Just curious. I'm doing it and it runs fine.. but I'm not 100% sure it's as efficient as an ITR ecu... so I might switch to the ITR in the future. (I'm using it because I have a 99-00 Si harness)

 

I would think that te fuel and timing maps would be off....I'd be careful not to push it too much

 

 

****. I've been running it pretty hard.. i dunno

anyone else?

 

Interesting

 

Is there something you know that you aren't telling me? You winked...

 

Oh not really. This is just the first instance I have heard of this scenario.

 

well.. type r ecu doesn't push most of type r engine for full throttle... but it does pretty good for regular driving/partial throttle... don't see how a 1.6L ecu would do a better job.. maybe its possible to adjust some stuff with vafc..

(some people run sohc ecu's and do somewhat alright..)

 

I heard I'm probably running a little bit lean.. which might give me a slight increase in HP. I don't really care about that.. I just don't want to **** over my engine.

I pulled my plugs to check em out, they look fine. My exhaust smoke is normal as well..

hmmm

 

maybe do a baserun on a dyno with wideband O2.. see how the a/f look.. its usually .5 leaner on the street..

 

for realz dude....I wouldn't run it too hard...the B16b and b18c have a lot of similarities, but they do run on different fuel and timing maps. at low RPMs, you might be ok, but anything past VTEC, you might be choking your engine. Instead of doing a VAFC...just get yourself a proper ECU (it's prabably about the same price)...

 

Thanks for the replys.
