Spoon V2 chipped ECU installed..

..and I'm very happy. Thanks @ziyaan! It definitely feels more lively and it also bangs and pops more than it did before (he he)

Two questions though, to whoever may have the answers..

1, I am still without VTEC in 1st, do I need to locate and remove my speedo converter to fix this?

and 2, where is the red line on the rev counter? It went way past 8k and showed no signs of stopping - bit scared.

Cheers y'all

There is a post somewhere IIRC about the location of the converter either giving you 1st gear VTEC + 112mph limit or no 1st gear VTEC + no limit... depends which you'd prefer I guess, that might be incorrect though.

I think I read somewhere the limit being set at 8500? Again might be wrong.

Ah nice one thanks mate, I have no 112mph limit, but also no 1st gear VTEC so mine must be by the VSS. I hoped that installing the ECU would've given me VTEC in 1st as I thought that was one of its benefits... Now I think that the converter chip is holding me back.

Move the converter to the speedo only and you will get vtec in 1st, and due to your new chip you have no speed limiter any more, so you'l be +112 whenever you want.

Great, thanks mate. I will go converter hunting tomorrow then

..as an afterthought, these chips are fine to run with stock fuel systems, right? I don't need to do anything with my injectors or fuel pump, etc??

Yes, you'll be fine, I assume the LPG is on a separate system?

It is, it has its own ECU, I haven't tried it on gas yet though as I haven't filled up since the meet. 45 litres did 255 miles.
