I have a b16a gen II with skunk IM, intake, header, and exhaust. Is there any benefit to going with a ITR Ecu? I believe it's a p73. Thanks!

You have a pretty good ECU, if you're gonna get something chipped just get a P28

Yes, but I found one for $100. Not too bad, so I wanted to know it's benefits.

You can rev past 8.5k. I'd imagine there are different fuel maps or something of that nature, but I don't know much about it and don't have specifications handy. If you don't have an ECU for your B16A or just have a normal p28 from your old motor, definitely get the chipped p28 over the p30.

W/ my P30, you have to worry about knock sensor, and I hit fuel cutoff at 120 and thats just no fun


EDIT: Doh, forgot we were talking about the ITR ECU. Disregard this post, I knock jack **** about the ITR ECU.

If you're getting it for 100 bucks get it and sell it for what it's worth.

So this ecu does nothing for the b16a's? Anyone else???

no it will help you out... with fuel. i dont think the Vtec engagement is different though.

If you don't have an upgraded valvetrain (I.e. stiffer valvesprings and Ti retainers) you won't be able to use the higher rev limit anyway. I wouldn't rev a stock B16A to 8400rpm without an upgraded valvetrain.

Chipped p28 and a V-AFC are sooooo much more versatile

I take mine to 8500 at least once every few days. I know I'm asking for it, but an upgraded valvetrain is on my "things to do" list for the summer.

if it is an obd1 car he will need a jumper harness also?

So other than the higher redline, no other benefits...
Thanks!
