civicturbo79 Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 With any ecu change the best thing is to get it mapped to the car as an ecu from some else will course engine damage unless mapped to suit the engine . Rich. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlunkyVTEC Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 I'd put it in the latter category:- First of all there is no such thing as one standard ECU for all modifications out there (extreme example: you can't expect an ECU that is mapped for a Turbo build to work on a full NA build), this should be individually mapped by a pro so this map would probably only work on the car that it came from- The add mentions that the ECU does not have a speed limiter. For as far as I know our generation Civic (whatever engine / model) does not have one so this seems like a dodgy selling arguement from someone who does not know what he's taling about- Increasing the redline from 8500 rpm to 9200 rpm on an otherwise stock engine can cause serious damage (valve retainers not coaping etc.)- The add mentions that it will work on 1992 and 1995 Civic or Del Sol and on a B18. For as far as I know these models were never made with a B18 engine (MB6 started > 1995) so this is yet another doubtfull knowledge point. Furthermore an ECU should be mapped for a specific engine type, the model car should not matter.- For as far as I know Skunk2 just do hardware stuff and not ECU's- 18 BHP with minor or no further engine mods is very unlikely. You would probably see 5 BHP at the most on with a mapped ECU on a stock engine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest VTi-Stephen Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 thats what i was thinkin too, skunk2 don't do ecu's. The hole way that he was selling the item sounded dodgy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
