You mean D15B? You can use the JDM P08, or use a P28 (chipped for the D15B to get the right maps).

p28 is stock for d16z6, p08 is stock for d15b vtec. Some sensor stuff is different, most notable being the 1 wire that p08 has and the 4 wire the p28 has.

With chipping and 4 wire a p08 can become most anything, the same can be said for a p28.

Run the P28, this way you dont have to run Knock Sensor either. Well I guess both of them you dont know that I think about that. Still P28 is more tunable than any other ECU.

p28 is just as tunable as a p08, there's almost no difference at all once chipped.
