P06 In a D16z6.

dude.. you need to swap the ecm when you swap the motor. the d16z6 runs the p28 not the p06... that would be a key factor on why you failed the smog test. get the right ecm and DO IT RIGHT.

He didnt say he failed it. I wanna know if anyone can chime in on if this is a problem.
My buddy has an SI del sol and it was running off a p06 too
I would thin you could run the vtec controller in place of the non vtec ecu??? sounds like it could work possibly thats how it was done?

Not sure if it would pass smog with a P06 or not.
I got lucky and found a P28 on craiglist before i was due for a smog check, so i threw that on and got tested.
I dont think a VTEC controler would make vtec work, without the vtec ecu.
Because neither the ecu nor controller will have the "fuel maps"(?) and stuff needed for vtec to work.
I believe a Vtec controller just tricks the ECU to think that the "conditions" are correct for vtec to kick in and therefore the ecu switches to "vtec mode" (LOL). And with the controller you can chooose when to trick the ECU that those conditions are right depending on your chosen RPMs...
At least thats my understanding on it.
i could be COMPLETELY wrong on everything i just said tho... so idk. lol

^ But what ur saying makes sense so its all good lol.

The P06 will actually help slightly for HC emissions on a D16Z6, however you may see N0x emissions increase due to the higher combustion temps with less fuel.
As for the VTEC controller discussion.... They are a waste of money, time, and headaches. Technology has advanced way past the need for these anymore. (and yes, they will "work" with a non-VTEC ecu)
