convert to obd1, bring it to us and we can tune it for you.

[1NonlyAccord]

thats pretty much all iv done for now is buy the OBD2 to OBD1 wireharness. was that a mistake or a step in the right direction?

[EmminoDaGreat]

now you need an ecu (which we can get you) chipped, and tuned and you will be safe. If you dont tune it there is a definate chance you wont have time to enjoy it.

ok sounds good. luckly the cars just sitting right now getting ready for paint.

get a p28, take it mainstream and have scotty chip it with crome and tune it. the ecu will run about $100 and i think they charge $80 for the chip and to put in the ecu. not sure what tuning is per hour.

[EmminoDaGreat]

180 for chipped p28, 140/hr for tuning.

[Da_unknown]

then u will be set...

[K24cb7coupe]

there ya go, here save one for me i will need it in the next month or so!!!

[1NonlyAccord]

how long does it take to tune? 140hr..better take an hr..haha:goodjob:

[scttydb411]

or if you already have a p28 i'll socket/chip that one for $80.

non-vtec turbo appx 2hr
vtec turbo apprx 3hr

it could take less depending on setup, issues, etc.

[1NonlyAccord]

the stock 99 accord 5spd ecu is..i thought it was a p28
and yea SOHC Vtec F23A

[scttydb411]

nope. i've got socketed/chipped p28 for you. you need to use a civic/integra obd1 ecu to socket/chip. once that's done any map/parameters can be loaded then.

[1NonlyAccord]

oh i thought i read sumwhere the accord has a p28 o well.
but ill prolly be up there mid year. saving 3k+ for my paintjob right now.

[JKOBD]

Don't push your luck on an un-tuned setup or you will be pushing that 3k+ painted tin can.

For 3k+ I would expect the car to tune itself and drive itself, and mac females, and....

[1NonlyAccord]

The car is sitting for now.
but yea i kno.they estimated it 3k for 4year warrenty.there going from silver to midnight blue and a few body fixes from my bodywork done from my carport

[SPOOLIN]

3k is to god damn much for any paint job, especially a midnight blue paint job, you need to go get more estimates.

It's not too much when they have to fix what he already tried to fix. It's like doing double work. It could also be a multi-stage paint and he could have asked for multiple layers of clear coat.
