i have a 94 accord wagon, its and lx and was non vtec .

now has a f22b1 and i wanted to know what the best ecu to get is?
i read some people say to get a P0A (OBD1) and some to get a chipped ecu...what would be the best for tuning and turboing?

i was thinkin about getttin the hondata ecu tuner depending on what ecu i get.

thanks

 

Good luck trying to tune a stock ECU for a turbo.....

If you are truly trying to go that route a chipped P28 is going to be the easiest route.

Also, the P0A is not compatible with Hondata.....so I'm not sure where you got your info.

gotcha, so chipped p28 would be the best one?

i just googled it and read a few other peoples threads adn wasnt sure so thats why i posted this thread.

I would suggest a chipped P28 and the Neptune Demon over the Hondata S300. You would need a chipped ECu that is different than the one in your link.


Neptune has great customer service and great tech support! Hondata is hit and miss!

 

sounds good, thanks

or does it need to be a chipped p28?

 

In today's Honda terms that is what people consider a chipped ECU.

What they have listed there is a P28 spec ECU. What that probably means is that they took a non VTEC ECU and converted it to VTEC. All it takes is soldering in a couple components and it's pretty much as good as a P28. That is what most Honda enthusiasts today refer to as a chipped ECU.

The term "chipped ECU" is basically any stock Honda ECU that has been modified to be tuned. Whether it be via external hardware connected directly the the ECU... ie Neptune & Hondata. Or an EEPROM chip that has been programmed externally and put into a chip socket.

In the early days of tuning the car was hooked up to the tuning hardware, then run, datalogged and tuned. Then the tuning hardware would be unplugged and the tune that was created would be burned to an EPROM chip. In turn that chip would then be put into the ECU in place of the tuning hardware connector.

The hardware was usually a stationary PC or laptop that most people didn't want to have tethered to their car with a cable. So they would burn a chip to replace all of the tuning hardware.

 

gotcha, thanks for clearing up my questions. greatly appreciated

feel like such a

 

You're welcome! Don't worry about it. Everyone has to start somewhere!

 

you seem to know a lot lol do I have to reflash
the ecu if it' set up for a civic? Because my p28 chipped won't start my car I have f22b1 as well

 

This generation requires a chip to be burned, there is no flash programming in Hondas until '06+

As for plug and play, you will need to ...

• Move the wire at ECU pin A6 to pin A11
• Move the wire at ECU pin A11 to pin A6

To make a P28(Civic/Integra) ECU work in the 94/95 Accord.

 

same for 97 accord?
