Any way to do this with out the cel light on??

 

No offence, but I dont think it's the best idea to post that picture up. Nor is it needed for your question.

I serously doupt some one will stop to de sodder your ecu to steal an R? If they get that close and they are still breathing your car is gone any way..

 

everyone agreed that it was safe to post this, I think.

 

This pic has been posted several times before. They would simply swap to an OBD-I ECU with harness adapter before they would pop open your ECU and try to solder chips out...To answer the question, I do not believe that there is a way to do this without the CEL light coming on. You could alway get an OBD-IIa adapter and run a 97 or 98 ITR ECU.

 

How about the use of an JDM CTR ecu ? Since the early ones had the same p73 program i bet the late model was the same? Will it have an immoblizer?

 

I guess i should explain what we are up to. We have a GSR that is bult up to be a type r motor skunk 2 intake, all itr valve train and cams, header, etc. Running a 01 gsr ecu does not sound like fun and an 01 itr has an immoblizer in it.. So we are looking at all the options.

 

You don't want to convert it to OBDI? As Bradstard stated, you could convert the car to OBDIIa

 

We could but were too cheep ... $145 harness + and itr 98 spec ecu?

When the harnes is in there with a much larger ecu and no real bolt points?
Sounds sloppy..

 

JDM ecus do not have any imobilizers including the DC5 R.

you could also replug to 96-8 spec plugs to save

True but it still will not bolt up

DC5 R of course it won't plug in or work.

as far as replugging you can, using the some plugs from junkyard and current harness and going with 96-98 ECU

 

I would still be faced with the " will not bolt in thing" not to mention the whole pain in the butt re wire.
