Yup another Spoon Sports ECU thread.. I just bought one a few days ago and fitted it to the EK9 yesterday morning. It's safe to say that I've emptied half my fuel tank already lol. I did a bit of searching and it appears to be a Marmite thing. It is in a sense a poor man's remap (kinda why I bought it lol). But it really does give a different feel to the car.
Compared to my OEM ECU it idles so much more better. It used to rev and drop between 1-2ks on idle (I've had the IVAC cleaned). but now it just idles at 1.5 and slowly drops down to a steady 1k idle.
VTEC is another story of course, the OEM engagement at 6200 is like a nice pregnancy kick. The Spoon's 5500 vtec is just noise, and then gradually at 6100, around the OEM VTEC point, you can start feeling a wee "push", maybe this is when you give birth.
But enough shite analogies, I quite like it. It is mental how it goes up to 9100, but I don't think I'll be taking it up there that very often in case I blow the engine lol. I won't be remapping until I have more mods done to the engine so the Spoon one will keep me happy for now, as I've just got an AEM v2 and an Apexi GT 4-2-1 as my breathing mods. Just thought I'd share my experience
