2.5 would be fine

jbpnoman

A 2.5 BAR sensor will be more than enough for you.

Bix VT

2.5 bar will read up to ~22psi. 3 bar will read up to ~28psi. I haven't run the numbers, but I'm pretty sure you can make 300-350 on that turbo before you'll need the 3 bar.

HPfreak

Ok and for the ecu should i go with a p06 or p28 ecu
Im NO v tec ? Help

Thanks

Bix VT

P28 will work fine. In fact, I have one pre-chipped for sale in the FI marketplace

DELshaneSOL

P06 is a non vtec p28

jbpnoman

Assuming you're chipping it to tune, it doesn't matter what ECU you use.

If you aren't chipping it to tune, I'll start taking bets now on how long until your motor grenades.

DELshaneSOL

Go p06 I believe it's cheaper

Bix VT

True, but running a P28 won't hurt anything. Just ignore the VTEC settings and set the crossover to an RPM the motor will never see.

HPfreak

Well thanks for the offer but my buddy that has the motorola 2.5 bar he has a p06 ecu chip for sale to thats why i was asking ? I need one anyways so wich ones the best for my motor and its going to be tuned on a dyno if that can help

DELshaneSOL

There pretty much the same dosnt matter
What kind of chip are you talking on the p06

Bix VT

If the P06 is cheaper, then that's probably your best choice. What do you plan to tune it with? Crome, Neptune?

HPfreak

Chip on the dyno, like theres nothing on the chip ontill dyno time

HPfreak

Dont no yet but a lot of the tuner shop out ere tune on crome But i herd neptune is better

Bix VT

It mostly matters what you and your tuner prefer. If the person tuning it is more experienced with one, go with that one. You'll get a higher quality tune since they will know the ins and outs of the software better.

HPfreak

A tuner should be good with any ECU it his job lol

Bix VT

He should be proficient with most, but some tuners do more work with one specific program, so they will know all the "quirks" and that sort of thing just due to being more experienced with it. And that translates into a smoother tune.

HPfreak

Ya true


My buddy is saling obd2 to obd 1 harness with p06 chip ecu and motorola 2.5 bar sencor for 175$ is that a good deal

Bix VT

I'd take him up on it...those items new cost a bit over $300 from phearable.

HPfreak

What do you mean thake him up on it?

BobbyRodriguez

3 bar

Bix VT

It means to accept his offer. That's a pretty good deal for those parts.

HPfreak

Ya its cheap only the ecu is going for 180$ over where i live
