well this is my first official post on honda tech, been over at honda-acura.net for a while (bout 1200 posts). ill get to the point. i decided to check with you because i havnt been recieving any useful information on the turbo build i am parting together currently. this is my first turbo build and i am to the stage of fuel manament. i have decided to go with a chiped ecu that is set for 7psi of boost and capable of running 440cc injectors. i have a 98 ex d16y8 and from my understanding i have a obd2a ecu. what i need to know is if i purchase an ecu that is an obd1 and a harness will i be able to retain vtec? i am looking at a used chipped ecu that was set for 7 psi and with an obd2a harness. also the seller states that it is set up for 440cc injectors. i guess what i need to know is would this be what im looking for? i did try to search but i didn't get any hits back that would specificly help. thanks alot. peace.

All you would need would be a OBD2A-OBD1 conversion harness and a P28 spec ecu. That will allow you to retain vtec.

So as long as the ecu you would be getting it vtec compatible, you won't have any problems.

 

awesome, thats all i needed to know. you wouldnt believe how hard that was to get answered over at HAN. everyone blabs away on the basement so much that no questions i had were answered. thanks alot man.
