so i swapped a b16 in to my car. went to the local shop to get my p28 tuned and he put a b18 base map on it. car didnt go on the dyno or anything just put a chip with the base map of a 2000 si.. now my car hits vtec at 5g and red lines at 7500.. this sound normal.

 

HELLL NO. take that **** back and get the GSR or B16 basemap. they jipped you and gave you the b18b basemap. b16 should redline at 8200 stock and vtec should kick at 5800 from the factory. you getting robbed of your performance.

 

Hold on a sec, you said he put a b18 base map on it, then said just put a chip with the base of a 2000si (b16a2)? Which one? I think the redline sounds a bit low (shouldn't it be like 8200?), probably a problem in the chip program.

 

where did you get ypur ECU chipped at.... im in WA and i know of a place to get it done for real.

 

neither of you make sense.

first the OP says he put a B18 basemap onto the chip, and then says its a 2000 si basemap which has a B16a, not a b18.

then 93egsleeper says he got a b18b basemap which is NON VTEC, but the OP clearly states he has vtec engaging.

OP what did you ask for??? if you are running a p28 you are obviously obd1, and the best basemap for an obd1 b16a would be the stock 94-95 del sol vtec since thats what it runs (obd1 b16a).

by the way, a basemap is meant to get you to a tuner, nothing more.

 

I had internet delay on my reply, but anyways. I chipped mine myself, and will be tuning it. *edit* theres your answer perfectly^^^^

if he had a b18c basemap the redline would be right... so i figured it has to be a b18b basemap... but vtec is engaging. i just dunno how you can have vtec and redline at 7500 with a b18 basemap. makes zero sense.

your post still makes zero sense. GSR redline isnt 7500rpm. and an LS redline isnt 7500rpm. the automatic b16a redline is 7500ish if i recall correctly.

theres really no telling what he has, theres alot of differant rom dumps out there, and half of them are incorrectly filed and or get posted as stock and they arent, etc.

point is, he needs the 94-95 del sol vtec basemap to get CLOSE to stock performance.

i see what your saying... were both confused as to what he could have and took different paths of thought. id just take it back and tell them to put the right **** in it for free.

 

woah my bad. its b16 base map. on it on a p28 vtec kicks in at 5g .. sry bout that. the guy si a friend of mine and said the shift lite maybe be off but the base was correct.. i have another p28 from a delsol but i still need to find a b16a ecu but htey are pretty hard to find.. its a b16 a2 with every thing rewired from obd2 to obd1 could the dizzy be sending a low signal casuein the tach to read wrong..

 

doubt the tach is off that much. tell your friend he is WRONG.

yeah it kinda hard tho he is a damn good tuner .. trained with all major companys and **** so im jsut going ot c if nay one wants to trade a virgin p28 for a p30.. any takers...

 

i doubt anyone will make that trade, lol. but i would honestly just ask him if he can do it again. it takes less than 5 minutes to burn a basemap, and another 5 mins max to install the chip in the car. thats if he isnt doing it inside the car with a laptop.

 

where did you get the ECU and chip??

 

i got the ecu with the swap but it had a some stuff that i took off so it wasnt running smooth so i calle dhim up and he siad he charge liek 10 bucks to re flash the chip in the p28 for a stock b16 base map. the car runs great except for the vtec hitting at 5g and red line at 7500 .

 

what part of WA u in? if your near tacoma hit up speedfactory for a chip... they will hook you up.

i live on da east coast i just put that up bc car theft is out of control here.. but im a search for a p30 whats going rate on one these days..
