I'm running a gsr ecu in my d16z6. is it true that when the check engine light comes on my vtec isnt kicking in?

I would swap that out for the correct ecu. Probably has something to do with the iab.

Not to mention how rich you are running.

Hmmm, you must be throwing all sorts of codes...IAB, knock, you name it. Get a p28 quickly, or get a b18c quickly.

i have both the gsr ecu and my d16 ecu, it wastes a ton of gas, which is why i only drive it when i run. is it true that my vtec aint kickin in though?

SkoundrelUSA

check what codes its throwing. theres probably for the butterflies, knock sensor, and possibly some other crap

It depends on what is tripping the CEL. Some CEL codes can send the engine into limp mode, and VTEC will not engage. You don't even have the correct ECU for your engine, so trying to determine how to make it run properly will be a crapshoot.

you dont get a code for iab

and your gonna be running to rich like someone mentioned before

EGwhat!!!

why would you run a 1.8 dohc ecu on a 1.6 sohc? are you an idiot do you not see the problems you could encounter?

luis31

No i am not an idiot, before you go callin me an idiot i run a gsr ecu for the extra boost it gives my car. I raced a hatch like mine wit my stock ecu and it beat me i changed it to the gsr and i beat it, so it does gimme a significant amount of hp, not much but some. I just wanted to know if vtec would engage or not, not a smartass response from an idiot like you. I know the diff between gsr and d16

man, if just you knew what you where doing, your replies would be worth something

EGwhat!!!

if you knew what you were doing you wouldnt be on HT asking questions.
now GTFO and DIAF
