If no one has one then id look at HTune - they do have a budget option if you can tune using chrome

Still a bit more than i want to pay. I can fit the chips resistors ect myself and yes i can use crome to tune. Ive tuned a lot of honda's in my time. Mostly on OBD0 on BRE but have had quite a lot of experience with OBD1 crome and hondata also. I used to sell the ECUs chipped for £100 back in the day. Seems to be a bit of a rip off now. It used to be an upside to honda's having cheap easy tuning. Trouble is even breakers are charging stupid money for a ECU in unknown condition with unknown mileage. Sometimes they look like they have been left outside for years and they still want crazy money. Sorry went on a bit of a rant then

n worries about the rant - i was going to say grab a p28 civic ecu (D series) and youd be sorted but from what you say breakers are asking top dollar for them
The HTune chrome P28's were a lot cheaper a year or two ago. sure one of my pals picked one up from them at £130

Thanks Scott but yes it is OBD2 and i want a OBD1 so i can tune it. I have been known to change my engine mods very often lol. Looks like i will have to carry on keeping an eye out on ebay for a cheap ECU.
