im getting ready to swap a b16 into my 92 hatch my question is what ecu is best to use

 

order a p28 from phearable.net and tell john the specs on your engine its only about 200 bucks shipped. or you could buy my jdm p30 i have laying around.

the swap your buying doesnt come with an ecu????

Do you know of anyone else having problems with p30 ecu with their b16 swaps?

 

Rechipped P28 &gt; stock P30

The stock mapping from Honda is a touch conservative, JDM ECUs have a speed limiter, and some JDM P30 ECUs have extra features such as TCS that cause problems. Also with a P30 you might also get an automatic version, which again throws a CEL, has a lower rev limit, and generally runs like ****.

lol nope. had 0 problems with mine. weird, I didn't think people had problems with P30s. I'm surprised mine didn't since I bought my swap from some shady *** place.

 

Does anyone know if P30-930 would be auto or manual? I searched buy I only found 92-5 ECUs (P28, P30, P61, P72, P91, P08)
5spd = 000, 001, 002, 003, A00, A01, A02, C00, C01, C02, J00, J01, J02, G00, G01
Auto = J50, J51, 901, 902, C50, C51, C52, A50, A51, A52, L50, L51, G51

I have a feeling its auto because 901 and 902 are auto so mine will be. It would suck if it is
