Default my motor wont vtech

i got myself a 92cx b16a swap.
best guess is the motor is out of a 1989 or 1990 jdm integra
so i got hold of a p28 obd1. ebayed a skunk2 chip for 92-95ex 4800rpm vtech
i chiped it myself because i wasnt about to pay $60 to have it done when i could do it myself.
i swaped the ECU's and drove my car around long enough for it to warm up. then i ran it through 4800. no vtech. drove around some more. tryed to get it to vtec and still nothing

my cx has a single prong o2 sensor im about to change out this week.

does anybody have any ideas why it wont vtech

you do realize that those motors all have completely different fuel/ignition maps right? Different sized injectors...etc. your EBAY chip is prolly the reason you dont have vtachie.

Since you dont seem to know what your doing you should probably get the ecu that belongs with the motor.

or you can spend more money getting your p28 chipped the right way with a basemap that is for the motor and then go to to a dyno and get tuned on a program like hondata, crome, uberdata, etc

or you can spend $2 and have someone show you how to spell "vtech". We should create a noob forum for shits n giggles. It'd be 10x better to watch than an off topic forum =D
