for a better problem? what does that mean?
if you chip and ecu it'd have to be retuned and it would be useless unless you have some pretty good internal mods.

What about remmaping a ek3 factory ecu ? It is possible ? And its alviable any software for it?

Civics in stock form are pretty much maxed out proformance wise when it comes to tuning. By the time you get the ECM chipped and have a real tune done, the total will be around $600-1000 for maybe 5whp. You will never feel that little of a Whp gain.

So its no way to get more 15hp with this stock P2Y ECU ? I mean changing some settings icreasing fuel and air intake. For example(just i wanna ensure myself you understand what i want) my brother got a Fiat Stilo 1.9jdt 2002 he went to one of he`s friends and in 5 minutes he got 15hp more with a simple software modificasion... I want to know if its possible this with my EK3 also...

What did your buddy pay for a measly 15 HP?
