i am in the final stages of my Ek swap with a gsr motor and im startin to wounder about my ECU i bought the OBD1 jumper harness and was wounder if i could use a OBD1 chipped P72 or do i have to use the P28

also anyone no if i have to swap out my hold throttle cable from the civic to my integras

you can use a chipped P28, or an obd1 P72 with the conversion harness. You dont need to run a chipped P72 to properly run that motor, assuming its n/a.

Yes you should be fine using that ecu. It really shouldnt make a difference...And about the throttle cable. I belive that the stock civic one would be too short...your just going to have to put it in and see. Maby you can rig up a braket to make it work or something..

thanx guys i just didnt wanna hook up my ecu and run my car to lean or anythin like that im kinda dont this hole swap off the top of my head and from ppl on here so thanks again for the advice

egvtec

just dont use a stock p28, either run P72 or a chipped P28 with a P72 program, and watch those chipped p28s on ebay some run your motor richer than bill gates

dont forget about the secondary butterflies... you would need a p72 to properly run them.

i have a skunk 2 manifold so i dont have to worry about that

if your worried about it then get it turned, if you have the money do it right :D

oh then you can use either ecu. just make sure the chip has a p72 map or get it tuned.

to your other question: I didnt have to swap throttle cables when i did the same swap. it put a very slight kink in the cable, but didnt cause it to stick or anything. since you have a skunk2 manifold, i believe it has the mouting bolts for a b16 throttle cable bracket?
