Umm... I wouldn't put that into my car. Hondas don't benefit much from untuned, random aftermarket chips... and if anything, would be detrimental.

The "Two Stage VTEC" claim is the giveaway part that this person has no idea what they're talking about, and the 9,600 RPM redline is very VERY dangerous on stock internals. Hell, I wouldn't let this thing be installed on my car even if they paid me

Why would you want one?

What exactly are you trying to do?

A plug and play ECU isn't going to make your car faster. If you want to do anything I suggest you get a set of cams and a VAFC at the least.

header and high flow cat. Those will give you reasonable gains, and allow for future mods like cams and tuning to work a LOT better
