i got a P2P ecu on my y8 civic, and some friend want trade my for his P73 ecu, he got it on a civic like mine same, both ecu are obd2, i will try it first but i want to know with you guys what is you opinion about this and what is good and bad on this trade please thanks a lot

 

i would instantly trade this guy. Type-R P73 ECU's are worth a good amount of money lol.

 

you have a Y8, not a ITR.
P2P = ECU designed for your engine.
P73 = ECU WAY WAY off of what your engine needs. too much fuel all over the place, and ignition maps that will likely cause more problems than anything else. I'm not even going to mention the rev limiter and how badly your valves will float and likely bend due to it...

unless you don't have any plans to use it, only trade and sell it. Than go for it.

 

As mentioned, a P73 ecu is for a Type R engine...do you have a B18C5? If not, why the hell would you do it??

Also, there are 2 versions of the P73

- OBDIIA

- OBDIIB

Both have different plugs on them

 

^This^

A P73 with an ITR map on it (which it'll have if it's OBD2) is going to make a d16y8 run like crap.

 

well it fit good on my engine, and the guy who will trade it for mine he have it on his car with a d16y8 too, he is going to sell it and he told me if i want trade it, lol, i just want to know, he say that car run good and more than it should be runing, only that vtec pump 6rmp and rev goes 9rpm, but do i should trade it and runing it on my car till i get a p2p again back?

 

^^that's what i would do. i could sell the Type-R computer for like $100+ real quick. and buy another P2P for like $10 lol. You can run your engine on the P73. just don't rev ur motor up to 8000RPM+ lol.

 

oh yea, this cant be good.

 

it's up to you "titi vtec"

 

thanks a lot guys i will trade it is likee easy money lol jajajajaja
