Nick makes a point I should have probably mentioned. He's right, some cars have software built into the ECU that counts knock or something similar that will change the fuel and timing maps for the engines safety. I believe DSMs have this feature as well. Either way, it's really only a feature on a car that's usually boosted or has the ability to detonate rather easily.

When it comes to 90s/early 2000s Honda's, no. All the ECU knows how to do is read a bunch of different variables and output a timing value and an injector pulse width more or less.

Relax, bud. When the dude with a drag Honda and a boosted daily that has had fast Honda's for years AND fabs his own parts tells the new kids on the block that they're doing it wrong, it's time to step back and learn something.
