im doing a mini-swap i didnt really ook and see if there was alreadyanother thead about this so sorry if there is. But i was reading someones thread on here bout how to do the swap step by step, and when it got to the ecu, he said it just plugged right in and mine doesnt. I don't no if i need to buy a different y8 ecu or do they sell a conversion for it? i posted pics of the two ecus, top is is y7 and bottom is y8. also i dont no what ecu either is, so if u know, could you tell me please?

The top one (P05) isn't an ECU for a Y7, it's for the '92-'95 D15B8 (Civic CX hatchback). The P05 is OBD1 and that specific P2P is OBD2A ('96-'98 Civic EX). What year is your car? I'm assuming that your car is a '92-'95 Civic, in which case, you would be better off selling the P2P and getting a P28 (from a '92-'95 Civic EX or Si). Your other option, since you already have the P2P ECU, is to buy an "OBD1 to OBD2A conversion harness". With that you would also need to add a 2nd O2 sensor.

ya my car is a 92 civic and what i thought was a d16y7 motor. but ya, i just bout the p28 ecu online and will get here sometime this week. But since i got the p28 ecu now on the way, will i still need a conversio harness? or will the harness jus hok right up to the ecu?

With the P28 you won't need a conversion harness, since your car has the plugs for OBD1 and the P28 is also OBD1. Just plug and play.
