Pre-Tuned ECU swap over a standard

[locote]

no you are not right.

that's like saying someone that tunes V8 supercars or lawnmowers can also tune a honda engine.

Locote you need to learn there is a lot more to engine management and tuning than fast 1/4 mile times and max HP figures !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

anyone can build one and "tune" it but if it blows up on the dyno or at the track etc.. then you have your answer.

You started with this little rant...
Didnt mumy love enough is that ur problem???

YOU NEED TO LEARN THAT U DONT DRIVE ANYTHING SPECIAL!!
i can say that because i have same model car as you...

Get over urself mate at the end of the day ur car is just one of millions of civics made by honda..
And what u have done to it has been done BETTER by so many other ppl...

Interesting.. will have to look into this further.. and yeah i was aware of the process that the rom is tuned live then the program burnt onto the chip.. but that was my point that essentially it's a chipped ecu with the chip being tuned for your car.. so it is a good option i CAN see the advantages but the biggest disadvantage is that we have no tuner over here as I said.

am not dissing the capabilities of Hondata - dont get me wrong.. but we must be clear to those who are jsut looking at ECU options that perhaps the Hondata units are only good if you have access to a competent tuner etc.

but IF you have access to one of these tuners (like dyno dave etc) then yes you got a great option - can be tuned for track reliability and balance OR max HP whatever your purpose is.. jsut depends on the skills of the tuner. .bla bla bla..

will still keep the spoon ECU as i believe it still has a lot of potential but after i install cams i MAY reconsider my ECU option to something that is completely tunable if I am not happy with the result.

what modifications does the spoon ecu recomend you have before installing it?

[locote]

A belief that there is a GOD, is a good start

i'm trying to establish if the spoon ecu is any good if you dont have the recomended spoon products it was designed and tested with.

at wahonda we rather someone friendly and wants to enjoy cruising and talking and having fun, rather than a "know-it-all" who is out to prove his superiority and knowlage, not only have we already taken him but he has been a friendly, helpful guy towards the majority of the members, and i dont see why we wouldn't allow him to join our forum and talk to people who also love hondas, do you? at WAhonda we dont "accept" and "reject" people based on what or who they know...thats why in my opinion WAhonda will always be a much nicer, friendly environment, and both me and mike (sinister) hope that it becomes more and more popular for all Perth based Honda people, and we get the only thing we lack at the moment, activity, since we are a new site.

if you like, your welcome to join , as i said, everyone is, but if u do, leave ur arguments and stuff either on Ozhonda or ur forums where i presume its alloud?

thanks

They can work OK, if you stray from their exact combination it is tuned to work with, they don't work that well at all.
Further, for the gains that you get with one of these ECU's, realisticly you'd get the same or better with something as cheap & simple as a VAFC II.
You will need someone to tune it, but it's really not rocket sceince.

For best results:
Find a tuner you trust & get the aftermarket programable ECU he prefers to use.
