After posting a some what non-related reply in another thread about Phearabe ecu's it received enough attention that it was suggested by other members to open a thread on this so here it is
I recieved my Phearable ecu last week and upon fitting the results were not good. The car did not idle correct it was very unstable even when it warmed up it still wouldn't really settle. On the road when driving I found the car felt like it had less torque, then when I brought it upto vtec which by Phearable's recommendation was set at 5800rpm I felt a dip in power till 6000rpm and again even when at high rpm it felt like I had lost torque also the ecu was to incorporate a two step rev limiter for launching this did not work at all and when I contacted them about this and the idle problem they tried to say I didnt ask for this feature but I had a copy of the email sent which clearly stated I did want this feature, eventually they said they would send me another chip which I will have to install myself (not that I will be using this ecu again) Very bad after service from these guys.
Another thing to note I ended up paying â¬60 to customs as the package had the price of the item shown on the outside of the box which was â¬300 this could have been avoided if used or no price was displayed on the box cause essentially the ecu you receive is a used ecu with a chip put inside it. e.g the ecu I recieved came from a EG3 civic.
My advice to anyone considering using Phearable for a chipped ecu is stay well clear I wasted â¬360 on a ecu which made my car slower. Stick with your standard ecu or go with a reputable manufacture of aftermarket ecu's that is known to work good with your application.
