Default ls vtec with auto. How?

Yep, going to try and do this LS/Vtec with an auto tranny but there's a problem of course: the ecu. I know my LS's ecu won't work and will need to get a Vtec ecu but what ecu should I get? It's an OBD2 and would like to keep it OBD2 and that's where the problem arises. What should I do? Can I get the JDM GSR automatic ecu or is it possible to get a manual ecu and convert, then allow Hondata to take care of it in the future? I haven't searched these forums enough so if any one can help, please. I've already got a complete B16 head with ITR cams and PR3 pistons and I don't want to sell this stuff, appreciate it

Not sure if this will work but have you tried looking into the P28 ecu and then chip it?

That's totally a ball park guess but most of the LS/Vtec setups I read about people use the P28 chipped

Well, like I said, I'm looking for an OBD2. Or is it possible to get the ecu and chip it, then get a different wiring harness to convert it to OBD2? Or is that even possible?

That's what I mean, I'm just wondering if it's possible or if anyone's done it. It'll be crazy to see an auto LS/Vtec

These autos are freaking hard to work with. I don't know what direction to take because I can't afford a manual tranny at this moment and not that many parts may go with an automatic. Come on, I know someone knows what to do, or what would yall do? Appreciate the support for those that responded

What about a ECU from a 4 door GSR auto?

Hmm.... does anyone have one for sale?

Is it possible to chip or convert a manual ecu to auto? I really need to do some extensive research...
