From what owner try to tell its was going to STD mode example:extractor,intake manifold,CAI, or high cam
VAFC+chip,emanage + chip this will good for you cause both can control your AF and your Vtec point this will common can tune most of tuner around whole malysia
Crome Tune will good for you also cause its feature close to Hondata and its cost effective
Hondata price will still keep increase due on currency and its still not the BEST Choice ECU compare with Haltech,Microtech,Power FC since u have budget 4k for your ECU, Hondata Its have an friendly user software
Power FC was good and have an hand set datalog display/setting controller (rev cut,ignition,AF,Fan controller,bla bla) but u have limited tuner available at m'sia who has the cable and the software
Haltech/microtech its a bit complicated with wiring and software if you have some good skill wiring,tuning(installer,yourself) its not a problem if you can handle all of this
Dastek Unichip u just like limited your self on tuner and place you have to go tune a
all feature just similar like emanage ultimate and also its was piggy back ECU and have to top up hardware for others feature
all above just my 2 cnts to share with your guys so no heart feeling
