I'm looking at an EK with a B18C5 swap. The owner has a GSR ecu in it that he says he was using to save gas and not rag on the motor. He said he has a P28 he could include with the car.

Coming from a VW background, I was wondering what effects running a GSR ecu on a B18C5 would have. Is it going to just be less aggressive? Will the fueling be off? Is it a bad idea? How much, if any, power would be lost in a setup like this?

 

fueling and timing will be a little off, but the main con. is that vtec on the gsr ecu switches at 4400 rpms, its setup to work with the iab's from the gsr; the typr r has single stage im. so vtec set that low is prolly bogging the car at vtec crossover

 

crossover point is 5500, fuel and timing maps are alot more agressive

so basically the car will just not be running at full potential? not risking any damage?

 

yea
