters more low down), they reckon they've gone backwards. That said, most of your mods should see benifits to both, other than perhaps RBC which is said to increase power high end but sacrifice low down.
Ive tried to balance out everything, rbc, cai > lightened fly wheel and 4-2-1 headers. i want a good all rounder. hopefully after my flashpro comes in and tune my power band will be smoother. atm car is lacking in bot-mid range torque. i will post up a dyno b4 and after once done.,
Selling my Weapon R Headers...
What cams were you looking at though? When all said and done, the main influence on a NA car's power/torque band and delivery are the cams. You can sort of cover the loss of bottom end torque with a good tuner/ecu but when you're going big cams, all civility is gone out the window [Idle, Low End, Economy, etc]. Obviously it's all relative =PQuote:

Not to put a damper on it or what not and I know Euro's have potential but you gotta go pretty hardcore to get it really shifting.
