chiped p28 ecu

[newjdmdriver]

what do you guys think about a chiped p28 ecu? will this plug and play unit hurt my 92 accord dx? my friend had it in his single cam non v motor, and man that littel thing pulled like crazy just from the ecu upgrade! he wants to see it to me for almost $300. give me your thoughts on this please and thank you

oh realy 150? wow well are these ecu's good for the accord? cuz my friend had his in a civic.

They are with the right software. But also a P06 will do and it´s cheaper

The ECU is not plug and play in accords...Yea it will plug in but requires more. Its really pointless to use a p28 in a non vtec motor. You can disable it but its just a waste of money when you can get a p06 for a lot cheaper and if you get a vtec motor you can chip it to run vtec also. All these ecu need to be "chipped" to your application you plug em into your car stock without modification your car will run like shit.

Thanks, I forgot to mention that

I also might add MRX, D112, and some others chip ECU on here and charge cheaper than 300. All chipped and socketed with a basemap.

what kind of mods should be done to my motor for the P06 ecu to work right?

It'll plug in... but that's about it. No ECU is simply plug and play. Hell, my fuel map, which is good but far from perfect (limited time and tools when we tuned it) wouldn't be great for anyone else's motor...


The P28 would work for an F22A, but a P06 is way cheaper. The VTEC functionality of the P28 would be lost on the non-vtec motor.


For $300, it's way too much, as said above. I recently sold a virgin P28 for $75 shipped. It wouldn't be more than another $75 to get it chipped... or if you're comfortable with soldering electronics, $25 for the kit. Then you'd just need to get a map.

There isn't much to gain on a stock or near-stock (bolt ons only) F22A. If you do some MAJOR work, tuning the ECU would be worthwhile... but these cars don't really respond to it all that well.



If you have $300 to spend, there are better things to spend it on.

As for mods... at the very least, you should have an intake, header, good exhaust, and a camshaft. At that point, you could gain some power by leaning out the mixture a bit (carefully) because you'll most likely be running very rich with the stock ECU. Headwork, internals, and an increase in displacement would definitely benefit. Larger injectors would REQUIRE it (well, some sort of programmable fuel management... a chipped ECU is the basic setup, you can get MUCH fancier... there are standalone systems out there worth more than your car and mine put together!)
