- Tue Apr 22, 2008 12:25 am #51970 when people switch out there ecu does it make a power gain. meaning if i change my ecu for a better one, will there be a hp gain? jw

- Tue Apr 22, 2008 12:44 am #51971 it depends how the ecu is tuned.

- Tue Apr 22, 2008 12:46 am #51972 so i have a d15b7 what ecu could i use? and how do they tune it? i know you have to take it to someone who knows how but jw how the do it?

- Tue Apr 22, 2008 1:08 am #51975 I'm kind of curious myself.


good question.

- Tue Apr 22, 2008 1:33 am #51979 no. a switch out of an ECU will not improve your power.


The only way it would is if the ECU has been chipped and tuned. Tuning requires software, (romulator) or burned chip to tune, wideband o2 sensor and a good tuner.

- Tue Apr 22, 2008 1:34 am #51980 how do you chip and tune it? is it something you buy or is it done when tuned? what ecu would be good for my motor?

- Wed Apr 23, 2008 10:43 pm #52298 hondata or aem ems are both a fine way to go but both are a better idea after you have modified the engine internals then you can get the most out of those parts you have installed. hondata is around 550 and aem ems is around a 1100. the tune is going to cost more and is a necessity. find out who are authorized dealers in your area and they can help you get in touch with a tuning facility.

- Thu Jun 12, 2008 8:40 am #58181 Tunning & chipping isn't something you should just try if you don't know much about it. Find someone who does it and is good at it and have them show you hands on, its also good to have some electrical engineering background knowledge to know about your circuits etc.. on the ecu. Start soaking in the info.
