VTC vs. JWT ECU
Okay, I've done the VTC grounding (Craig's way). Just wondering. What would give a better performance boost:

Fixing VTC's

or

Getting the JWT ECU?

Does the ECU work with the VTC? Or does it just defeat them and do it's own thing?

Thanks

Dude, your car needs to be running 100% before you start modding.
ie. fix vtcs

The ECU will work with or w/o functioning VTCs. The thing is you don't maximze the gain but you get but you do get nice gains.

I have a nearly perfect 92SE with VTC's that knock like there is no tomorrow. My opionion would be fix the VTCs first and do the ECU later.
