fukin lost on this one part...
 

ok so im lost on engine management... i dont want to spend a crazy amount on hondata.. so what exactly would i need... for a 98 d16y7.. would it be cheaper to get chrome r what?? im just lost on exactly looking for and getting... i know i freakin sound like a noob... but u know what... you were a noob to at one point :) lol so hook me up with some knowledge so i can change from a noob...

Megasquirt

extra injector controller will be perfect for low boost applications. cheapest on on the net is 200.00 + shipping. you will need fuel rail, fuel line, bosch injectors and injector bungs to complete this setup. you can put one injector in each intake runner or you can put two larger injectors on your boost pipe before the throttle body.

this setup allows you to use your factory fuel system and tuning. this is the cheapest/safest way to go with out re-flashing or replacing your stock computer. it retains all emissions so you can be legal as well.

dude im just going to guess u live in USA so go with a chipped ecu with chrome man. tune it urself, it may cost a little more but its well worth it.

Unfortuneatly here in australia no one tunes with chrome or any of those freeware programs so weve gotta make do with ------ hondata!!!

So if no one tunes with chrome, why can't you still buy it and tune it yourself? Can you do that?

I dont know chrome but i can say megasquirt (hardware) with tunerstudio MS (software) works. I have been using it and the learning curve is fast and the tunerstudio MS if free and easy. It works with the mega view datalogger so the amount of information that you can gain is a great deal. the mega costed about $400 but you do need to do your homework on setup and wiring but there are base maps once its hooked up that should be able to get the car started.
