p28 is the best ecu period

Why would you use an ECU from a B18C1 for a B16A2? It's obviously the wrong answer.

The P30 is the best choice as it's what runs the B16Ax from the factory. As others said, if you can burn a P30 map onto the chip for your P28, that'll work just the same as well.

The only reason i say p28 is the best is because it has been proven and it has vtec and so versatile and plentiful those who have p72 hold on to them more than the p72 im wasted so so if i misspelled or anyone disagree with my opion

idk why you guys say one ecu is better than another
P28 - Civic EX/Si/Del Sol Si
P30 - Del Sol VTEC
P61 - 92-93 Integra GS-R
P72 - 94-95 Integra GS-R
P75 - 92-95 Integra LS/GS/RS/SE
P05 - 92-95 Civic CX
P06 - 92-95 Civic DX
are all chipable and you can convert them into whatever you want it may be more work but still if you have to burn a chip anyways?
im not hate'n just break the stereo type
