Well, after purchasing an S100 w/ boost option & a socketed p72 ECU, a fellow HT member informed me that there are weird/mysterious problems that occur when P72s are used w/ B16s for some odd reason. I was not aware of this till after i purchased the P72...

Can anyone verify this? I performed a search in google, but came to no such conclusion.. and the HT search feature is down at this time.

Heres my setup:
'99 B16A2 EM1 - Stock Block
Boomslang OBD2B-OBD1 Conversion Harness
Socketed OBD1 P72 GSR ECU
Hondata S100 w/ Boost Option
Walbro 255lph Fuel Pump
RC 550cc Injectors Saturated
OEM MAP Sensor

And yes, i searched the Hondata board w/ no answers. Even though the Hondata site states that the P72 ECU is an acceptable ECU for my application. And also, i thought the hondata will read off the ROM chip program anyways... so, i was suprised to hear this at the least. I thought the only difference between the P72 and P28 was the IAB, and the knock sensor.

If anyone can please enlighten me on this situation? Anyone w/ experience please?

TIA!!!

 

P72 should work just fine.

 

You will be fine.

 

Phew!!! THANKS! i was kinda worried there after I heard, especially after just purchasing it.. thanks for the reassurance guys

 

btw, has anyone even heard of rumours like this? It was out of the blue for me.

 

Anyone have any information?

 

I've heard of p72's weird problems on the b16 /w out Hondata. I don't know if it was chipped or what not but P72s don't work well with the B16 in cases I've seen.
Hondata, should be fine; I donno, never had hands on expierence.
