im wondering if anyone has done something similar to what i am trying....
i have a 96 cxi hatch with a d16y4 engine. i have turboed the engine and am running a t03 turbo,35mm wastegate,2.5" straight through downpipe / exhaust with no cat.600x300x76 intercooler with 2.5" piping, bov, 255lb fuel pump, custom radiator...
unfortunately im still running the stock injectors and ecu...yes im aware of how bad this is and because of this i can barely boost the car, altho the new optimax extreme has lessened the pinging immensly.
anyway...i ordered from the states a P28 ecu (92-95 vtec) thats been chipped with uberdata and bought some 450cc injectors. firstly the obd2a wiring harness doesnt fit my stock ecu....im guessing the US computers are completely dfferent, i probably shoudl have researched a little more.i did go thru it with the guy i bought it off (chris from http://www.redshiftmotorsports.com/) and he assured me that it would all fit and be fine.WRONG!
as stated the ecu conversion harness is wrong, the p28 ecu has numerous functions that my car doesnt. my friend who is a mechanic said he would be able to take the harness and my ecu and make a new harness to fit but during the process he just came across to many problems so the idea has largely been scrapped.
my question (yes i finally got there) is: can i use the p28 ecu on my car? is there something my friend and i have missed while trying to figure it out?
the other question would be has anyone here done this sort of conversion? does anyone use uberdata on the site if so with what ecu?
any help would be appreciated...im either going to try this or just buy a microtech and go that rout.
thanks for the help and sorry for long post
