hey guys i just finished my swap of a d15b into my cx. It runs decent but i can def tell its a little rich. What chip should i get and how do i go about making the p28 into a p08 or can i just chip it and have the same effects. Thanks for any help

if you have vtec wired and the o2 converted to 4 wire all done correctly it shouldnt be rich at all. well, no more than a stock EX.

you have a check engine light on???

A chip is a chip.

Get it chipped and get it tuned.

Or better yet, get the right ecu.

p28 is technically the correct ecu, unless you consider the P08, which is identical with the exception of the oxygen sensor heater circuit. a rom dump on both ecu's shows there is no differance in timing or fuel maps.

just go with a hondata chip.

how is it gonna have the same fuel maps if the p28 is for a 1.6 and the p08 is for a 1.5 and also im looking for a way to get a chip with a p08 bin file on it and also a performance increase

tune it. a generic chip is next to worthless.

I'm going to have to disagree. It is true that the P08 does not have the O2 heater control. But I've seen three P08 pulls and done two myself and none of them are identical to P28 maps.
Now technically they are different, but they are close enough to drive around on with little to no problems other than running a little rich at times. (foot position dependant)

OP - If you want more power and better mpg, pick up a P08 or...
