so i finally got rid of my jetta vr6 and traded it for an ls vtec. i love the car and plan on keeping it until it gets stolen. hopefully not. i have a b18b1 block and a gsr head not sure the year or mileage on them. the only thing that im wondering about is he used a b16a ecu..i dont think its even chipped. is that a problem that i might have? the idol sometime goes so low it sounds like it might shut off. im not sure if thats the reason. any info on this would help a lot thanks.

Adjust the idle at the throttle body, it dosent need to be chipped but it would help you ALOT.

 

ok but whats the best ecu for my setup?

 

Well you can run a P72 (GSR) ecu which will work great.
Or for optimum performance get the car tuned.... Options are endless: Crome, Hondata, NepTune etc.....

 

this is the ecu i have rite now.. if i buy a jdm p72 ecu can i just plug it in with these existing wires?

 

yes get a jdm obd1 gsr ecu and it will plug in directly.. if your idle is low though it sounds like you have something else going on. check idle screw as stated above and swap the ecu and go from there

 

ok thanks

 

you should have good luck with it, that penny next to your ecu is on heads

a custom motor needs a custom ecu

 

as long as the ecu is obd1 its plug and play. as of the ecu ive heard of people using p28 for that set up and you gotta get it chipped and tuned. either way getting the p72 ecu you should chip and tune it so you have the maximum power achieved from your set up

 

yea i just need to find that ecu now. im going to check out clm motorsports in newark, i heard they where the best for hondas. anyone else been there?

 

go to swapshopracing . com they do a good job making sure they help you out with the right part and advice... they even have good prices on parts to be honest

 

yea i went to wired in linden and they have a p28 chipped and they let me test it. my car ran better and the vtec kicked in alot earlier.
