ok i just picked up a 95 civic coupe. its has a D16y8 motor with a t3t4 turbo set up. it has an OEM rebuild on the whole motor. now onto my questions,


It was originally a dx so it has a p05 ecu. i was told to get a p28 vtec ecu before i get it tuned. is this true or no?


i just need a little information about it any help is great. thanks guys

 

i would. a p28 is a good ecu to tune cause its an obd1 and there is a lot more opions as far as tuning goes

 

yea thats what i was told.. and what fuel pump would you recomend?

 

ECU,socketed p28
Fuel pump,Wallbro 255lph
Good tune!!!!!!!!!!

These should set u right.

 

Also, upgrade headstuds to arp and get a headgasket. Otherwise, if you go into boost a lot the headstuds will stretch. Stock d-series ones SUCK!

The p05 isn't worth a shit to tune with. Plus, I think that one is a economy ecu. I can't remember, so it'd have a 5 wire O2 and would make it un-tuneable for your needs.

 

Correct. Also upgrading the headstuds and headgasket would increase your boost capabilities.

And if u do have the economy ecu that takes a 5 wire wideband O2, u will need to hardwire a 4 wire narow band into your harness due to the fact that the p28 will not work properly with the wideband signal. Believe me, i learned this the hard way.

 

thanks for all the help guys... im coming to the conclusion boost is out of my budget lol but i got something in the works for that but i really appreciate all the comments and opinons
