What ECU should I use for a b20b?
An OBD1 P75 would be the best bet if you are against getting a socketed ecu, and getting it tuned/burn a chip for your application.
Will a B20 fit in an Integra?
B20 one will work fine if it has one. 5. Use your AC and power steering. Unbolt it and mounts from your blown engine and bolt it on the B20.

P28s are already VTEC ECUS. Then you’d have to get it socketted and chipped with a basemap for your setup.
How do you program an ECU chip?
ECU programming guide

- Open the ProECU software and choose Tools then Detect Vehicle.
- Select Program Engine ECU.
- Choose Query ECU to identify the ECU version fitted to the car.
Can I remap my ECU myself?
Can I remap my ECU myself? The short answer is yes. The long answer is – yes, but it’s complicated. We spent a lot of time reading and researching before buying our first remap tool and plugging it into a car.
How much HP does a ECU tune add?
If you have installed a lot of performance parts like cold air intake, exhaust and turbo – then tuning your car will definitely gain you a lot of horsepower. To give a ballpark figure – if you are on a stock car, you could probably gain 10-15 horsepower from a dyno tune.
Is ECU tuning bad for your car?
The truth is that ECU remapping is a much safer solution than mechanical tuning. However, you must remember some important aspects. ECU tuning is therefore based on the best possible adjustment of parameters to the potential of the car, so as to increase the engine’s power without adversely affecting its operation.
Are remaps illegal?
We would never recommend keeping the remap a secret, firstly because it’s illegal, and secondly because if you need to make a claim and the map is discovered then your insurer may invalidate your policy and refuse to pay out.
Why is tuning illegal?
Suspension tuning is a type of tuning that helps with the handling of your vehicle. Like everything, suspension tuning comes at a price. Both air or hydraulic suspension systems that are used in a way other than is intended can be deemed as unsafe and, in turn, illegal.
Can I tune my stock ECU?
OBD1 can be chipped, so no need for a stand alone. And even a 100% stock car can benefit from a tune. Each motor runs slightly differently, especially with some wear and tear on it, but each stock ECU runs the same tune. Dialing in the ECU for the exact engine will result in better power, mileage, and reliability.
Can you turbo a car with a stock ECU?
Yes, you can do this, although it depends heavily on the ECU, and you can’t run much pressure. I would estimate that you’re not going to get more than 5 psi of boost before you have some serious issues. In general, the reason this is possible is that stock engines have to run at a wide range of conditions already.
How much boost can a stock ECU handle?
You can run exactly 0.0 pounds. You can run ~ 11 psi on the stock map sensor once your ecu is chipped.

What is ECU tuning?
ECU tuning involves modifying the fuel and spark maps of an engine. Many modern engines also have controls for camshaft timing and many other items that can affect power output. With these, a computer chip is literally loaded with data and physically installed in your engines computer.
When should I reset my car ECU?
On a DSM, there are only two reasons why you would want to reset your ECU. One is to clear a CHECK ENGINE light or error code after fixing the problem that caused the error. The other is to reset the spark advance trim value.
What does ECU remapping do?
What is car engine remapping? Remapping a car, also known as ‘chipping’, is a quick and fairly cost-effective process that involves adjusting the microchip in your car’s Electronic Control Unit (ECU), to overwrite the manufacturer’s factory settings. This allows your car to function at its full potential.
Is ECU remapping safe?
Some people are concerned that engine remapping could cause problems with their car. But it shouldn’t affect reliability if you use a reputable company such as Superchips. Its technical director Jamie Turvey told us: “Remapping does put extra strain on an engine, but not a dangerous amount.
Is it worth Remapping a diesel engine?
In short no, you can only remap the later diesel engines. It is not worth remapping a naturally aspirated (non turbo) diesel engine. The power gains are not worth the expense. However if you are driving a turbo diesel that accepts a remap then you will probably see power gains of 30% or more.
