what about in my case where there are no options for tuning besides hondata(if that), damn h23...
Sorry dude, but I don't really know enough to respond in your case. At least your motor has some torque in stock trim. Oh, and your car looks nice.

yea seems there isn't much on the h23 after browsing on pgmfi and uberdata forums... one guy might have made a base map but we will see.. thanks!

I don't see why you couldn't go to the dyno and make a base map up. You have to use uberdata right? Well I would think that you could just socket your ecu like regular and then be the first to make a prelude base map. Why not. Check to see if the ecus are the same as far as chipability if thats a word

underdata - $120
dyno - $250

= $370 = *** load of money - great performance

fmu - $40 brand new

= get me running and go pretty quick

what would you rather go with

why do you need a dyno right away, i said a basemap will run BETTER and SAFER than an fmu. you already have a pr4 ecu, so uber will cost you 70 bucks, that's it. show me a link for a brand new fmu for 40 bucks. would you rather run 6 psi unsafely or 10-12 psi safely with launch control, shift light, ign. retard, etc. if you get an fmu, you're gonna have to retard your distributor and your bottom end will pull like ***. i've already told you the basics of what you need, you keep adding in all these expenses making it out to be pricey, it's not. i never tuned my car, meaning, no money for dyno, and ran 15 psi. just get an fmu and blow your engine up on 5 psi, then tell us which cost more

I am going uberdata now!! i get the idea lol..

so i can put a base map from a turbo h22(im sure there are some posted here) on a chipped p06 ecu? would the timing be alright?(i know it varies from b series and the h23, dunno about the h22), im pretty sure it would be fine..

datalogging... i can get that enabled/installed when i get my ecu socketed right?

then i just need the prog and a laptop!

Maybe there will be a kind soul on this board that would burn me a few chips instead of me having to buy a chip burner..?

I wanna do things the right way so NO fmu! (new fmu would be like $75 on ebay, then missing link is like $40), so this might even be as cheap!

Dude, I talked to you on PM's back and forth for an hour or more. I told you the same thing that kevin already told you, or told you after I did. I think that you need to re-think your plan.

Do you already have all your parts bought for the set-up?? If so, go sell something and buy a less expensive version and use that money for uberdata.
