B18c1 EK Hatch
Ok, i bought a 98 civic hatch with a b18c1 swap, everything was done very well and the car has been solid. Recently we had a serious rain and water got in my kick panel and shorted my ECU (took me a while to figure out) anyway, my question is why would there be a JDM P30 ECU in a b18c1 swap? The ECU appears stock although im not sure how to tell aside from it is not socketed so i guess thats why i assume its stock. Wouldn't it be better to run a gsr ecu? If i were to get a gsr ecu is it possible that the car is setup specifically for that ecu? There is an OBD1-2 adapter, i have an aftermarket skunk 2 intake manifold with the sensor disconnected (the harness doesnt even fit the plug on the manifold but it throws no check engine light. I read in order to run a P30 on a b18 you must have an aftermarket intake manifold. I found a jdm p30 and am probably going to buy it but i wanted some advice before pulling the trigger, i also want to make sure my ecu truely is stock(if pssible). What is the advantage of running a p30? redline? since its JDM i figure there are some other differences. Also the ecu was vinal wrapped for some unknown reason (which is why i thought it was tuned). Any advice would be greatly appreciated, my car hasnt run in the last 5 days and i am really wanting to get her up and running asap!
