my journey to DOHC!

[d112crzy]

that's the thing, i used the DOHCF22B map i got from dat bin site, one question, does it matter the way the chip is inserted? and also, are you saying that i wasted my $ on getting that ECU chipped when what i need is an auto ECU?

Yes, it does matter which way the chip is inserted. there should be an arrow or a little half moon on it, make it point towards the plug side.

I wouldn't give up just yet. You just need to find someone selling an automatic chipped p06 and ask to trade straight up.

OR, you could sell it, and buy an auto p06 and chip that one.

i need the car ASAP though, is there really no way to make this ECU work?

[d112crzy]

You'd have to convert it to auto, but it's not even worth the hassle.

Best bet as of right now, convert to manual or get a p39 or p14. with the p14, you'd have to wire in a knock sensor.

[prNonVtec4u]

how hard is it to convert it to auto?....

[d112crzy]

Same level of difficulty as it is to chip an ecu. Not hard at all.

But knowing what parts you need and where to get them is the hard part.

if I had an auto ecu, i'd send it to you asap. But I don't so I'm sorry. Ask MRX or anyone else.

[prNonVtec4u]

isn't the only difference some resistors or something?

[prNonVtec4u]

also, will a 96-00 civic ecu work? and does it matter if it's a vtec ecu

[d112crzy]

Yup.

But go ahead and find the correct ones. Then figure out where they go.

accord/prelude boards arent the same as civics. So, while you can use the parts, you won't be able to put them in the same area. It's different for every type of board since some have things that some don't.

[prNonVtec4u]

does it matter if it's a VTEC ecu?

[d112crzy]

no, that's actually where a lot of people get their auto components from.

But if you have an auto p28, sell the p06 and chip the p28.

[prNonVtec4u]

i can get an auto p28 right now for $20 obo so i might as well get a hold of that, can i take the stuff from the p06 and resolder it on the p28?...

[d112crzy]

you can.

[Turbo Dave]

i have a po6 auto its yours for 30 shipped...

[prNonVtec4u]

pmd

[Turbo Dave]

hey got your pm, the po6 is at my house and im at my rents

all i have is a po5 p75 and a p13 which i dont think you can use.

maybe you can use the p75 im not sure.

i think you should go ahead with the p28 yes u can use the stuff from the p06.

edit i meant p75
