Excuse my lack of knowledge here, but what advantage is this vtec controller going to give you?

Is it worth

it'll look nice n shiny and flashy on the dashboard!

always heard these didn't do anything really for the S as opposed to other hondas where they be quite effective.

maybe i'm wrong though - not sure.

In the states they seem to gain about 10-14 bhp tops but it will vary along the rev range. I used one on my teg and it made a big difference annd even if not so effective on the S it will still provide, in my opinion, better gains than say a spoon ecu. Not many people here use them but it will not change the timing which is a negative but having it doneon a dyno will give the best gains possible and should help the gains of the exhaust, de cat and CAI. I just think it would provide better gains than an ecu mapped for a car across the world as it is mapped specifically for my mods and car. you only lower the vtec point to about 5800 as any lower looses power but you can gain in lower rev ranges where you need it.

will prob try and get price down but getting some base setting from the US and installation instructions, he has done a few before but having step by step instructions will surely help.
