97 EK B16a What ecu??
I have a 97 civic coupe with a b16a. what would you guys think i should use for the ecu? I have a 99-00 usdm civic si ecu but that is obd2b. I have a jdm b16 ecu that came with the swap but jdm's have rev limiter. So I was wondering should i be using one of the previously mentioned ecu's or should i get like a 96-98 GSR or Del sol ecu? what one would make my car perform better? Because as far as i know i need an obd2a (96-98) will the usdm si ecu work? or should i buy a gsr or delsol ecu? let me know what you guys think.
Thanks
Rick

if the motor is JDM then use the 96-8 JDM P30 ECU, as JDM motors use OBDi programming and don't have all the sensors for the OBDII USDM ecus.
all ECUs have rev limits with 200rpm of each other (jdm at 8200rpm and usdm at 8000rpm). what JDM ecu has is a speedlimiter which limits the speed to 180km/h or about 112mph
