Default Which ECU Should I use?


Hey guys just wondering if I could use a PR4 obd1 ecu
with my b18b1 obd1 engine swap? I am putting it into a 95
honda civic coupe dx. It should work fine if it 0bd1 correct or
should i be using a P75 obd1 ECU for the b18b1 swap?

Thanks in advance for all the help!!!!

Either or should be fine. My friend right now is running an OBD1 PR4 in a 93 DX with a 96 B1 swap.

I think the P75 would be better but I'm not sure

I am running an OBD1 P75 with an OBD2 motor in a 93 cx, I dont see why it wouldnt work.

Check the plug pattern, obd1 plugs will only fit in an obd1 ecu. I would check mine for any sort of marking but I am far too lazy, sorry.

This is true, but for the engine to just start up and run so the kid can get from here to there, it should work just fine. But down the road make sure to get the proper ecu

you could run a p72/p30.. or any civic/ integra ecu in the same obd just so it plugs in and it should** start and run the car but will throw a cel for no vtec lol. i ran my b20b with a p2p ex ecu . then i got my vtec head and ran it with an obd1 p28 chipped . the only problem with ex ecu is it wouldnt rev over 5k and it had a cel
