EX ECU
i have a 96 civic ex VTEC and i just bought a 96 hx VTEC ECU for when i turbo my car. i am going to use the hx ecu for tunning and save my old ecu for a back up. my question is, will the hx ecu swap out my old ecu with no problems? thanks

Re: EX ECU (JDM_Spec_SI-R)
EX has SOHC VTEC but the HX has SOHC VTEC-E. Seems like the HX is kind of a different animal. I'm not sure if it will give you problems or not.
Why not get a P28?

Bingo.
Unless you want an UNTUNABLE ECu that will throw check engine codes for EGR valve (your Ex doesn't have one) and primary o2 sensor (HX has 5 wire, EX has 4-wire) this is a terrible idea.
Get a jumper harness and OBD1 92-95 Civic P28 ECU from the EX/Si model and save yourself a self *** kicking.

not to mention the ECU's he has now are 96 and ODB2a. Neither are tuner friendly.
