I'm having a problem going through the CA Smog Ref. Strangely he doesn't have any information on the p28 ecu my swap uses. (This is a d16z6 in a CRX, converted to obd1)

The serial on my ecu is 37820-P28-A02
Ref only has information about the 37820-P28-A01

Honda dealership sucks and is asking for $65 to verify my ecu. I'd rather not pay that money only to find out that it's a JDM ecu

Can anyone tell me if this is a CA smog ecu and help me get this information from Honda? Has anyone had the P28-A02 verified by Honda before that would be willing to share the love?

help!

you could try to make up some b.s. about how your ecu is a new one that supersedes the old number.

 

I did a search over at http://www.slhondaparts.com (since they show the actual Honda part numbers) and from what I could see, the part number:

37820-P28-A02

shows up for the 94-95 EX and Si models, while the

37820-P28-A01

shows up for 92-93.


Maybe it changed to the A02 in 1994?


Just go to the dealer and tell them you need to find out how much a new ECU is for a 95 EX, then ask them if they cant print out the "invoice" with that part number and price on there. I can't believe they want to charge you $65 for that!

WHY would u want to reff a sohc??

i passed smog with a y8 and a z6 at TEST ONLY smog centers, they dont care, neither do cops if u have the valve cover that doesnt say vtec , but even when it says vtec they mostly dont say anything...

 

Mine SOHC doesn't say VTEC anywhere on it and every smog station I went to noticed the VTEC solenoid and wouldn't smog my car with out a ref placard. There are too many modded vehicles in the bay area I guess.

 

nero you're from vista, of course they dont care

us people from the bay area gotta pay like 300 bucks to get our cars smogged cuz it's so hot over here

for a useful response. Definitely have them print up the 94-95 "invoice" and the 92-93 one. The dealership does it free of charge.

What does an automatic P28 read?

 

Automatics:
92-93 end with -A51

94-95 end with -A52

He's just got a 94-95 EX/Si 5spd ECU.

hth

 

SWEET! that's exactly what I needed to know... Thank you so much Mr CRX!!! I'm going to check out slhondaparts and hopefully I can convince the ref! Thanks again saved me $65!!
