P30 = B16A3 ECU (del Sol VTEC)
P28 = D16Z6 ECU (del Sol Si, Civic Si, Civic EX)

Try googling it if you don't believe me. The P30 is somewhat rare (the only OBD1 B16 car we got was the del Sol from 94-95), but the P28 is very common and can be easily chipped so it's much more commonly used.

Also, if you need to know what ECU your car has, you can just look at your own

There was no Si Vtec, its one or the other. Del Sol trim designations are as follows:

S -> D15B7 (1993 - 1995) D16Y7 (1996 - 1997)
Si -> D16Z6 (1993 - 1995) D16Y8 (1996 - 1997)
Vtec -> B16A3 (1994 - 1995) B16A2 (1996 - 1997)

Why Honda used "Vtec" as a trim designation is beyond me, they could have just as easily called it the Del Sol SiR and made things a whole lot simpler.

will the P30 ECU (dohc, vtec, b16a3) run a b20vtec? or do I need to find a new ecu...

btw OP find a friend with a p30 and borrow it, this will tell you what the deal is without spending moneys.

and where on the ecu does it say what kind it is. i'm going to go check the one on my dohc vtec 94 del slo. It has a b16a3 stock, stamped on the block. time to settle this debate with facts.

soon to return and flame those who were wrong.
