hi guys, i bought a RHD automtic 94 sir accord which has "Honda Of America" stamped on it in a couple of places. This car has the H22a motor so i'm currently in the process of swaping out to manual and i plan to use my auto ecu which is obviously obd1 but idk whether mine can be chipped as i also had planned to buy the chip kit off ebay and chip it myself. I am currently far from the car so idk which "P" ecu my car use's. Can ya'll tell me if i'll be able to chip it?

You should be able to find a definate answer by following the two links above.

I'm not sure if that would work or not with what you have. but, I would bet that because you'll be chipping it (not running the factory ROM) it may be easier to just get a manual ECU with a good basemap.

 

you need to look at your ecu. if it is a p13 then yes it can be chipped. if its a p0f then not a clue.

 

Accord ecu's aren't the best to tune. I'm doing a h22a swap in my 95 sedan and I went to phearable.net and got a p28 tuned to run a h22a base map.

 

Ya tuned p28 + h22a = the best. Runs really smoooooth

 

did you go and get it tuned or are you just running a base map?

 

got to my ecu and it turn's out the it is th P0F. so i guess i can't chip it but will a stand alone work well with it or shud i still get a p28?

 

I think you can use a xcal for obd2

 

IIRC SCT doesn't make a product for Honda's. So the Dodge/Chtysler Xcalibrator is more than likely not going to be a tuning solution for the OP.

A stand alone engine management system does not require any OEM Honda ECU to be present. Hence the term "Stand Alone". It completely replaces the OEM computer and has full tuning capabilities. These will not pass an computer diagnostic emissions scan test.

If you do not have to worry about a computer scan emissions test then the stand alone would work. However a chipped OBD1 P06/P28/P72/P30/P75 etc..etc.. would be the most reliable and cost effective way to go for tuning.

If you have to go through emissions testing there really aren't many options available other than some sort of ECU hack. Or running a chipped OBD1 then swapping in your stock P0F for a week prior to testing.

We don't have any sort of emissions scan or test here where I live so someone from Cali would probably be better suited to answer the emissions questions.

 

naa i live in jamaica so i wouldn't need to worry about that. they say for the h22, p28 is the best ecu to go. i'm trying to get 1 so i can chip it myself and have a tuner tune it. but they are so expensive where i live.

 

If you are going to solder the components yourself. You might as well go with a USDM P06 as your base ECU and add the VTEC components to it at the same time.

Once you purchase the USDM P06 there is a number on the main board, circled below in red.



This number will tell you what VTEC chip kit to install on that particular version of the P06 board. There is the 11F0 or the 1720 version.
