ANY BUYING/SELLING IN THIS FORUM WILL RESULT IN AN INSTANT BAN!
Read the rules: http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=43956
Myself, and the other mods have been very nice and lenient with the rules. We have been deleting threads, and giving out warnings. Some members didn't get the clue and re-posted over and over... Now ANY member buying or selling in this section will be banned... No IF's AND's or BUT's.

You really can't do anything with that P14. You'll want a P06 from a 92-95 Civic LX/DX.
The actual "chipping" of the ECU is fairly easy. Simply de-soldering some components and replacing them with others that you can buy in a kit.
Tuning the ECU is a different matter. There is a LOT to learn when it comes to tuning an ECU.
We have a subforum in the Performance section dedicated to ECU tuning. There are also very helpful websites like www.pgmfi.org and www.homemadeturbo.com that will provide you with tons of info.

A P28 will also work with Vtec disabled for H23.
As Deev said chipping is fairly easy to do, But get it tuned professionally and don't attempt to go boosting around on a basemap.

If at first you don't succeed, Try again. Don't give up too easily, persistance pays off in the end.Comment

so once i get my motor and trans built then swapped into my car i should go get it tuned before i even try to drive itComment

p06 is cheaper and easier to acquire.Comment

I ordered this kit for chipping my P06 and also converted it to manual.

Very true. A P28 will work, as will a P72... but those cost more to buy, normally.Originally posted by wed3k View Post
Moates products are fantastic. I have a Hulog on my ECU right now.
But yes... when you finally get things all situated, don't drive the car. Get the ECU installed, and get the car running on a basemap. Then either get a tuner to come to you for a street tune, or limp the car very carefully (towing it would be better...) to a shop with a dyno for tuning there. Dyno tuning will pull the most power from your setup. A street tune can even out the A/F ratio, and many good street tuners claim to be able to get close to dyno numbers... but only the dyno tells you how much power you're making.

so guys i think i found a P06 out of a 93 civ dx it was in a 5 spd car so my next question is im swaping in a h23a1 with an h23 tranny i have an auto f22 as of now do i need an ECU out of a 5 spd or does it not matterComment

doesnt matter, the chipper should be able to fix that for you. I think it is only a matter of removing a resistor.Comment
