get a EX ECU. or else drive w/o vtec. it doesnt do much anyways. just drive it as it is w/ the LX/DX ecu. it'll just feel a little slower than usual. you should be fine as long as that ECU isnt set up for a auto.

Without a vtec ecu, You car will not rev past 5800? rpms or whenever vtec comes in. It will be like a rev limiter. You'll need the right Ex ecu. Curiouz stop talking out your *** and misleading people.
