i'm currently running my d16z6 motor on a p30 short case ecu temporary.
just wanna know if it'll make much more difference than a p28 and will there be any problems later on?

Tong.Y

i think the car might be running a little bit rich in a way.

That is the key word sir. Drive it like grandma and you'll be fine. But remember your key word. -Later, BR

I ran a Z6 off a OBD1 PR3 from a 92-93 XSi, which is also a B16 ECU.

VTEC will cross over much later, and because of that it will kick harder like a CTR, but that's not a good thing, since its just staying on the non-VTEC lobes longer, and basically gasping for breath. You can also rev it out, if you dare:

If you rev it out, stay on the oil level. LOL.

yea. driving it around normally there's not check engine light.. but once it hit's vtec.. the check engine light appears..

Tong.Y

what do you mean "stay on the oil level"?

keep checking it, b-series run richer than d-series and so if you get on it and rev to 8k+ you will start burning oil, BADLY.

off topic, but is that p30 virgin, if so lmk when youre tryna get rid of it

Tong.Y

ahahah... yea i kinda knew it.. and i'm not gonna rev it any where past 8k rpm.. maybe 7200 rpm is the limit but will do 7800 for top end..
