i have a d16a block with a d16y8 head and a p06 ecu, before the engine reaches operating temp vtec kicks but after it reaches op temp it doesnt has anyone had this problem if so how did you fix it?

 

How does a P06 make VTEC activate at all?

 

x2, unless you have a chipped P06

 

ok correction it is a p2n ecu sorry

 

you need a P2P, /thread

 

Also vtec shouldnt even be working until your motor has reached operating temp.

 

well it works cold but not hot i have asked many tuners and even a dealership and it should work with that ecu right i was told it should

 

could somthing be wired backward

 

Obviously it does not. P2P is the correct ECU. I quote this from another forum
"You can run the y5 ecu, but you wont have vtec. and the p2n ecu is an HX ecu so that has vtec-e, I'm pretty sure, which you dont want. Just try and find a P2P ecu."

 

ok well i have a chipped p28 with a base turbo map but it wont start my car hot and when i do get it to start it boggs out real bad

 

That's because it has a baseline map for a boosted setup on it.

 

well im running a boosted d16y8 and it runs better on the stock ecu

 

Aaaand? What does that have to do with the problem at hand? Find a stock P2P ECU.

 

well ill try to find a p2p but what about when it come to tuning for boost

 

why are you trying to get into vtec on an untuned ECU?

Get a chipped p28 and get it tuned.

 

suck to have 'many tuners' in your area not be able to help you out. Whats many...1...?

 

actually three in here in washington and two back in ohio, and im using an untuned ecu because i dont have the money right now to have it dynotuned and i deploy soon and would like to get it running good before i leave so my wife can drive it

 

 

well when i get back im getting a del sol for my next project so im gonna be giving her the coupe

 

and in my wifes defense she is a hell of a driver and she trys to learn about cars

 

You didn't say anything about boost in this post. Are we talking about two cars or one? If it's the one car how come your 3 tuners can't seem to hook you up with a decent basemap? My advice is to find another tuner to talk to.

 

Yea its one car and the tuners around me r all about making money they want 400 buck to even put my car on the dyno. I have one more place to call but im sure they want an arm and a leg to tune it. I know its not cheap but my bank account is kinda dry right now.

 

So you have an D16A block with a Y8 head boosted running a P06. Is the P06 converted and chipped? Running a stock ECU on a boosted car is engine Russian Roulette. Get a converted P06 if this one isn't or a P28 and a good solid basemap then get it tuned. I would get a chip from Phearable.

As for your bank account-Boost aint cheap so I cannot sympathize. $300-$500 is typical for a dyno tune.

 

I have a chipped p28 or at least i was told it is ( there isnt a label) but it only starts my car when the engine is icecold im thinking it is the base mase that is on it but they say its a good basemap and it has to be a problem with my car

 

it couldve been a good basemap for what they were running, but not for you setup....
