I swapped a JDM B18C1 into my EK hatch and I'm running the JDM B18C1 ecu.

My CEL light is on. When I check the code, I get 2 codes.

One code is for the electric load detector. What does that mean? Does it have anything to do with the fact that we used the distributor from my D-Series? Don't ask why, because I forget the reason why we used the D distributor.

The other code says I'm running rich or lean. My exhaust doesn't seem to be blue, so I don't think it's rich. What could be the cause? Could it be because I'm using the fuel pump from the D?

One more question.

Is there a power difference between the USDM B18C1 and the JDM B18C1? A friend of mine told me the JDM's are pushing close to 200hp. I think he's full of crap.

 

Anyone? No one?

 

is it a code 91?

JDM B18C's dont run much different than the US ones. I don't know the specs but they sure feel the same. LOL. What are the exact engine codes?

 

Code 20 and 45
