using P72 ECU on B16 motor.

will this ECU effect anything wrong to the motor? since the motor doesnt have secondary butterflies or do not use p72 ecu at all?

It runs it like absolute ****.

My friend and I traded ECUs back in 2000 when I had a GS-R and he had a B16A and let's just say that honda knew what they were doing when programming the P72 for the B18C1, and the P30 for the B16A.

Re: using P72 ECU on B16 motor. (B18C5-EH2)

i second the motion...running a P72 ecu on a B16A is shitty **** ****!!!

VTEC pops at 4400 rpm bogs at low rpm due to more fuel going in the engine, doesn't start pulling til like after 6k.

Luckily my buddy and I traded ECU he wanted VTEC early so i gave him my P72 and he gave me his P30...

bottomline...do not run a p72 on a B16, unless you want ur motor to run like ****...
