You need a p28 ecu which is the vtec one to work perfectly.

However you can use a p06 one if you chip and tune it. Anything else will NOT work

1992 and 1993 D series VTEC engines don't read VTEC on the valve cover.

If it is a true D15B JDM Vtec engine, then the ideal ECU would be a P08 or a chipped P28 with the correct basemap for the D15B.

The P07 is the original ECU for the VX engine.

D15Z1 is not V-tec as we know it. It only changes from a 12 Valve mode to a 16 Valve mode. NO V-tec ecu(P28/P08/p2p) will run it, ONLY the P07 can run the D15Z1......BUT one guy on here posted a thread on how to change the D15Z1,P07 head into a D16Z6/P08 head.

Yes if you swap to a P08 ECU, which is the JDM ECU for the JDM D15B then it should work fine. Or like others stated, you can use the P28 ECU. I think you would have better luck finding a P28 ECU. I have a D15B and I'm running it on a P28.

wont run the engine or the lean-burn the z1 is famous for? Cuz im running a d15z1 with a p28 as we speak runs hella good to! just had to wire in the 4 wire o2 sensor cuz that wide band o2 is to expensive.
