Re: 2step

I'm not sure I understand your question, could you be a bit more specific?

Re: 2step

I believe they are but the install will obviously have to be tailored towards the specific car. If you don't know anything about them then I would highly recommend getting somebody else who knows what they're doing to install it for you to prevent any possible damage to your car.

Re: 2step

it started as a question of rev limiter (2step?!?!?), then suddenly another guy steps in and talk about ignition box.
WTF?!?

Re: 2step

Yea seriously...
I was wondering the same thing @sdaidoji

2 step I believe is a mod only available on chipped ECU's
It tricks the engine by keeping the RPM low only on launch
Once you've taken off, it turns off

Not exactly sure how it works, but you would need an aftermarket ECU, or a flashed one

Re: 2step

I searched it for a bit, its this thing that hooks up to the ignition that acts as a temporary rev limiter (for launching basically). Sorta like anti-lag for turbo cars if I'm not mistaken. Kinda useless on an N/A civic if you ask me.

And again, not really something you should be messing around with if you don't know what you're doing.
