re-setting an ECU?

My friend said that unplugging your battery for an hour will reset the ECU to know it can suck in more air from my intake and make it work better for my mods. He did this to my friend's Integra and i don't think it did anything. Is this a bunch of bull?

BULL is correct, to get rid of codes do the disconnect battery step on brake for 15 seconds thing. to reprogram for mods takes a piggy back or after market programable ecu. To reset for stock sensers some cars need to be driven for a period of time. example a grand am with new sensors is to be driven above 45 mph for 45 seconds to set the brain to the out put of the new sensor.

maybe it is the "hour" you need to get those extra ponies...
so it worked on an integra? hmmm...i wonder if alteza lights will make it stop faster also. or maybe its having 2 people do it and connecting them at the SAME time and while having the battery disconected for one hour.
