You can chip any ECU I think. If you know how that is.

but where do i have to go to get it chipped or what do i need ..how much?....any idea?

You can do money orders. Paypal is the safest. Just make sure you have a checking account. Even if you were scammed , you still can get your money back, and you will own the scammer hahaha.

If you can't buy from someone else, read up and do it yourself... the info is in the ECU tuning forum that was linked above. There's a LOT to learn, though. It's not simple bolt-turning... and you can do some serious damage to your engine by doing it improperly.

As for running rich, it's a bad thing. Rich means more fuel than necessary. It robs power, gunks your engine, blows black out of your tailpipe, and wastes gas. Lean is the opposite, and that's worse... not enough fuel. That's the problem people encounter when they tune an ECU. Leaning out the air/fuel mixture helps to increase power to a point... but after a certain point, the mixture becomes unstable, and can ignite violently (the gas is there to control the burn of oxygen, which is what actually makes engine power). When that happens, things break.


Go to your local bookstore. Buy a book called "Honda/Acura Engine Performance" by Mike Kojima. Read it. Cover to cover. Read it until you understand it. It's easy to understand, well laid out, and a full understanding of the stuff in that book will put you at the level of 80% of the people on this board. You'll be able to do MUCH more with your car once you know that stuff! I started with that book, and I was educating people before I even touched a wrench myself!

-hey there i dont think that swapping ur ecu for 1 out of a a6 will remove ur top speed limiter lol i have tried and my a1 still cuts out at 185 kph so there must b something else that controls the cut out.

No its most likely you did not get a pt6 which is why your car is still cutting off. Anyway Deev I have that book lol its been collecting dust in my room back home for a while lol.

On a stock car chipped ECU is not recommended. If you are plannin on building your engine , a chipped ECU will be a good investment.

Swapping factory CB7 ECU's won't give you performance gains.

Do you really have experience in this field?

Why wouldnt a chipped ecu be good for a stock engine? We all know that honda tunes the factory base map to run rich. When you get the ecu tuned the tuner can lean the mixture out enough to give you a full burn to the point of making the most power and not blowing anything up.

Also a chipped and tuned ecu will increase your gas mileage.

Any why wouldnt swapping a stock ecu give you any gains? The F22A6 is basically the same engine, Just the external parts are different. Swap on the external parts and change the ecu and you will have a better engine.

A stock engine won't see any gains worth the cost, effort, or risk (when involving a new tuner). Turbo makes it necessary. Heavy NA will benefit, since every hp counts when going NA. An engine with all the bolt-ons won't really do all that much, but gas mileage and emissions will improve. That's honestly all I hoped to get from my tune, and it worked wonders.

The PT6 from the F22A6 won't give much in the way of gains without at the very least the F22A6 intake manifold. With the PT6, H23 intake manifold, A6 cam, A4 header, an intake, and a 2.25" exhaust, you can probably see some decent gains on an F22A1... possibly as much as 15-20whp if the engine is healthy.

There isn't much risk tuning a stock F22A, or even mild. There's A LOT of room for error, which makes for a good learning platform.

But I do agree that it isn't worth the MONEY to tune it. But the results are significant tho. Probably does more than adding an intake.
