my ecu is the only part of my car i didnt get my self and i was told i had a p13 spoon ecu, well i know it is a p13 but i dunno about spoon. heres pics whe ni opened it up, only thing i know is have no speed limiter. and vtec maybe early

so i opened her up.. check on the pics and tell me what you think, i didnt see anything spoon, that blue spoon thing was just a piece of paper floating around in there.

in the top left of the picture there is a component that has been burnt,blown,shorted etc,w/e, it looks damaged and probably not working, anyone know what exactly that part is/does?

automatic h22a ecu. i know for the civic/integra ecu's something like that messes up too. i was working on a car, that burned up 2 ecu's, something in the engine harness was bad, probably a bunch of bad wiring. it looked rigged up. so i put in a known good working harness. and problem solved. i heard if you have plugs crossed up, it can do that too?

how do you know its an automatic?, my car is running good though, and only cels are o2 (#1) and egr (#12)

just judging from the N50 on the side of the ecu. usually manuals are like J00, J01, or N01, N00 or something like that. a 5 being in there designates that is came originally an automatic. at least that is the case for civic/integra ecu's mainly.

well whats been done to make it work with my car h22a 5speed , and do you think i should get a new p13?

i know automatic ecu's will work on manual cars. some throw codes, and some don't i guess. but yeah, i think you should get a new p13. all of the ecu's i've dealt w/ that had a burned spot, couldn't be fixed, cause the track[s] were burnt up.

ok, i wonder why it still runs , vtec works and eveyrhting, i hit 140 mph yesterday lol. damn i looked online and p13's are pricey, maybe i should get a p28 and get tunedo n ectune or chrome, any suggestions?

yeah, from my experience the car will run but kinda rough iirc. yeah you could get a chipped p28, or something and get it tuned.

anywhere good to do that at a decent price?

whats iirc mean lol

IIRC = If I Recall Correctly


With my H22 EK (EJ for "JDM purists"), I had a Hondata P28. Got it dyno tuned by a pro and didn't worry about it ever again.

iirc, is if i remember correctly.

and for the chipped p28 deal, i could help ya out. but i have no extra ecu's laying around, i do have a h22a basemap that i put on a p28 before to run a h22a civic. and it was running fine.

That shit is burnt lol wtf. I bet it doesn't idle good.

do you live in atl?, i live in columbus(98 miles south of atl), if you can get you a p28 chipped you could do it? howd that civc run?

yeah i tried to google that happening to anyone else but no luck, its idles perfect actually except when is really cold it jumps for a few minutes.


ahg i just need to p28 this shit lol, i hope i have no internal probs though, i dont i do lol

you can get a chipped p28 from us.

Oh btw that burnt spot happens a lot when you mix up plugs on the wiring harness

12-09-2008, 11:22 PM
hmm, can you be a little more specific if possible lol. i think my wiring is ok though, yeah i was emailing you the other day about getting a tune. whats the ballpark price for a p28 chipped and tuned on the dyno for n/a, aem fuelrail and pressure reg,cai and light flywheel?

what days can i get a p28 and get tuned?

You can call our tuner, as he sets his own appointments and get setup for when its convenient for you.

more than likely you have the iacv/iat/iab/pwr steering plugged up wrong and it's fried the ecu.

we need to double check the continuity of the wiring before you plug in a new ecu to make sure you don't fry another one.

if you get the ecu the same day i tune you i'll check to make sure you have the iacv/iat connected properly before we tune/plug in the p28.

call me so we can discuss/set your appointment.

678-614-3596...leave a message w/ your name and # if i don't answer.

and the p13 isn't a spoon as are the majority of the ecu's out there that say mugen/spoon/etc. they are just hacks that put a decal on it and sell it for more than it's worth. all they did on that p13 was just adjust the binary/hex code to remove speed limiter and maybe shift vtec...possibly increase the overall timing and fuel trim, but it's far from tuned.

the only way to really get a tuned ecu is to have it tuned in your own car on a dyno.

Yeah I know thanks for he help, as soon as I can get the money I'll get a tune with a new ecu for sure
