2000 gsr swap with 1995 civic ex
i found a 1995 civic with a 2000 gsr swap, but it has the original ecu not the gsr ecu. what should i do either reprogram the ecu it has or buy a new one made for it? is it worth it at all.

The car might run enough to get it home or something but I would chip the ecu just incase you decide to do some mods to it later on

^^he's running it on the original SOHC computer. not a P72. it says in his first post.
but NLFer, you can run the GSR on the stock ECU, but it will not run at full potential (VTEC is set too low, rev-limiter is too low, fuel/ignition maps are not right)
the ECU you have now if its the original is a "P28". this is a good ECU and is actually worth some money. but for now, do as the other guy said an grab an OBD1 - P72ECU.

Re: 2000 gsr swap with 1995 civic ex
You should just have a tuner in your area chip your ecu and load a gsr basemap. You will most likely need a obd2b to obd1 harness because the swap is a 2000 but that would be way better than a stock gsr ecu. That way if you decideto do more to it you will already have the chipped ecu you need to tune it.
