Im leaning towards no just because it says for non vtec engines. But idk Id like to find out more just because that would be cool if we had another computer option that was worth buying!

-Plus its only for 00-01 models of Tibs. So if it was serious they would know that 97-01 are the same. So Im thinking that it wont work!

They work but they are not user programable, you can change a few settings but it won't give you enough to tune around a turbo like an smt6 would, the safc only alters fuel settings but the venom automatically alters fuel and ignition and it could be a pretty good power boost for an NA application, if I was NA I would buy one just to see how it works.

top speed i believe the ecu is different in 97-99 on the 1.8 so that might be why they dont list them.

If I were you, I won't buy it for $300 plus shipping.

I will think about getting one if it's $100 shipped. cool.gif

it feeds more fuel during wot. my buddy had it in his civic and it helped him cut his time off by .2 of a second. i was going to install one a while back but everybody gave me bad feed back so i didn't. i wish i did though.
