ECU questions

[cbseven]

Is a P07 ECU basically the same thing as a P28. Just woundering if that staement is true.

Whats a p07?

[d112crzy]

it's not.

It's weird. You can chip it, just requires some other components that are hard to find.

I think cpmike or accord r33 chipped one a while back but had problems.

or maybe Im thinking of the p05.

Who chips ecu? need to get a hold of them so i can get my ecu chiped.

Accord R33, MRX, and d112crzy there all chip ECUs... I know the first two guys are busy, and sometimes don't have time to do it (they won't usually accept an order if they don't have time). Jose, I don't know if you're always up for it or not...

I heard a P05 was about the same as a P06. I never heard of a P07 (though I just learned of the P05 the other day...)

Anyway, I've heard that a P06 can be converted into a P28. I have no idea how, as I've never done anything like that... but it may be something to look into. 93twodoorLX is always a good source of P06s

I'm as free as a bird.

no a p07 is not the same as a p28, as the p28 controls vtec. all of those civic ecus are really similar, just some with extra or less components on the board. if you can find what they are somewhere online you can convert em to each other. im running a chipped p05, converted p28 (runs vtec) but bustedlx had done it, not me.

really as long as the board natively supports everything you need/want (vtec, iab, knock, stuff like that) most of them have the outlined section of where the chip it. so im assuming itd probably be easy to chip a p07, unless its an oddball.

[d112crzy]

p07 is from the the civic vx. it's vtec and when chipped, can be identical to a p28.

something about 5 wire o2. There's only been a few that have successfully chipped one. I'm pretty sure they disabled the o2 tho, so it wouldn't throw a code. I'm just not sure how to go about chipping it(duno if it uses the same components or not)

looks just like this

[cbseven]

well i have been told that a P06 kicks real hard and sounds good also. does anyone back that statement?

[d112crzy]

I've never had an ecu kick me at all.

But I do know that when you chip an ecu, you can burn a map on there that can run your setup.

After you get that, you need to tune it so it will run flawlessly.

Don't go around changing ecu's because you hear they kick hard(still never had one kick me).

Read my thread on how to chip in the ecu/tuning forum.

[cbseven]

well to start off i agree with you my statments might sound like im a ricer boy. the way i worded it i agree. I was baseing this info off of what i was told.

[d112crzy]

Don't ever do that.

Research everything.
