which ecu?

[gooose45]

hey guys im doing a b16 swap from a 99si into my 96ex so far i got dc 4-1, skunk2 mani, aftrmrkt intke, and skunk2 exhst. i know i need to go obd1 and got the convr. harness. now, which ecu should i go with? p28 or p30? chipped? what program is best? not really planning on going turbo or nos maybe internal work latr. also a buddy told me that if im going to go obd1 that i need to change to an obd1 distributor, is this true? please help, planning on doing the swap in 2-3weeks

A 96 ex is obd2 you have an obd2 motor use an obd2 ecu. Unless you want to change to obd1 for tuning. You don't need an obd1 distributor with a conversion harness.

ok great, so which should i go with p28 or p30? dont know much about the pr3, but i do want to buy a ecu that is already chipped.

if its chipped, don't bother with a p30. get the p28.

i have a bin for a similar setup if you want a chip for it, pm me. vtecin5th can vouch for the program in his b16

wait, the 3 plugs from the conv. harness fit into the p28 but the female end only takes 2 plugs from the stock harness.
then i tried connecting the stock p2t(99si) to the stock harness and only two plugs fitinto that one. whats the deal? is this normal sorry for the mix up but disregard the last post it was the other way around.

 

[posol]

yea, sounds like you got the wrong obd version... call the company you got it from.

99si is obd2b
