Hey guyz i have a Civic 99 with D16b sohc donnow its VTEC or not and automatic transmission recently swapped ! My question is Wht ecu should be the best for A JDM D16a engine of civic 99 ! Recently swapped from D15b BT wheter my stock d15b ecu should work ?
P.S it has P2C ecu stock ? And manual in d15b swapped to automatic D16a !

And is my engine VTEC ? Coz I searched and found tht its VTEC with single solenoid ?
plz help !
I m replacing ecu that it might solve the problem of my car .
It shifts quickly from 1-3 gear and even if I hit gas at extreme the rev stays on 2500-3000 rpm and shifts normally ? Wht would be the possible issue an ecu ?

I'm not completely familiar with the P2C ECU but from what I remember it has an unusual 2 connector ECU which makes ECU swapping difficult. Maybe someone more familiar can chime in. I've read people in the past have swapped engine harnesses and possibly dash harnesses to make any other Ecus work.

Yes , my dash harness has 2 connectors for ecu ! Which ecu should I buy for auto transmission as the previous one is for manual ?
I wanna change it coz the auto gear shifts roughly from 1-3 gears ? Even if I hit the gas to extreme point it would shift normally and rev stuck at 2500-3000. ?
Is this an ecu problem or transmission solenoid problem?

Ecu issue

vickythew

So which ecu should be the best for Automatic transmission D16a Donnow its VTEC or not ? Civic 99

ek9_beast

First off are you saying that u left the manual ecu in with the automatic? Does the motor have a vtec solenoid on the back passenger side of the head cuz it should? Gota kno if it is vtec or not for ecu code?

vickythew

No solenoids at the back but Searching ova internet I saw at many places that its VTEC ? Don't know they said its a 1 solenoid VTEC and others are 2 ?
And it shifts but too fastly u may say coz even if I Hit the accelerator and take it to extreme it won't rev up above 2500-3000 rpm and the car slowly speed up ?
Above the 80 km/hr speed its normal ! Rev's up !

vickythew

And yup The I still run it with Manual Ecu !

ek9_beast

The jdm ecu for d16a automatic 96up is pbb-j61....

vickythew

Pbb strange haven't heard abt it ?

ek9_beast

Look it up.. Its a direct match for 96up d16a auto vtec. Guaranteed.

vickythew

I am confused, is D16a Engine Vtec or not?



Vtec or Not?

92ehatch

That looks likea d16y8 to me which is vtec..but i can't confirm that

vickythew

But my engine is non-vtec I think . if its non-vtec d16a then which ecu ?
Will the PBB work ?

vickythew

Nope its a D16a written on its block ? I need ecu for non-vtec D16a auto but confused its a VTEC or Not

ek9_beast

Damn bro u told me u had vtec. Make ur life easy and get the 99-00 factory dx automatic ecu. It'll go straight in. Its p2e-a92

Jeezus. Look for the VTEC solenoid.

Make your life even easier. Download a field/factory service manual.

vickythew

Thanks bro I'll check it its for non VTEC sure?
My engine haven't got VTEC solenoids and no VTEC on head means its a non VTEC .
Last question :- is it a 2 connector ecu ?
And any guide for setting all wires?
Coz first it was manual!
BTW thanks. A ton

vickythew

No VTEC solenoid

What the head code?

vickythew

P2A-11 is the head code

ek9_beast

That is a d16 non vtec head. Comparable to the d16y7 head. Like I said go get a 99-00 obd2b automatic dx ecu. P2e-a92

vickythew

ok bro i am not an expert, advice me what is OBD2 and OBD1?

ek9_beast

Obd1 is 92-95 obd2 is 96up but 96-98 is obd2a and 99-00 is obd2b.. Our hatches are obd2b
