2) Use appropriate language. Racial or sexual slurs will not be tolerated. A ban will be issued at the discretion of the cb7tuner.com staff.

3) No items may be sold in the Beginner forums. Any "for sale" threads will be deleted.

    I believe with the h23, you need a p14

      Correct. The P13 is for the H22, and will not run an H23 correctly. Get a P14, or find someone to chip a P06 and tune it for YOUR motor (not a generic tune). Those are your options.

      For now, I'd stick with the PT3... but don't drive it hard. Drive it like it's broken.

          92-95 Civic DX/LX.

          It MUST be modified and properly tuned to be used. It's not just a "plug it in and go" deal.

          Honestly... just get the P14.

            Good thing about the p14, they're EVERYWHERE and don't cost that much. I bet you could find one on Ebay for around 50 dollars, shipped.

              I found one in the junkyard the other day.

              Unfortunately... the car had caught fire.

                I was just browsing Ebay, found several for 50 to 70 dollars. Which is about as much as I'd pay. Even that may be a bit steep. You could always try Craigslist

                  50 is decent. 75 is a bit high.



                  That P13 would sell on ebay for more than a P14... or it could be traded to someone that pulled an H23 in favor of an H22.

                      another quick question.. ok so i have dicided that i am going to go with the p14 ecu since i have a h23a non v swap already done. Does it matter if the p14 ecu comes from an auto or manual.

                        I've read that it does. But, a lot of performance shops will convert from auto to manual for a small fee.

                          idk but shouldn't the only thing diffrent from a p13 and a p14 is the v-tec?

                            Why would that be the only difference? VTEC is essentially two camshafts in one... so the fueling for a VTEC motor is completely different.

                            You are assuming that because the ECUs and engines are named similarly that they are similar... and honestly, in terms of tuning, they aren't very similar at all.
