Default ECU questions

I dont really know much about ECU besides they regulate the flow of fuel. Are aftermarket ECUs worth the money? What are some good brands to look for? Is the brand Darkside any good when it comes to ECUs?

i was just curious as to if they really worked or made much difference. i talked to a company that back their ecus 100% so i got one from there and i was gonna test it out and right a review on it as to how it performed or even made a difference.

your better off adding performance parts and getting a chipped honda ECU with a new tune. I’m still unsure why you want a diff. ecu? What are your looking to get out of it? More power somehow?? That’s what the performance parts and the tune is gonna do for you.

You find someone who knows how to chip your ecu so you can run crome or a tuning program to retune for the parts you add.
