NIKH25 Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 I have a very similar set up on my MB ( type r cams, skunk 2 inlet,skunk 2 70mm throttle body, 4-1 manifold,de-cat,cold air induction kit,full exhaust) currently I'm running a stock B18C4 ecu and she runs sweet as a nut with no engine management light on,drives fine and all I did was plug in the vacuum valve for the 2 stage inlet which is all you'll have left over from changing the inlet manifold As for ECU though - on the 2nd of September Performance Auto Works are fitting me a Hondata S300 ecu with slight wiring mods and then tuning the whole car on a dyno.i would recommend getting yours re mapped as I do feel mine is slightly holding back due to the amount of mods carried out. Ultimately it will run better with a re map! I'll let you know how I get on and then I'll be in a better place to advice It will be interesting to see how much difference the ecu and mapping makes, you'll be rolling it before I take it??

Honda Paul Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 I should get print out's from before and after, I'm hoping for 190-200bhp. Be interesting to see what the first run is with all the mods and not tuned though! To be honest I'm expecting a power loss from standard to start with.....

noodels Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 Get crome for lots less £s no need to spend £600+dyno costs for hondata s300 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honda Paul Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 Crome? I've not heard of that noodles...... I did have a guy who had made a map setting for my ecu and could fit the chip for £200. My gripe with that was how can u accurately adjust the map if you don't run it on a dyno?? Yes you can get it prety close with out doing dyno runs but atleast having the figures in front of u rather than trial and error u can get it perfect.

Honda Paul Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 I will have to bair this in mind. My cars already booked in the performance autoworks and I've payed a deposit so I will still go ahead with that first......I must admit, reading your link noodles it does sound like a good bit of kit however I've not heard of it and I certainly don't know of any tuned cars that run this who have recommended it. Have you tried it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noodels Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 ps dont think you would get a chip in your pk9 ecu its ob2 and not chippable thats why you need obd1 http://mycomputerninja.com/~jon/www.pgmfi.org/twiki/bin/view/Library/WebHome.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen alot of piggy back systems for sale before for ecu's but I must admit I just wanted to do it right first time without cutting anycorners. Yeh it's costing a fortune but atleast when it's all done if I want to upgrade the car further then I'll never have to worry about upgrading ecu's anymore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiNK43 Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 Crome is really good. My car is tuned on Crome gold. There's not a lot it cant do. Even plug ins for boost control if turboed or whatever. Good stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
