Alright this is kinda confusing but hear me out,
I have a Built b18a and it will soon be a Ls/vtec Turbo, for now it will remain non-vtec untill I have the head built.

What obd1 ecu would I be able to use inorder to minimize problems?
I want to get a vtec ecu so while non-vtec It runs but, it throws some codes, no biggie.
But when the head is bolted Up i wont need to get it tuned right away untill I bolt the turbo up to it.

so pretty much what ecu could I use to run non-vtec, and DOhc Vtec w/o getting a basemap prior to boosting?

 

get what you need when you need it

 

that doesnt answer my question, thanks
anyone else?

 

Get a p28 and when you are non vtec just set your vtec above your rev limit. Asuming that your ems will asllow you to do that.

 

you can disable vtec with just about every ems

 

Just get the P28 now, disable vtec solenoid and the VTP and you should be good to go.

 

soo I will require a form of engine managment no matter what?
It might just be easier to buy a Ls ecu and than wait.

Or you could just get a chipped ecu, have someone program it for the LS, and then when you upgrade to the vtec head, then get it programed for vtec. Instead of buying two different ecus.

It will still have to be chipped either way.

+1 again

 

well for now with the non-vtec/non turbo b18a/b it will run fine with Ls ecu.
But yea I thank you guys for your help, being the obd1 ls ecu;s are so much cheaper I think its the smarter route for now...
