Will the P30 work good on my SOHC Vtec? Or will it screw something up? I was thinkin about gettin one from a friend of mine.

 

I think to get the p30 to work you have to run obd-1 I dont know how ever if the p30 will run a SOHC car. I think it will but I am not sure.

 

if you are still running obd0 wiring and ecu, then get a pr3.
ive got one
mugen proggy
225 shipped

 

I am currently obd1. Will the P30 work on my sohc vtec?

 

It will work but obviously the fuel and timing maps will be optimized to run a dohc vtec engine. The vtec engagement point will be not optimal either but this can be taken care of with a vtec controller and some dyno time. I think the P30 and a vafc will be your best bet.

 

get it chipped then run a sohc vtec program

 

There are going to be a few problems with running a P30 with an SOHC VTEC engine. Assuming your car is wired for a P28, one problem is the knock sensor. The P30 will be looking for one. And when it does not find one, it will flash the check engine light. Then there are the fuel maps. Simply put, they are wrong. Finally, you can do some real damage if you run the motor to the B16A rev limit on stock internals.

As for the PR3, these same problems apply. But you can add to the list a check engine light due to the lack of a second oxygen sensor.

 

both of the codes are fixable, ground the knock sensor from the ECU and the 2nd o2 sensor wire just add to you existing o2 sensor. But like you said DONT DO THIS!!!!! 8200 on a SOHC will lead to kaboom very quickly. Stick with you P28.
