f23A5 to F23A1 ECU question
My DX has the A5, I'm swapping in an A1. This is a commuter car, I have another swap project for fun. Need this one to pass emissions, blah blah..
If I pick up an ECU and matching Ignition with Key, with this be a simple swap? No CEL right and ready to pass emissions? I mean it will suck that I have a different key for door and ignition but so be it.
This one already ended, but it's what I'm looking for.

If I'm not mistaken you can have the ECU/Ignition Immobilizer reprogrammed for a few bucks. You can have the immobilizer/ECU programmed to accept the new key OR you can clone the new key to use the same encryption code as your existing key. Any locksmith that has a handheld immobilizer key programmer can do it.
Call around and see if the cost of reprogramming is worth your time!

You'd just need the immobilizer/ecu reprogrammed to your current key. Honda can do this for you.
It just so happens I have an automatic f23a1 ecu... and am looking for an a5 head. Shoot me a PM

I'm swapping out because A5 has leaking RMS and a bad bearing. So I can justify the swap and get a "free" project
motor out of it. Just need a shell. How much you want for the ECU.
