ECU Tuning & Fuel Management - new ECU!

What is the best ECU unit i can use on a d15 engine with a d16 mini swap head?

p28 is OBD1 VTEC....


thanks trust, typo

What head is it? D16Z6, D16Y8, D16Y7, etc.
What year is the car? Has anything custom been done to the engine harness wiring, such as OBD conversions?


p28 is OBD2 VTEC....

i need you to also answer these questions

its a d16z6 head on a d15b7 block. with the d16 orignal ECU. is it better to use the throttle body from a d16z6 motor instead of the 15b7 motor? which is better or are they the same? i have the wiring harness for the d16z6 motor. 4-2-1 exhaust header and after market intake manifold. AEM short ram air intake.

Alright, you use the ECU you already have (P28, original D16Z6 ECU). The only thing really any better is a chipped P28 ECU from Phearable with a custom basemap (or you could get a full tune but that's not worth the money on a stock setup).

D16Z6 and D15B7 throttle bodies are the same. However, the D16Z6 intake manifold is better than the D15B7 intake manifold. If you don't have the D16Z6 intake manifold and are looking for an inexpensive upgrade, I would get a used D16Z6 intake manifold, clean it out with throttle body cleaner, and get it ported and polished, and then swap it onto your car.

you can use a b16a throttle body might want to look into that too...=)

you're confusing me. you said you're swapping the z6 head onto the b7 block, yet the d16 ecu is original? look on the side of your ecu and tell us the middle 3 numbers/letters on your ecu. then we can tell you whether to change or not.

enough about b16's already, please :D

anyway, yea, I meant to mention you can use the throttle body off pretty much any OBD1 Honda engine (make sure it's for the right transmission). Or when you get the intake manifold P&P'd if you do, you can just get the D15B7 throttle body bored (is that the right word for this?) out to 60mm. 60mm is all you should want/need.

Man i hate that im frustrating everyone with question on my civy! Im a newbie at this ****, and im starting from scratch. i went out and bought a 95 civic with the motor and all complete for 200. Besides the big as hole in the the block and the right side all caved in im using all the parts off to fix my motor up and exteier up. Dont be surprised that i be back with more questions..
