Euro1 and kpro k20a piggyback = You retain vsa/aircon/traction/cruise control. But you lose immobiliser (immobiliser light is always on for the kpro).

Motec = not sure.

So, how to get around these issues??? I am sure those traders who do conversion have some idea cause they say all the same....

I prefer a M3

or take the plunge and do eeeeet!

My mate had a M3 as his first car (he was 17 at the time) and ended up blowing a piston. Needed a whole new engine rebuild. Not too sure how he managed to do it.

I always thought the high to low cam wouldn't be that good for a turbo? Could you run it at high psi?

Kid with a car more powerful then he can handle... or car with more computing power then his brain.... A plain vanila 320i would already make me happy now, and at 17 a toyota echo/yaris would do good as well.

This is left of field, and i dont know much about the finer points of the Honda ECU tuning, but is there any way of re-programming them, ie the same as LS1 edit for Commodores, or SCT Flash software for Falcons?

Thats the ultimate. No piggybacks, just reprogram your ECU. No computer will ever run your car as good as the factory jobbie.

Nah... they do have DBW feature, Motec or Euro1, which you might get from their option and for sure you will not lose any of stock features. However the problem is the cost which is easily passed 2k without tuning
