What are you running? And the P28 is a vtec ecu. A P75 is a non-vtec ecu. So if you are running a vtec engine, then the P75 ecu will not run the motor properly. And I'm thinking you are referring to a P2T ecu. That one is vtec, but is an OBD2 ecu. The P28 is obd1. Again, it depends on what you are running motor wise and Obd wise.

fix your busted car and then it will run better. get the right ecu it will run great. Check your VSS (speed sensor) if you have a cel and chipped ecu with launch control you wont be able to rev past that point

Ive seen a couple virgin p28 ecu in the marketplace the past few days try look there... also I would try to narrow down your problem first, maybe find a friend who has a SOHC vtec motor, and put your ecu in their car to see if that is actually the problem

Check to see if the ECU is chipped. If it is, then have it tuned or get a basemap programmed chip that is set up for your engine...

umm.. I don't know what the fully adjustable coil-overs or the black front and rear gsr seats have to do with why the car isn't revving past 3500rpm??
