well you probably wont make more than 200 whp just because the trans wont be able to take it.

they never made a auto gsr ecu they just made the ls ecu with vtec but will a auto ls ecu match up to my hanness from a d15b7 or will i be cutting i just remembered that even if i use a ecu i will still have to use the tcm because 94-01 integras have a seperate computer for the trans... only the ones before that had the tcm built in and my car is obd 1

there are auto GSR ECU's, but they are JDM ECU's and would cause OTHER problems most likely.

and to the OP, Civics never had an electronically controlled auto trans, IIRC its all vacuum?

Regardless I've read that CRVs/Teggs used a COMPLETELY different automatic transmission system, so none of the stock automatic components will work, and the auto-tradgic transmission will puke WELL before you even reach 200hp.

to incognitob20eg:

There is no wire-cutting needed it would appear in this swap *I have a OBD2 Automatic B18B1 motor in my car with a manual trans*

I just let all the auto plugs dangle.
