what management for B20VTEC build?

[Billy.]

sup all. currently ive got a b20vtec with an afc piggyback on an em1 ecu. im building another b20vtec. its going to be completely built, NA not boost, its already been sleeved to 85mm and ill be using all forged internals. im looking for upwards of 220whp with a moderately built head. the shop thats helping me with the build recommends using PowerFC management, i believe this is an apexi device. the powerfc and the commander will run me around $600-700, but i hear alot of people have success with chipped ecu's like p28, p06, etc. im not very experienced with ecu's at all and need some advice on what to tune my new project motor with

You should really go with what your shop is capable of tuning. If PowerFC is what they use, then you can do that. But I would go with Neptune RTP or hondata S300.

HONDATA.

i have a b20bvtec. love the b***h. i also have an S300. love that even more. if you ever boost or swap to a single cam. what ever, it all can be tuned with hondat. even better it is all in the same box no piggy back or pulling the chip. you can even street tune (not suggested) via laptop. if your tuner cannot do hondata then find someone who can. it will be worth it. a vafc can do so much. and other programs are exelent but all the options that are already built in like datalogging and launch. i say spend the extra 150-200 to get hondata and install. another option is the aem. this to is an exelent program with the same options. I understand that the aem has less bugs but also requires more wiring than the others.
chrome is another good option im told but have no experiance/knoldge of this program
I personally say hondata but that is just me and my two pennies.
