which ecu to use
well ok since summer i've been rebuilding a B16A2 motor, and i'm curious what ecu i should use. A lot of my friends say use a 98 - 01 gsr ecu, and i was thinkin since my motor besides the head and block, are all mostly 99 - 00 si parts that i would get that SI ecu. I was told from a local shop that i shouldn't get the b16a ecu because its only meant for right hand drive cars .... so any advice would be good now.

A GSR ecu would be the last thing that I would get for that motor.
If you want a plug and play ecu, get a P28 that's been rechipped for a dohc motor.
If you plan on getting hondata, you're gonna have to get a P28 anyway. So, might as well do it now.

Re: (civryder02)
you buy a chipped P28...they solder a chip to the circuitboard that has a different program designed for your motor (different VTEC engagement, fuel curves, etc)
For instance...check out what EG6AJK has for sale: https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=430594
Search "ECU chipping" under archived content and you'll find a ton of stuff
