EK3 Mini-E Automatic
Hey people,
Im new to this forum and have some questions regarding a mini-e on my ek3.
As you might have read in my introduction thread i drive a automatic because of medical reasons. I am wanting to mini-e my 1.5 vtec-e simply because i want to
I have all the parts is need except for the ECU and conversion harness because this is seeming to be quite the problem. I have used the search to read up on some things but because my english isnt that great i dont fully understand some of the things that has been said.
The problem: When swapping the ECU from obd2 to obd1(the p28) i lose some functionality in controlling the automatic tranny(so ive read).
I thought i read that the obd1 automatic is controlled by 2 sensors and some cables and the obd2 is controlled by sensors only. So an obd1 swap would become useless and therefor the entire mini-e swap(because i cant get it mapped on obd2)
Is this correct or is there a way to mini-e and tune a 1.5 vtec-e automatic?
If its possible? Howwwwww??
Sorry for the long post and thanks for reading

Re: EK3 Mini-E Automatic
All right guys, i understand!
If i need to swap my obd2 auto tranny to an obd1 auto tranny to make a mini-e happen i'm defeating the purpose of a mini-e(easy hp for for relatively low costs), right?
I think i'am going to hold on to the parts for when i am able to drive a manual again.
Thanks for clearing this up for me guys, i appreciate it!

Re: EK3 Mini-E Automatic
you might be able to go automatic obd1 form a B series with a separate TCU. like from a integra. this what i plan to do to my 95 hatch keeping it auto. i don't know how/if the TCU will control a OBD2 tranny but theoretically i'd bet you could make it work.
