well thats my problem. no one around here tunes and whats a chipped and basemap ecu mean exactly. i live in willmar Minnesota and would be bringing the car to the cities. 2hours away so i would tow it. would a hondata s200 be a better solution
chipped ecu is just a ecu tuned on chrome or something of that style of program. A Socket is soldered into your ecu, and does basically what a piggy-back system does, except it's all internal to the ecu, so there's no extra wires, and you should be able to just use your stock ecu for it. (as long as you are obd1)
I just looked up your city on Google Maps... is st cloud any closer? You might be able to find someone there that could help you out.
Otherwise you could also check out
phearable.net/. A friend of mine has gotten a couple ecu's chipped and shipped from there, and there basemaps are pretty close to what you need. just tell them what you're running for psi, injectors, and they can burn you a chip that'll get you where you need to go, but I still highly recommend NOT driving for weeks, or beating on your car on that basemap... basemaps are made to get the car running and safely to a tuner when towing is not an option
I wouldn't reccomend a s200, because the s300 has already come out, and there are many shops around here that wont even tune a s200 cause they just simply don't know how to. If you're die-hard to want something like the hondata, get a s300, but in all seriousness, chrome will work just as well and be half the cost.. Plus any legit tuner should have plenty of experience with chrome, because of how cheap it really is to run
I'm sure there are a lot of very good shops around the cities... when you have a bit metropolitan area like that, there's HUGE competition to be the best, so you probably have a good chance to find what you need... It's just getting there that's going to be your problem.
