93 hatch with B16A
ECU is a P06.
I want to get an ECU that is more suitable for the DOHC vtec motor and chip it then tune it.
Should I get a P28 or P30? Any other suggestions?

P28.

What should I tune it with?

U can use the p06. there is a conversion kit. i install them all the time.

If you are going to chip it either will do.
The p28 will probably be cheaper and easier to find.
Good luck.

Well I guess that's what my car has right now because it's running the B16 but it feels like it could run much better.

Is this something you guys do in house?
I'll PM you.

Thanks

The conversion is to add the VTEC parts. The P06 and P28 (and P30) are all the same ECU. Take a P30, remove the knock sensor board, and you have a P28. Take the P28, remove the VTEC components, and you have a P06.
The stock programs are different obviously for the different engines that the 3 ECUs run from the factory, but chipping takes care of that. They're all literally the same circuit board, and there are blank spots where the parts are missing.

So get someone to add the VTEC parts when the ECU is chipped, and you'll end up with a chipped P28. Problem solved.

Well the ECU is chipped because the car engages VTEC no problem. I guess I just need a good tune and valve adjustment. I can hear a really annoying valve tick. Hopefully it's just that and nothing else.


Thanks

Yep, sounds like you're on the right track.

It's the other way. P06 will be easier to find and cheaper too. Most people are hung up on the P28 for some reason. And a previously mentioned they are the same after the P06 is converted to VTEC
