Swapping ECU's?

[RacerFreakXXX]

Well it seems to me people wont put out big money for a car that's worth about 10-15k. Also manufacturers don't have much to work with, the engine can't handle much w/o being rebuilt unlike most tuner cars. RSX, SI, S200, 350z, 240sx, 200sx, ect are still good for over double whp, while our car can barely handle anything over 150whp (going based on garms turbo yaris, but there aren't really any others) and double is 180whp. Also out ECU seems to just be this gigantic wall unless you bring something in, like EMS. Either way I have no problem dishing out 1-1.5k for a good EMS and tune.

Really? Wont spend money on a 10-15k car? How much were 92-95 Civics when the came out? Our ECU is not a problem. The AEM FIC works, the Emanage works. The problem is that there are VERY few people here that actually try new things out, few people here are willing to step out of the box. BTW 1-1.5k is an unrealistic number for a AEM EMS, unless you buy it used & can install it & tune it yourself
