as most of you know i will be running a 1994 b16a3 motor....the ecu that goes with the motor is a p30....ive herd that the p30 is junk and i should get a pr3 instead? which one is better? and why?

right, ive never heard of a b16a3 engine or a pr3 ecu so im stumped

ahaha its all good man im sure sum1 can answer my question.

i agree with him just run a p28 and take it to ure local tuner, chip and tune it

i THINK someone told me that how they map the fuel kind sucks...

that's strange.... it's a stock b16 ecu.... anyways i never had any problems or complaints when i ran my b16 with that

i would go with a p28 bro there cheap 100 bucks but try to find one chipped already maybe 175-200.....

why a p28? give me some details

to be honest with u i think people like or recommend it cuz there very easy to chip out lol but i have no problems with my p28 alot of my friends running obd1 are p28s for efs there running pwo or pr3s

get a p28 and have it chippped problem solved

you can put a p28 on a dohc motor

a P28 is an OBD1 VTEC ECU. It can be chipped and a DOHC fuel map can be placed on the chip.


P28 are very popular as of their abundance compared to B series VTEC ECUs in the OBD1 series ie. (GSR, Del Sol VTEC)




A P30 does not run a B16A3 bad, it actually runs it the way honda intended it to run. If you want more performance, a tune with a CHIPPED VTEC ECU is in order. That can be a P30 or a P28 or p72. I think you should get a P28 (as they are more abundant than a P30) to chip because the P30 would be ruined when you add the ZIF socket into it.



B16A3 is a Del Sol B16A. OBDI
B16A2 is a 99 Civic Si B16A. OBDII
