You can disable the VTEC function within the software. The P28 is more readily available and cheap. YOu can use it just fine.

Well im looking at in ontario canada 125 for an OBD 1 ls ecu, and 300 for a p28. I think i iwll go for the ls ecu. As for the disengaging of vtec , thats cool to know, didnt know about that.

300.00 seems a bit high for a p28....

the P74 and P75 ecus are for 94-95 LS/RS. I'm running a P75 ecu on my ls and works just fine.

Just a suggestion. You seemed concerned with the fact that you had to convert to obd1.

There are better choices that either of these if you would just do some research.

I'd liek to here the answer to this, too:

I know you can't use an ODB0 PR4, could a ODB0 PR3 or PW0 be used to control a ODB0 LS motor?

Would be cheaper/easier than converting to a ODB1 ECU, O2 sensor, and distributor.

By better do you mean more functionality, easier tuning ability, better customer service?

Or do you mean, the same as say Hondata, ZDYNE or AEM EMS but cheaper?

The only thing that I have found that can sometimes be cheaper if you find a deal is the EFI PMS system found used. But then again, the person needs to have the datalogging software too.

Perhaps I answered my own questions..according to hondata's BBS... s100 and s200 systems aren't compatible with ODB0 PR3/PW0...

Their official response is to convert to ODB1 and use P75...

Simple?

As far as I have seen, you need to upgrade:
Distributor to OBD1
Injectors to OBD1
Find a conversion harness
Find a compatible OBD1 ECU

Whats the cheapest anyone had done that for?

Cheap and buggy but improving daily, Ghettodyne for ODB0
Established and solid but lacking datalogging & pricey, theotherDYNE.

IMO if you have the time & money to convert, better to stay with ZDYNE and have it properly tuned
