you have it partly right. It is used to remap the comp but the adjustability lies in the hands of a tech who burns new chips as you tune on a dyno . once it is tuned you leave it there is no onthe fly tuning. it requires a chip swap I have recently installed a s100 on my civic the base map should get me driving to the dyno for a day of tuning then as they say "set it and forget it"
Instead of tricking the honda comp with a Vtec controller and a check valve so that the ecu doesnt really know what is going on IMO it is a better idea to use the factory sensors and teach the comp a new fuel map that uses all avail info not just a filtered set of variables
or get a stand alone
and any way with headers and other mods a hondata tuning will add some ponys I'll bet. And it will idle like factory
reguardless do your own research and check out the hondata site it is informative and the testamonials are good lots of people running all kinds of NA and every kind of FI setup
