my roommate threw in a 98 OB2 B18C1 motor. he had a type r ecu...the shop said he couldnt put it in...but...correct me if i am wrong...i can use any B series ecu? he is running his stock SOHC Vtec ecu. what ecu he should get to run the full potential?

 

i dont see why the type r ecu wont work has he even tried putting it in. but anyways the correct ecu for a gsr is a P72.

 

Unfortuantly with the GSR you must use its correct ECU, due to the fact that its manifold engages a set of butterflys that open up around 4400 ( i believe?) for increased airflow. Other B series ECU's arent made for this, therefore will not work correctly for the motor.

Its called the IAB i think, and its tuned toward making optimum HP #'s from low to high RPMs. Not using the correct ecu ( P72) will only hold the motor back from its stock specs.

DOH! haha i completely spaced the whole duel butterflies thing.

Haha at least you remembered. Most ppl just go "wtf? butterflies?" lol.

That is why the GSR's manifold is shaped a bit differently compard to most B series manifolds.

 

As you can see, the GSR manifold is shapped differently than other B series manifolds, in this gif, the type R's manifold.

 

cool gif

Word, best way of explaining it.

 

So the GSR's looks like most B series?Iono i see too many engines

 

okay i have a gsr in an EK with a p28 ecu. it is an OBD-1, should i change it to a p72 and have that chipped and re-tuned?

i would just chip the p28. but make sure you ask for a gsr map.

 

p28 is chipped with hondata s100, most likely a gsr map considering they know i have a gsr motor. just checkin to see if it was straight and im not runnin the wrong ecu. thanks!!!

 

he has a upgraded intake manifold. the jelbrochs. now his car is over heating when he drives in city mode. when he cruise around town...the car over heats. on high way though..it stay frim....what can be done to fix this?

is his fan working?

 

checked the thermastat?

What is the diff. between the two?? like hp wise or like flow wise cause i thought i had a OBX intake but seeing this and looking a mine i see its and actual type r intake manifold, i notice in the pic u can see a blurry blue vin does this indicate its a type r or am i wrong cause mine had the same blue vin # its in between the two vacume lines on top of the intake

Doesn't matter because they aren't compatible.

Different head bolt pattern for the intake manifold.

 

correct me if i'm wrong, but isn't vtec for more torque? hp doesn't sound right...maybe a lil, but vtec was made to give more torque out....

 

tell ur friend to get a skunk 2 manifold and he can chip a p28 or he can use the itr ecu... if the motors 0bd2b and the ecu is obd2a he needs a jumper harness !! there u go buddy after u do what I said ur friends hatch is gonna b VERY NICE ! I LIKE ! HOW MUCH?

 

TYPE R MANIFOLD IS GOD ! GSR IS TRASH SPIDERMAN MANIFOLD THROW IT AWAY AND GET SKUNK 2
