What is the best ECU for a B16a...yes i know the obvious answer would be a B16a ECU, but i heard an ITR Ecu would Rip on it, so what would you guys say? (keep in mind it needs to be obd2, cause i had it converted)

Right now im running an OBD2 GSR and the whole vtec at 4,400 then full at 6,000 is buggin me, so yea.

 

Hondata. Screw OBD2

Or Just the get B16A2 ECU. ITR won't do you good on stock cams.

 

depends on what year car... if i were you id get the conversion harness and run an obd1 p30 or a chipped obd1 p28

 

can i use a USDM 99si ECU or would it be better to run a JDM one?

 

We put my P73 (ITR ECU) in my friends 96 GSR and it totally made the car more aggressive so he ended up buying the ECU off me... if you can find a P73, it really did help for my friends gizzer.

Also I have my stock B16A2 ECU still if you're interested in it...email me at erics99si@SirromMotorsports.com

 

Can i use a USDM OBD2 ECU on a JDM Motor?

 

chipped p28

92-95 SOHC VTEC ECU.

Here read up: http://www.jdmhondaparts.com/ecu.htm

 

it's a 92-95 sohc vtec ecu (chipped), reason for using the sohc ecu is cause there's no knock sensor

 

So whats the advantage of not having a knock sensor?

And also i have 97 SOHC VTEC ECU, would that be good?

I can get a 99-2000Si USDM for a good Deal u think that will work out fine 2?

 

p28 chipped/ mugen prgrm

 

Will a USDM OBD2 99-2000 Si work fine on a jdm b16 obd2 motor?

 

will it?

 

yes / no ecu work look up? bump

 

Will a USDM OBD2 99-2000 Si work fine on a jdm b16 obd2 motor?

NO, the USDM ecu will be looking for these things non-existant on a JDM motor: EGR, VTEC oil press. sensor.

They only ecu that will make you more power is an OBD1 chipped ecu.

You need a conversion harness, and a chipped OBD1 ecu, the P28 is fine.

im not that worried about power, i just want the car to run smoother. Because with my GSR ECU v-tec opens at 4400 and then fully at 6000 cause of the butterfly in the GSR intake mani, but i dont have that on my b16, so i just want another ecu that will perform more normal.

So i think im going to try and get my hands on a JDM B16a2 ecu or a JDM ITR Ecu

 

They sell much higher octane gas in japan, it's not going to fix your smoothness problem, you'll actually probably experience sputtering.

-PHiZ

 

yea i understand the smoothness, but i just want a new ecu thats better for the motor i have, cause the GSR vtec is 2 early.

why dont you get a vtec contoller?

 

cuase thats like $200+ i have to spend when i could just sell my ECU and buy a new one thats for my car and call it even?

 

well if you ever plan on putting mods on your car then your gonna have to spend money on some sort of afc controller
