HI i have a 93 civic with a b18c swap and runing a chipet p28 ecu and i no my secondaries are not working... Would it be woth the money to change my stock intakemainfold to a skunk 2 ? so it will get rid or secondaries?? thanks alot for your time and help...

well you could go with a 95 GSR computer and wire the secondaries up. or you could get rid of them by swapping to a B16A3 intake manifold from a DOHC del Sol.

i would get the secondaries working and keep that manifold. they are there for a reason.

imported_trackhack

I could be wrong, but it was my understanding the the b16a2 and b16a3 manifolds are identicle and like the type R manifold, won't bolt up to the GSR head?


BTW, you can also chip your p28 such that it will have the ability to actuate the secondaries.

^^^ correct the B18c5 and the b16 mani will not fit, u will have to go aftermarket

hahaha oh yeah.... forgot about that. So get a 95 GSR computer. that would be the cheaper way anyways. and also the correct way.

thanks alot for the info!!!! there is no p72 ecu for sale on the form right now.... What would be a decent price for one??? and where is the best pleace to find one??? thanks agine...

I can modify your P28 to run the secondaries if you like.

Or, i have a friend selling a GSR Skunk2 Intake manifold.

PM me if you're interested in either.

Dr.K

check the for sale section of torontostreetracing.com <I found most of my B part's there.

are you throwing any codes rite now without using the secondaries? i'm running a P72 ecu and it all works nicely. it almost sounds like a dual-stage vtec cuz you hear the secondaries open up at 4300rpm, then vtec after that.

i was told that you may need a hondata or something to run another intake manifold like the skunk2 (due to the lack of secondaries). another cheap option is to remove them from your stock manifold, but some cars loose a lot of low end power by doing that (unless you're turbo that is).

do some more research, i'm still looking up which combo to use as well for an IM and TB cuz i have the same setup as you almost. =)

no dont think its thowing out codes with the p28 ,,,

Soo heres the deal !!! option 1 or 2 please help me here...

option 1) keep p28 ecu, buy skunk 2 mini. $350 /get ecu chipet?tuned?? $? not sure what kinda or how much...

optin 2) take out p28 and buy p72 ecu $200 pay some one to intall and add nock off senser $?

im going to keep car farly stock just i/h/e and may be cams... and than i think all stop.

dont have a hole lot of cash but do have a lil bit saved.. i just want to do it right and get the best band for my buck...
hopley u guys can help me with that.. thanks agine pll your asome!

imported_trackhack

or chip your p28 with the appropriate p72 map and have it control the secondaries. That option should be cheaper than $200 IMO.

imported_eth0r

chip the p28 with p72 program. simple

paloe

who can chip it ?

Scott-93HBSi

Yes, but you'll need to modify the ecu to run the secondaries. a P28 with a P72 chip won't work, becuase it doesn't have the circuitry to control them.

paloe

Okk,, If i go buy a Skunk2 IMF. what should i get mY P28 ecu chipet with??

and would i make more power out of my engine this way rather than buying a p72 ecu?

this is for my JDM GSR I/H/E may be next year i may get cams...

thanks for the help.........
