i do believe that the ecu on the em2 chassis is behind all the plastic covering on the passenger side floorboard up behind the glove box compartment.

Thats where its located on the base RSX as well as the type s, EP3 civic si, and assuming its pretty much the same, thats where itll be on the EM2.

i may be a dumbass on this, but its what i know.

it's behind the glove compartment, if you take it out, you will see the ECU behind it.
