what are you tuning with?

you cant expect a stock ecu to make an engine work with it unless they match eachother.

If your using a GSR maifold then use the P72.... if your using the B16 manifold then use the proper ecu for that application. You could always tune with Crome or Hondata on a P28 (i think that is the one)

guys I appreciate the replies but I have to run it OBD2. a p28 and crome or hondata is a no go. I have a S2 manifold on my GSR head so the p72 is lagging in the mid range.

why do you have to stay obd2? going obd1 and tuning is your best option overall.

if you must stay obd2, an itr ecu with some sort of piggy back can work.

yes a vafc or neo is a piggy back. those are your only tuning options while remaining obd2. obd2 ecu's cannot be socketed and chipped like obd1 ecu's.

I knew that, I 'm not a NOOB

Will the car run correctly without a vafc? I really just need a daily driver not a racecar

it'll run correctly when tuned. it's just not as efficient as a tuned ecu.
