I have a gsr swapped hatch back and i cant decide on what ecu to use give me some advice on which one is better? THanks for your time.

 

they are both vtec ecu's just one is already prechipped to control the IAB's in the stock gsr intake manifold. If you dont have the stock gsr IM then get which ever is cheaper

 

was boutta say somethin bout the knock sensor buh i guess if hes running a full GSR it shouldnt be a problem

 

since you are running a gsr motor, i suggest you run the p72 ecu. trust me, a p30 ecu wont run better than a p72. p30 is design for b16, not gsr.

 

if you need help pm me. im from fresno too.

?? there is absolutely no difference in running a chipped p72 over a chipped p30 if youre using a single staged manifold. Designed for a gsr?? If you mean the stock maps, then obviously yes, but I believe his question isnt concerning the stock fuel values. (Whole reason going to obd1 is to tune)

 

well he never stated chipped ecu. if it was chipped it would be a different story

 

If we're talking stock ECU's, it definitely depends on which manifold you have on your engine. If you still have the stock GSR manifold, then of course, the P72. But if you have a single stage manifold then the P30. While you can still use the P72 on a single stage manifold, the VTEC engagement is too early to maximize the non VTEC power band.

 

well im runing a skunk2 intake manifold, and the motor is fully built. but im undecided on which ecu to use beacause every body its telling me different, saying ill get more with the p30 and other saying ill get more with the p72. but thanks alot for your guy's help.

 

As a stock ecu, you should run the p30 over the p72 since you are running the skunk2 IM. BUT, you also mentioned that your motor is fully built. If so, you need to get a chipped ecu (chipped/converted p06, chipped p28/p30/p72/etc) and have it tuned for your set up to optimize the most power out of your motor. I wouldn't run a stock ecu on a fully built motor since there's a huge chance of either running lean or detination.

 

oh ok thanks alot for the advice. Ill look around for a shop to tune my ecu but if anyone has other advice please post them up for me thanks

see, you should of stated all of these on your first post. You should run the p30 instead now but you really need a chipped ecu and get it tune since you have a built motor. but let me know which shop you gonna get it tune by. just to let you know, dont go to JDM2. i heard lots of bad story about him.

 

really that is where i was planning to go to. I called them and they were gonna give me a deal. But now that u said that i really dont wanna go there no more. Do you know of a place where i can go get it chip and tune?

 

you could go to method motorworks. I heard lots of people got ripped off by JDM2. he is quite good at lying. really, i wouldnt go to that shop at all.

 

alright ill go check it out at method motor. But i heard alot of things about them to. but its a long time ago so thanks man we shoyl race one day hahahaha jk well thanks alot if you know of a different place let me know thanks.

 

been to both jdm 2 and method, both tried to rape me! If you got the cash, Vern at Raver motorsports in Visalia is probably the best tuner in centra cali. He's a hondata dealer and pro at tuning, but he does charge a bit more then both shops in fresno, but then again, your paying for his knowlegde also, not just his time. They're not open to the public anymore since he only deals with serious builders, but to get your car tuned by him would be worth the money. Had me lv/vtech build by him few years back, and he tuned with S200, best investment ever!!!

 

really so how do i get him to tune my ecu or get him to tune my car. I really dont care about how much the cost is as long as it will last then thats all that counts.

 

I have a '00 GSR and am running a P30 with S100. Switching to crome in a few weeks for tuning reasons.

P30 =

 

thanks alot guys i think i am gonna go with the p30 but keep up with the post and advice alright thanks alot once again.

 

send them an email at ravermotorsports@earthlink.net

 

I bought a clutch from Raver. Small shop, but they look pretty legit. Price was decent and the part showed up when they said it would.

How built is your engine?

 

well i got low compression piston, skunk2 stage 2 camshaft, AEM adjustable cams, RC intjectors,skunk2 ITM, Stage 4 clutchmaters clutch kit with flywheel and pressure plate, HKS t2 turbo with the whole hks pipings,intercooler and DC turbo manifold but still not installed yet still dabating if i should or not, ctr values and value stems AEM box, with MSD ingnition box but the ecu is stock still working on it, integra type r tranny with lsd port and polish head and ITM, still debating if i should do piston enlargement walbro fuel pump, weapon r fuel regulator and VTECH controller,DC headers, AEM V2 intake, upgrade ground wires, I wouldnt say its really built but i think i practilly got everything there for all motors.

 

are those turbo cams you got?

 

nah they are just Skunk 2 cams, I want to get turbo ones but i dont know if im gonna put in the turbo yet. What do u got in yours

 

I got blox type B tuner series, but i haven't installed them yet, waiting to hear from a buddy of mine who used to work with Vernon at Raver Motorsports to see if he can squeeze me in for a tune session. I don't want to install them if I can't get it tuned by him anytime soon. Hopefully by next month.
