Hello i have a 1996 automatic d16 SOHC Ecu and I'm using it on my 1996 d15 5speed SOHC swap. I heard there's a way to reprogram the automatic ECU for Manual applications. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

p28???

the way i did mine was I THINK cut resister RP18

and jump RP17 or it might have been the other way around

what linked said is right but only if it's an OBD-I ECU. a 1996 should be OBD-II so unless you already have converted to OBD-I... you'll need to.

You can't convert OBD2 ECUs unfortuntely.

****...so will it still run okay ?

it will run but you will throw a code in relation to the auto tranny no longer being there

Will it idle unusual?...

D16SiHatch

OBD2 ECUs, no, you can't. Well, you can chip them, but it's hard and nobody does it.

Just get a 5 speed EDU. Or better yet, get an OBD1 ECU and you can do whatever you like with it.
