short and simple question...
i have 97 civic with a 01 gsr swap...will a p28 ecu work fine or do i have to get a p72 (gsr) ecu? the reason being is cause the p28 is already chipped so i would like to keep it but i heard only the p72 ecu will work with the secondary butterflies on the gsr manifold.

true p72 is the actual ecu on your gsr and the secondary will work provide that you hook up the iab wiring properly.

 

a chipped p28 will work. My friend is running one in her 98 GSR.

 

Well both will WORK.

If you want one that operates the GSR intake manifold crap though, then a p28 won't do it...

 

If i was in your situation id just keep the p28 and save up for an aftermarket intake manifold and do away with the secondaries.

 

i got my p28 chipped and they enabled the iab.

yea i was thinking about just getting a skunk2 intake manifold to get rid of the secondary butterflies...
any comments on those or any other intake manifolds?

 

did you ever hear of a JUN chipped obd-2 p72? some guy wants to trade it for my p28...

 

what chip are you using? may i ask and where do you get it cause i want one too!

 

actually i dont quite remember...just did the swap this weekend and its at my friends house...cuz he's tweakin some things up...ill find out some time this week...i know its a p28 chipped in NY to 5000 rpm to vtec and 9000 to rev limiter...or somewhere around those numbers...

 

i sent it out to locash racing and they changed the fuel maps, rev limt, enabled the iab's and switched the vtec crossover to the same specs as a p72. only thing it doesnt have is the knock sensor.

 

Keep the chipped p28 and wait for the aebs IM for the gsr

 

white ex? how do you know my ecu?
???

local guy, Joe knows his ****.

 

white ex...
does it run the secondary butterflies? or does it keep it open all the time?

 

aiite guys..i decided not to deal with secondary butterflies and just buy a skunk2 intake manifold...now heres my question..
should i stick with my chipped p28 or go with a jun chipped p72?

 

bump..need advice...

 

WAIT FOR THE AEBS INTAKE MANIFOLD AND KEEP THE P28!!!! Search and you will see that it has outperformed the Skunk2 on b16 and ITR motors. Also, there is no need to buy another ecu if you already have one that works fine. The only advantage of the p72 is the fact that it will control the butterflys which you will no longer have.

 

p28 will work, but on the same a 97 gsr or type r ecu is plug and play and doesnt need an adapter harness

 

yes, it runs the secondaries exactly like a p72 would.
