Plan to get a chip kit and then a chip burner. I highly recommend a GQ-4x chip burner since it supports a wide variety of chips and chinese clone chips.
If I were you I practice soldering first......The technique is hard to grasp.
Here is what I bought first starting out not knowing wtf I was getting into:
-Moates OBD1 bench Tester
-GQ-4X Burner
-Crome Pro license
-OBD1 P06 ECU
-Ostrich 2.0
-10 chip kits off of Xenocron
-10 datalogging cables
-1 vtec conversion kit for the P06
I spent about $800 just for the stuff above alone, because I had a laptop, soldering station, and the crome license already. Over the year I outsourced and found alternatives to parts and kits so I can get them way less than what people sell online.
-what's a bench tester for?
-how much does a gq-4x burner run for? would a moate burner2 be ok too?
-I have a p28 ecu and a chipped/socketed p28 also
-I cant grasp the take on what the ostrich does. I do understand its important for realtime live tuning...am I correct? can you give me a link to what it does and how it works? I don't to seem like Im not looking at things. I think im just looking at all the wrong places.
-I was planning to get the moates burner2 with the chips...but your other statement on getting a gq-4x is making me a bit indecisive.
-why do I need 10 datalogging cables?
my whole plan for right now is just to adjust 2 steps...engage vtec at a certain time and give these guys that already have chipped ecus a basemap to run turbo...nos...e85...motor swaps etc. start up maps? I know its very little but this is my first goal so I can fund a bit of this tuning/chipping thing. What do you think I should get just to do this at the moment?
I wanted to just get a burner...crome pro license(will this last forever or do I have to buy it every year or so?) some chips.
