          You should probably talk with the people that do custum chips like Mark D. and see if they have anything for you, otherwise go megasquirt if you want to be able to tune it yourself.

              All that does is log inputs, You need either a piggyback computer or a full standalone like megasquirt etc..
              Check out the For sale section for more info about my plug and play megasquirt setups.

                This is all you need.

                Chips and Sockets RMA: Repairs & Returns Software List All Products (150+) Cables USB/Emulation/PC Shop by Vehicle WideBand Products Ford 1986-2004 GM 1985-1995 Nissan 1986-1995 Honda/Acura 1988-1995 Driver Download Browse Products Datalog and Reflash Realtime Emulation Chip Programming


                Learning how to use it or paying a shop for a custom tune (in which case you don't need to buy the burner) will add up pretty quick though.

                        waste of money - first off, you can buy a full wideband sensor and controller for $200. second, you can't really tune very much with an FPR. the only way to do this properly is with a tuneable ECU.

                            Find a shop that can burn chips for honda civics, they will be able to do one for you.
