This is my <U>first ever post </U>and would appreciate it if anyone could please tell me whether a p28 ecu or a p30 ecu would work best on a b16A2 motor, I just found via a code check that the ecu I have on my 94 dx hatchback is for an automatic which recently blew something as when I opened it I saw a burned (something) for lack of better ecu terminology. I would like to retain as close to stock performance for this engine so as to have optimal fuel economy. Thanks in advance.

the p30 ecu is the specif ecu for a b16a. the b16a2 should be a usdm obd2 99-00 civic si engine.

pr3 (obd1) or p30 (obd1) should work fine. if ur cars an obd2, use a 99-00 civic si ecu

 

Thanks, the car is in fact OB1 so I guess I should be fine with a p30 obd1 ecu then. Can you recommend any reputable and cost efficient vendors where I can purchase this ecu from? I have looked on ebay for weeks but somehow I either get out bid by some rediculous amount or the seller sounds untrustworhty in his discription of the item and therefore I back off and continue searching to no avail. Thanks.

 

go for a p28 and an obd1 conversion, you'll save yourself a bunch of headaches when you want to make it fast.

 

Cool, thanks, I never thought about it that way, I was just looking to save some gas right now being that prices are the way they are and I have an 80 mile round trip daily commute

Thanks for the info.

 

you dont need conversion harness since the motor is in the obd1 chassis already. you can get a chipped p28 or a stock p30

 

quick question - can the same ecu be used for a b16a1 and for a b16a2?
