this is a p28 if you can c it but it all so says p08 i know it works on my d15 to good but since its chip would it pass smog... an if i get a stock p28 would that pass smog on a d15

know what would be easier?
buying a d15 computer for like 20 bucks....

skunk2 ecu's were tuned for skunk2 parts installed on the car unless you have a d16z6 with their cams and manifold setup. or a b16 with their setup. it will do absolutly nothing to help your poor d15 to run quicker. i've already ran into a couple of dumb people that put this ecu in their car with nothing on it. thought because the ecu let's you go to 9k they can. ten minutes later their engine is a big paperweight.

naw... they used this ecu... 4 ab16 and did not have anything skunk2 and it ran ko.. and i put it in mine and it runs ko.. like new but i dont take it all the way were the red line is at... would it [freak] up the motor if i keep on useing it...and would i pass smog with a p28 ecu...

These ECUs will dump more fuel into a stock engine, change timings, etc. Many people chip their ECUs with what they think is a real "OMfGz MuGennnnn ChiiIP!!!!" but it really says Mugen-style. Even if it was real, there's NO point on putting in those modified chips/ECUs on a stock or close to stock engine. I saw a few chips on ebay that said rev limit raised to 10.2k ON A [freak]ING P06 D15B7 engine.. They even encourage that this is a MUST for your "slow stock engine."

That SKUNK2 ECU isn't bad, but it's useless on a stock or close to stock engine. I'm not trying to be an *** but I've seen 6 friggin people at my job chip their ECUs. 4 lost their engine. They weren't too mad since 3 ended up dropping in LS swaps.

When people first install the chip or modified ECU, what's the FIRST and MAIN thing they're going to be doing? They'll be flooring/******* that poor engine constantly.

If you're getting the ECU to pass smog, that's a good enough reason, but I'm not sure if it would pass since you'll have extra fuel being dumped into your engine and incorrect tables of every sort on an engine that doesn't need it. I doubt the fuel would combust properly. I know you said you're going to be gentle on the engine, and that's awesome, but make sure not to get carried away like most people do.

I'm not gonna lie. I have in fact chipped my ECU years ago for about 2 weeks, then realizing "why did I do this? I'm going to end up messing up my stock engine," then I was lazy to desolder everything so I just bought another virgin ECU for 30 bucks.

This ecu will be great if you plan on upgrading in the future, but the fuel maps and settings are tuned to performance engines. Stock engines and upgraded engines have different needs. Just be careful and good luck

Bottom line is... [insert Name-brand here]-Style ECUs or ECU ROMs are 95% garbage. Get a real tune and get it done right.

It just makes me LOL that this is for a D15 too...

ZOMBIEKILLER

lol... i know but if i came up with the part an i said [freak] f@ck it ...b/c i just want to run it good but not pay a lot for a ecu i got other things to pay 4 .. plus i saw it said p08 and i thght it would wrk...

send your ECU to Phearable and let him do it. That is your best bet.

If you want cheap, then dont expect it to last long.
