Default putting in B18C5 in 99si what to do about getting around the imobilezer

well I have the motor and I want to put it im my car execpt I have been told that the imobilizer will not allow the car to turn on so what to do. I dont want to mess up the ECU and want not to have a cell in my face all day from taking out the imobilizer so how do I get around it besides buying a new ITR ignition for my car so the imobilizer will work?

Please help I want my new motor bad

Tape the ITR key under the steering column. Use the stock key/cylinder to start the car.

Here Here! Yes run the P28 with a jumper harness! May I suggest H-T's own user "kenji" to make your jumper harness and re-chip a P28 for you? I used to have his harness in my Civic with B18C5 running the JDM P73 ECU - his harnesses are truly bad-*** and won't come un-pinned.

Then I got one of his P28s - even BETTER! The motor puts down more whp than most ITRs in my areathat have even more mods than I do.

Just IM kenji here at H-T.

Immobilizer is a false sense of security for Type R owners that's programmed into the stock P73 ECU.

Its a transponder embedded in the key. The ECU must recognize the code in order for it to activate the ignition and fuel system.

Well I messed up I baught the P73 aka ITR 00-01 ECU and have it already so how do I fix it now I dont want to take it out because of the cell all the time. Do I have to buy a new ignition and get new keys? with a ITR ignition fit a 99 Civic SI?

I hate this damn emissions

How about sell your ITR ECU and buy a P28 for like $100 from a Salvage yard and have kenji peprogram it for $150 or so?

Try that.

I say buy the P-28 and jumper. Then, kick yourself in the *** for not planning ahead and purchasing this in the first place.
