Compatibility and Tuning

The P11 is a non-VTEC unit. If performing a VTEC engine swap, this ECU will require hardware modification (adding VTEC components) and a software reflash to support VTEC engagement, or it should be replaced with a VTEC-compatible unit (e.g., P13 or P72).

Caution

Attempting to run a VTEC engine on a stock P11 ECU without modification will result in the engine operating without VTEC engagement, potentially causing performance loss and incorrect fuel/ignition mapping for the VTEC profile.
