Default Will a 99 civic DX ECU work with 98 b18b motor?

I'm about to swap a 98 b18b (ODB2) into my 99 civic DX hatchback (OBD2) But i wanted to know if my DX ecu will work temporary, and will it cause any problems?


thanks

it wont work right. thats an SOHC ecu being used on a DOHC motor.

The maps are very different, it may run, but very poorly.

i know about it being a different ECU and its from a SOHC, which would make it have different maps..my question is will i get by with it just for the drive home (15-20 miles) if i go easy on it will it mess anything up?>

You will definitely run lean. Well, stick it in and drive it around the block. Perhaps it will run well enough to make it home.
