Wow...long sentence.


OBD2 ecus cannot be chipped, so you could use it as is, and that's it.


You'll need to get an adapter harness the goes from obd2 to obd1 if you want to run a chipped ecu, which is your best option.

in other words i sjould just get a vtec ecu out of a like 92-95 civic ?

hahaha....punctuation sucks huh? I'd suggest the obd1 ecu w/vtec or components to run the head and a turbo map when boosted. Its pretty simple huh....

whys that this is an every day drivin car. so ill need a good street tune thats not goin to be so crazy to reach 300hp i mean ill be going for more sooner or later and the way i was looking at it is why turbo go get tuned then a few months down the rode have to be retuned for my head ? well thats just how i was looking at it
