Are you looking to maximize the performance of your B20 VTEC engine swap in your Honda or Acura vehicle? Whether you’ve swapped a B20B or B20Z with a high-performance VTEC DOHC head like a B16A, B16B, B18C, or B18C5, our specially tuned performance chip is engineered to unlock your engine’s true potential. Designed for use with OBD1 ECUs such as P28, P72, P08, P30, P61, and P91, this chip delivers significant horsepower and torque gains across the RPM range, optimizing your B20 Vtec Obd2 swap for street or track.
Maximize Horsepower and Torque for Your B20 VTEC Engine
This performance-tuned chip is specifically designed for B20-VTEC engines, recalibrating your engine’s timing and fuel curves to generate substantial horsepower gains throughout the entire power band up to 8100 RPM. Depending on your specific engine setup and modifications, you can expect to see an increase of 8 to 20 horsepower simply by installing this chip. Experience enhanced throttle response, improved acceleration, and a more aggressive power delivery, perfect for both spirited street driving and competitive racing environments.
Tuned Chip Specifications for Optimal Performance
Our B20 VTEC performance chip is pre-programmed with the following optimized settings to ensure peak engine performance and reliability:
- VTEC Engagement Point: Lowered to 4750 RPM for earlier VTEC engagement and a broader power curve.
- Rev Limiter: Increased to 8100 RPM, allowing you to fully utilize the high-revving potential of your VTEC head.
- Idle Speed: Set to a stable 850 RPM for smooth idling and consistent engine operation.
- Knock Sensor: Configurable to be disabled or enabled based on your engine setup and tuning preferences.
- Speed Limiter: Disabled to remove factory speed restrictions, allowing for unrestricted top-end performance.
- O2 Sensor: Configurable to be disabled or enabled, providing flexibility for different exhaust and tuning setups.
- Oil Pressure Switch: Configurable to be enabled or disabled, depending on your monitoring and safety requirements.
Compatibility and Installation for OBD2 and OBD1 Vehicles
This performance chip is designed for use with OBD1 ECUs, commonly used in B20 VTEC swaps. It is directly compatible with socketed OBD1 ECUs such as P28, P72, P08, P30, P61, and P91.
For OBD2 Vehicles (1996-2000 Civics, Integras, etc.): If you are installing a B20 VTEC engine into a 1996-2000 Honda or Acura vehicle (originally OBD2), you will need to use an OBD2 to OBD1 step-down conversion harness. This harness allows you to utilize an OBD1 VTEC ECU (like the P28, P72, etc.) which is required to use this performance chip. This setup is a common practice for performance enthusiasts seeking greater tuning flexibility with OBD1 engine management systems in OBD2 vehicles when performing engine swaps.
Optional Features: Shift Light and 2-Step Launch Control
Further enhance your driving experience with these optional features:
- Shift Light: We can program the chip to activate a shift light at your desired RPM. Please specify your preferred RPM setting when ordering.
- 2-Step Launch Control (Optional): For drag racing enthusiasts, a 2-step launch control feature is available upon request. This feature is compatible with hydraulic transmissions using a hydraulic speed sensor and is not compatible with cable transmissions using mechanical speed sensors. Please indicate if you would like the 2-step launch control feature when purchasing the chip.
We also offer customization options to disable features such as IACV, VTEC speed check, oil pressure switch, and other sensors based on your specific needs.
