Chip my P28

[delsolcharlie]

im in Augusta, GA. i called all the computer/automobile places..no one will install a chip..does anyone know where or a place in augusta..or know someone that could install one..i already have the chip instructions and ecu..

I do ecu chipping, but is this some generic bull shit chip? Just had to ask because ebay sells alot of junk that will make your car run like shit and ruin the engine 9 times out of 10.

its off of ebay but it looked better than those other ebay chips..i just got it b/c im doing an auto to manual conversion and i didnt wanna buy a new ecu and this is supposed to convert it...here is the link and you can see if it is a good buy or not

No chip will convert to manual.

you need to do other steps to convert from auto to manual.

8500 is way to f'ing high for a stock head d16.
5200 vtec is way too late for a lightly modded d16

throw it in the trash.

yep...you'll take a huge chance of floating valves with that rpm on a stock d16 head.

ecu

For USDM OBD1 ECUs (p28):
Underneath the ROM there is a row of resistors labelled with RP__ . Remove RP17 and install a jumper across RP18.


HUH!!! when you start talking about circuit boards i have no clue..a jumper, is that just a little wire that i need to solder from RP17 to RP18??

unless you're doing cams, raising the compression, forced induction, etc, your basic mods like i/h/e don't warrant the need for any ecu tuning, as they really don't do anything to alter the need for air/fuel mixture any extent beyond the factory specs.
