know anything about p13's or ecu's, check this out

[h22ek]

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.
.
thats what was written on there i guess


model number i guess

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?

[h22ek]

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.

[h22ek]

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.

[h22ek]

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.

[EmminoDaGreat]

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

[h22ek]

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?

[h22ek]

That shit is burnt lol wtf. I bet it does idle good.

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

[EmminoDaGreat]

you can get a chipped p28 from us.

[EmminoDaGreat]

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

[h22ek]

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?

[h22ek]

what days can i get a p28 and get tuned?

[EmminoDaGreat]

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

[h22ek]

ok thanks man i'll see what i can do.

[EmminoDaGreat]

BTW # is 678-614-3596

[scttydb411]

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
