Default jdm p30 ecu question for usdm b16a3

the motor is in the delsol in stock form, but i was wondering if a p30 jdm ecu would run the car? it already have the usdm ecu in it. will it be any different if i plug up the obd1 p30 jdm ecu on the usdm b16a3 motor. feels any different, vtec crossover? fuel/map magement?

just bascially want to know if it worth the time to plug in the jdm p30 ecu in a delsol equip with usdm b16a3 motor.

thanks, Ron

It will run the car. The B16A (SiR) has a slightly higher compression than the B16A3. The VTEC crossover is the same, the fuel map will be slightly different. Feeling a noticeable difference is minimal. The limiter will be higher, so watch out.

The redline is 8200 for the B16A and 8000 for the B16A3. Isn't limiter slightly higher than redline?

the redline in my '94 del Sol VTEC is 8200, and I believe that its a B16A3. B16A2 is 96-97 del Sol VTEC & 99-00 SI motor, with 8000 redline.

They all redline at 8200 stock and the jdm ecu wont make a noticible difference if any at all and why would you swap out the usdm ecu if theres nothing wrong with it.
