chipping the ecu?
what kind of mod makes the most gains with the least labor?
i chipped the ecu from a 4 cyl accord 5spd and it was an amazing thing to do.
i have a 5 spd i30t with 92k i wanna know is it worth to chip it?
btw its completely stock so what else can i do to feel a difference in speed/acceleration?
i did all mechanical services needed at this milage so dont tell me coil packs/o2 sensors/sparkplugs or tuneup.
thanks fellas.

They're not 'chipped' as you'd think of it. It's not like socketing a Honda ECU.
Get a modified ECU, yes it's worth it. JWT, TS, etc.
There's a lot of stuff you can do to 'feel a difference' in speed/acceleration, what sort of budget do you have?
Depending on budget, it can go from just a Y to Nitrous/Turbo/Blower.

hmmm..any one have some useful info? i know i can search but whats the use of being a part of the org...
i could "search" but i would rather read the opinions of other ppl who did mods that either approve or not...
the budget is a factor but thats why you think about the ratio of cost : gain
its not about just pourin money into the dam thing..its about what makes it cost effective...anyway..that wasnt much help at all so please
if u got a minute...use it to write something "effective" . help or....

hope this doesnt start a fire,,,,

whoa, easy guy..
like he said.. depends on the budget.
your a broke college kid: Y-Pipe, B-Pipe, Pulley, IM/EM Headers; 00VI/MEVI, ECU Upgrade Mabey..
This is your track car and your a single guy with a steady job and no blood sucking lady friend to steal your dough: Turbo/Supercharger, Full Exhaust System, ECU Upgrade,IM/EM Headers; 00VI/MEVI.
this is just the typical mods i see from people on here...
i fall into the first category unfourtuantely, and living where i do on the budget im on, General Maintnence and School comes first.

All the opinions for all these and DYNO proved gains for parts are out there...just look around.
congrats you can make a thread and blow it in 5 mins.

along with what this dude said, i'm from the honda scene just now gettin into the max's, can a maxima motor be spun higher than 6500? ( i assume that is the stock redline)
cause i LOVE going to at least 7200 and my current car goes to 8500 so i'm kinda addicted to high redlines and once i get my new maxima i'm wondering if can basically do what this dude is doing and buy a new ecu or have stock one chipped...

If you want to rev to holy hell just for the pure sake of doing so, get a damn bike.
And as for 'stickshifta'...

believe me i already know that, i have a heavily modified NA vehicle with a chipped ecu now and blah blah etc etc, but if you modified the air/fuel ratio maps in the ecu then you would be capable of making power in that range, plus w/e mods i did to the max, my point is i'll worry about modding the ecu, can the motor in maximas handle a higher redline of at least like 7K with the right mods??

there is nothing wrong with enjoying a high redline, and i'm not doing it JUST to do so either...

Yes, it can, but it doesn't make much power up there, especially not with the USIM.
You can't modify the ECU in the A32, just get a reflashed unit. That's being worked on, though.
It's not just the AFR, there just plain isn't any power up top without a good choice of mods.

IIRC the stock rev limiter cuts fuel at 8550 but continuse spark a little longer, i might be rong though, but without a mevi/00vi or simalar mod for top end power there is no need, that's just waisted fuel

What do you mean? Fuel is cut at 6550, not 8550. Spark is what continues out to ~8 grand or so.

We're not here to spoon feed you. Everything you asked has been answered 100x. Hence....SEARCH.
Search.
Search.
Did I say search?
No?
SEARCH!

Dun...
To the OP - I understand that forums are for discussion, but like everyone has said, discussion and spoonfeeding are not the same thing. Besides, helpful information was posted with the suggestion that you search because there are many past discussions on this already out there. It would be counterproductive for someone else to repost everything just for you. If you have specific questions pertaining to findings from your own research because there are things you are still not sure about, feel free to post up, but we can't have new threads everyday essentially asking someone else to do your homework.
