          what are the actual benefits of chipping an ecu?? how hard or how much is it? and is it worth the work/price? Cant you just swap in a f22 prelude ecu and get the same effect?

          for the record, i know absolutely nothing about ecus....

            "Chipping" an ECU refers to the act of modifying it so that it can accept a custom program. The actual "chipping" is no more than purchasing the correct ECU (we can only use Civic and Integra ECUs, as Accord and Prelude ones can not be modified in the same way), buying a $20 conversion kit, and knowing how to solder and follow directions.

            The actual tuning of the ECU requires a fair amount of expensive equipment (the more equipment you have, the more you can do, and the easier it can be). It also requires a considerable amount of knowledge. We have an entire subforum dedicated to chipping and tuning ECUs for our cars in the Performance section. Check it out.


            As for the benefits... for a stock or near stock motor, you won't get much. The more you modify, the more you'll get from a custom tune. If you go with turbo, you HAVE to tune the ECU, or you will blow your motor very quickly.

              What I heard is that chipping is only changing a few wires. If thats chipping whats tuning a ecu? And should i chip my ecu even though i only have SRI? I'm getting more mods in the future but this is all i have for now.

                      A short list of modifications that do not require/need a chipped ECU.

                      1. Short Ram Intake (SRI) -or- Cold Air Intake (CAI)
                      2. Any exhaust manifold or header
                      3. Any catalytic converter -or- deleted catalytic converter
                      4. Any exhaust pipe
                      5. Any muffler

                      Possible reasons for a chipped ECU

                      1. Engine swap
                      2. Turbo charger
                      3. Fully built engine
                      Officially "hilarious mad sarcastic"! Thanks CB74christ for the recognition of my work.
