Default Which ECU for tuning?

I have a p28 ecu but i also have a p05. does it matter which ecu i use? because i rather use the p05 and dont touch the p28.

thanks

dude go with the p28. by far the best ecu to tune for dohc honda motors. i have one running my ls turbo w/o vtec and it runs great. if you have a dohc vtec motor it will work great. as far as chipping. dont mess with that you need chrome pro. the chips you buy off of ebay are not specifically designed for your setup or mods and can really mess up your engine by being programmed either too rich or too lean. if your looking into engine management for your honda then look into chrome or uberdata. cant go wrong

dont matter which one you use...both the same...you can chip the p28 or p05 for vtec or non-vtec.

p28 is the most commonly used for dual cams because they have the best air fuel mixture

if your going to install honda or something like that its easier to use the p28 but you can also turn the p05 into p28 specs and it will be the same stuff

its a d16z6 with a y8 head. i want to boost like 8 pounds. i want to tune with neptune. the reason why i dont want to use the p28 is because if one day i take of the turbo i dont want to have to look for another p28.

p06/p05 with vtec added, p28, p72, they all have the same common concept.

if your going to boost you have to get tuned no matter wat. so just choose a system that fits your budget and look for the tuner. get your p05 converted to p28 specs that way you can leave your p28 a virgin for later use or emergency use, ect.

That doesn't make any sense.
If you want to run the stock program again, just cut J1. Voila! Back to stock!

BTW, neptune is a pretty kick-*** system, you'll love it.
