my ecu
my ecu was chipped and whatever was done is causing me to run rich. i talk to the shop i take my car to and he said it would be like 400 to reprogram it and put it on chrome and that should free up alot of power im missing. but my question is if i jus put a virgin ecu in i should run normal if not better right? and when i have to money i can just get it put on chrome and all that mess right?

Re: my ecu
What car do you have? is it chipped on crome already? I can write you another basemap for like 10 bucks. I also have a few virgin ecu's that I am not looking to get a fortune for either. Let me know what's up, I'm down to help out.

Re: my ecu
There is nothing wrong with the ECU, so the cheapest thing to do (instead of buying another ECU) would be to get someone to burn a stock chip for you, which will make it a stock ECU.. If you have much in the way of mods though, a stock ECU isn't the greatest idea.

Re: my ecu
thats word dude i was thinking of a type R basemap. and naw its not on crom that i know of its chipped by phearable.net which i was told is crap but when ever vtec kicks in i blow out black smoke and da guy i had look at it said its running rich due to the ecu chip. right now its a p28 chipped can you put the type R basemap on a virigin p28 for me and let me know how much that would be. another guy at the shop i take my car to says he can hook me up for a good price for a tunned ecu i jus gotta let him know

Re: my ecu
Because of your limited mods, I would recommend a stock JDM B16 (P30) program (with the knock sensor disabled obviously) which will be great, and you can get some minor other stuff tweaked while you're at it, like the VTEC engagement point. Otherwise, the better way to go is to actually get YOUR CAR tuned.
