Ok, so I'm doing a head swap from h23 to h22. Aside from all the arguements I know I'm going to hear as far as this being good, bad, or otherwise - Do you people think it would be easier to wire in a "generic" controller to the existing ECU or would picking up a VTEC controller and an ECU be the way to go? I helped my buddy put in his Frankenstein H23VTEC, but he put it into a car that was already VTEC and mine is not ('92 Prelude Si). Any HELPFUL opinions?


and yes I searched......if this question is already out there, then I guess I'm just an idiot

 

I would get a p13 and wire it for vtec.

 

do you have emissions,if not i would do a p28 ecu,with a program....then wire your oil press. and vtec solinoid...straight to the computer...it's as simple as that.


you will not have to worry about egr.butter fly's...most people take them out.but if you do not want to do that...then use the p13.

All the egr stuff is already wire stock it's just a manner of running the vtec stuff and knock sensor its about the same amount of work with the p13 and its done right.

maybe you need to read what i wrote.if he is looking for performance...use the p28 chipped....if not use the p13...and wire in the oil pressure and vtec solinoid...and your done.


p28 does not reconize,knock sensor,egr,or butter fly's...althought the wiring is there...but if he wants to stay stock....use the p13 "as i stated in my last post" and just wire in the vtec and oil pressure.

 

Yeah, unfortunetly I have to keep all the emissions stuff in place....as far as wanting performance or stock......yes? lol, I just want the stupid car to run and have the vtec working. I'll be using it as a daily driver at least until next winter so I'm not going all-out performance, just a little extra to play with.

 

Ok, on this same topic - I assume there is a way to wire this up with what is already on my car? I am leaning toward picking up a p13 but am getting tired of dumping money into this car (head cracked is why I'm going through this in the first place). Is it just as simple to wire this up as reading the engine speed from a generic controller to send a signal to the vtec solenoid at a specific rpm? Also, anybody know if this would be digital or analog?

**Thanks for the info so far!**
