Ok here's the updates. I had DaKilla4ever (the walking prelude encyclopedia) come by and install it in his car and it pretty much ran fine while the car was warm, just like mine. So I had him take it home and install it in his car to see if it will do the same thing. It didn't so I guess that puts the theory out as far as having a bad ECU. But why would it only run bad with that particular ECU installed while cold? And since the car pretty much felt like Dakilla's car, why are they that slow before VTEC? I would assume that if you ran the H23 maps with an enhanced H22 top end it would pull ferociously. Anyone cares to dwell on that?
