you are aware that a p28 is for a sohc 1.6l civic right? It should still work, but probobly not the best thing if your gsr is running off of its fuel maps...

do you have a friends ecu you can put in to test?

you have a vtec engine right? what do you mean ls/rs section?

check oil level....make sure you achieve all the parameters for vtec engagement and check your vtec solenoid screen

yeah.. this post is very confusing... because from what I get out of it, he drives a 91 integra and they didnt make a gs-r then, did they? so he wouldnt have vtec unless he has an engine swap...
saying he was looking for the rs/ls section doesnt make sense either, cause if he had an ls or rs, again, he wouldnt have vtec unless he had a swap..
We need more info homie.. help us out so we can help you out

what i meant about rs/ls section is because ive been trying to get answers from here for a long time about vtec. it seems nobody knew anything. so i figured maybe if i found some non-vtec people they could help me. all these people say thay have vtec engines but cant give no answers..
the car is a 91 ls with b20 vtec. no gsr.
