ECU for Civic Type R worth it?

Because my friend - I want to.

Someone needs to fight the incorrect information posted. Me Will and Jonny are doing shifts - I think Will takes over at 2pm :p

Wierd how you know StuarttheFish, he also spouted rubbish and also had an MB6. He also appeared to get into tantrums over the internet due to an inferiority complex about owning a Civic rather than an Integra, his mission appeared to be to convince people (mainly himself I think) that his engine was as good as the Integras engine. I can just see both of you reading stuff you like and tapping furiously to get your reply out before you forget everything you want to say. Oh and making sure you dish out many exclaimation marks to try and increase the effect of your sentances.

Funny that, because you get that excited about posting that you post, then edit more onto it, hypocrit.

When did I say my engine was as good as in Integra? I said it was the same as an SiR and it wasnt out of caring which is better it was out of prooving to JonnyCoupe that he was saying I had a crap list of cars and should have bought a Type-R , why didnt he take his own of advice so once again, you have to make things up to get one over, so pathetic.

Now you see that makes it fact that this is being done on purpose.

Post where I am wrong? I was wrong about the compression thing but it was me who said that in the first place. This has gone beyond pathetic now, its only because you touch each other where you wee that you have it in for me, not that it bothers me that you have it in for me, the amount of times that people have had to make things about me just to get one over proves that.

Relentless, you have to ask yourself why you seem to be getting a lot of flak?

It's ok to make mistakes.
 
With the MB6 vs. Integra thing, there used to be a similar things with the Corsa SRi and VXR and they are a bit more similar but just as ****ing annoying. Its always started by the owners of the lesser model.

A Corsa SRI and VXR do not have the same engine do they?

We are not talking about the Integra Type-R, we are talking about the SiR. Do you actually know what is being discussed or are you just jumping on the bandwagon
 
I don't care about the engine - something is different if there is 10bhp between them - but an engine does not a car make :)

Nice one Yoda but thats not what we are talking about is it. Fact is i'm happy to admit I wrong about the compression thing. I have said it a thousand times now, the ECU is different. Selective reading for the saying of continuing a stupid argument, your shift now is it?

I dont own an MB6, I havent owned one for four years, what have I got to prove. Joking? Righhhhhhht
 
Simon said:
B18C is 10.6:1 Compression (same as USDM Type R)

B18C4 is 10:1 Compression

All MB6 owners seem to ignore this fact though and wax lyrically about how they are the 'same'

Thats a Type-R engine isnt it? We are talking about Type-R engines, we are talking about B18C none Type-R engines. Again, I dont own an MB6! Why would I care!
 
ding ding I'm back....

Can I ask why have you taken over JonnyCoupe? First Will Gill says FI a Honda without an ECU, I say thats rubbish and then the thread explodes with me getting insane amounts of grief because how dare I retaliate and of course my car has a gearbox problem and its an unreliable pile of rubbish as was diagnosed through OCUK motors.

you really are the new walter mitty,

are you really insinuating that I recommended modding a car by adding a forced induction solution and removing the ecu? I appreciate you probably meant no ECU tuning but I'm going to be pedantic. re-read my posts which aren't editted you will see I recommended FI and went on to say the stock internals could easily support the mod, at no point did I dismiss or embrace a re-map.

Regarding your toyota, I questioned its reliability based on my limited experience to it, please forgive me for classing a car thats had two problems in two weeks unreliable I truely got the wrong end of the stick there....I also never once called your marque a pile of rubbish this was also a figment of you insecure imagination.

to be fair most of the threads I've shared with JohnnyCoupe have been me clashing horns with him over my distinct disliking of vtec engines, Simon I've met, thoroughly nice chap, can't say I instantly wanted to touch his weener but now he drives a hairdressers car I am warming to the idea, who knows if I met you maybe we could hit it off you certainly seem to have a lot of built up angst might be a good way to release it?

I can't help wondering why most people seem to disagree/take objection with your posting style, could it be you are going about things the wrong way and alienating people as a result? there's no smoke without fire dear sir

Well that gives a fairly good idea, ECU and FI go hand in hand on NA so maybe you should have elaborated.

I dont know who Walter Mitty is I am afraid so i'll take that on the chin! Actually the guy I work with just explained it was a film or book from the 50's about a guy who lives in a fantasy world, I see what you did there.

I must admit I am actually laughing at your post, in a humerous way, it is quite funny so yeah if we did meet I can assure you I am not shy and willing to try anything once.

Ah my posting style, yes its come under fire before now, but then i've also met a lot of people off forums too and once I have met people I tend to get on with them a lot more when back on the forums, a trend that been consistant for a few years now

Oh come on I was being light hearted, its not a quip I thought it was funny, obviously I was wrong

correct me if im wrong but you'd still need the Kpro or whatever for tweaking with forced induction anyway? So whilst waiting to go turbo why not add a Kpro anyway?

to me its not like u can go turbo and forgoe the cost of the Kpro.

but say u were to buy a 2nd hand Kpro for £600? and then sell it off when you sell the car for £400? or even £500 ? the cost wasnt exactly huge but with a few breathing mods would see nice gains. Without having to splash on a turbo set up which has labour charge implications on top of the cost of the turbo kit.
 
if i could find an apexi handheld tuner for cheap for my corolla and didnt have to do a lot of rewiring or buy a harness for like £200 id get one for my car, even though the top ends gains would never be huge. being able to adjust the crossover point.

thing is it would cost me a grand, lots of faffing, limited sell on etc. with the honda alternative the gains are possibly slightly larger, the cost is lower and the chance to sell on is higher and recoup more of the cost.
