VTEC Contoller + New ECU
When i get my apex vtec contoller do i have to get my ecu reprogrammed for 98 civic dx?? i have heard that you can use a non-VTEC SOHC ECU on a DOHC VTEC engine, if you just need to get around, it does NOT hurt the engine in any shape, form, or fashion. BUT, you will not have any working VTEC.<---so that basically means that my vtec contoller would be pointless w/o a vtec ECU?

Re: VTEC Contoller + New ECU (SjCiViCHB)
im asking if i get my b16a2 do i have to get a programmed ecu in order for the VTEC and Contoller to work? beacuse i read that with a standard SOHC ECU the VTEC wont work

oh, umm, i would guess so. why are you going to use your sohc non vtec ecu anywaise? your not getting an ecu with your engine? i think it would be better off if you just buy a chipped p28, theres alot of them for sale going for about 150 already chipped for Dohc Vtec motors. but i dont know about the vtec controller thingy.

don't use your sohc non vtec ecu, the only ecu people use w/ a dohc engine is the p28 which can be rechipped to dohc specs, that ecu is vtec already.
