alright....just got back from the track and had some problems. i just got a jdm h22 to put into my car on easter and i also got a REAL spoon ecu to go with it. since the h22 isnt in my car yet, a friend that has a 93 prelude vtec decided to test out the p13 in his prelude and compare to his past runs. we installed it at his house and he drove with it all the way to the track, no problems. after he did the first run of 14.8@93.5mph i went back to the staging lanes to ask him some questions and he had the ecu in his hand and gave it back to me because he put his stock one back in. he said that he couldnt keep the car running when he got to the line. and when he was doing his burnout (yes, he was on slicks), it would just die. and then he had to crank it over 4 times to get it started so he could make his run. he already had his timing advanced from the distributor, and i know the ecu has some pretty wild settings im sure which include fuel maps, vtec crossover, and timing settings. im thinking that the fact that he already had his timing advanced, and then the ecu having some wild timing settings just wasnt working too well together. after he switched to just a jdm p13 it was fine. the spoon ecu is version 4, anyone know anything about that? i would like to know what is causing the car to die before i install it in my car when i do my swap. any ideas? sorry for the long post!

 

nobody have any idea? someone on another board mentioned something about the external coil on his usdm h22 as opposed to the internal coil jdm h22 which it was designed for.

 

What Spoon ECU is it? Is it a Prelude P13, a P72 from a GS-R, a B16ECU...?

Also, what year is the H22a, and what injectors are you using in it?

it is a genuine spoon sports p13 ecu, version 4.

the h22 is was in was a 93 with stock injectors. thanks for any help!
