You can do it when you install and programm a modified ECU. I have it done in my CB7, with the P28 that runs my H22. It's so small that it really isn't all that useful, though. You can get a real shift light without having to get a whole tach. I've known people to mount them in a vent. Kinda cool.

really?is the install the same as modding the ecu like u said.u made a good point too it is really small might as well look at the tach.

Within most ECU tuning programs, you can set the CEL shift light. That's the easy part. Tuning the ECU takes quite a bit of knowledge, and you have to be able to do that as well.

i have no clue how to program an ecu. ill leave it to the pros.thanks deev.who knows maybe ill learn it in school might make a living off of it.

[deevergote]

You won't learn it in school, I'm sure.

Check out the ECU Tuning subforum in the Performance section. It's not all that hard... just a lot to learn.

ok ill look but do u know of a decent program to tune the ecu.and kinda cheap at that or a free download some were.

[deevergote]

All that is covered in the ECU Tuning section.

Look into Uberdata and Crome. They are the most common, and there are free versions of both. Mine was tuned with Uberdata. One of the guys that runs the tuning shop down the street from me actually helped write part of Crome.

First you should figure out what ECU you want to chip. Now then find a company that sells the customizable chips and when your looking for the one you might want make sure they have their own site to download all the GOODIES.
This should help, it's really not that hard of a project, and the performance gain from a chipped ECU is good and it will automatically set you up for future mods. GL. ~!PEACE!~.

Ummm... no. Not at all. Perhaps you should also take a look at the section that I suggested. I DID create that section for a reason... you know, so people can learn about these things, and not spread misinformation? Yeah.
