98vtec, thanks the infos.... here's the thing i have a 2000 prelude and i also have a 2000 usdm itr ecu, obd1 p73 jun ecu, and a 1998 gsr ecu. i feel that i will be better off using one of these ecu in my prelude... hoping for a higher redline and maybe better rev response (meaning, between shifts, the rpm kinda floats there unlike my itr, the rpm seems to drop right away.) which one would be the best for my prelude with these choices???

you will be slower if you install those ecu's without putting on a h22 map on there.

You have no idea what you are doing. I suggest you stop what you are doing, stop buying useless parts, do some reading and understand what you are attempting to do. None of that would make any sense to install.

the ignition and timing maps for a B series are nothing like an H series first of all. Second of all, u dont need a higher redline when your car doesnt make power beyond the stock rev limit.

if you really want to use one of the ecu's. Use the OBDI gsr with the OBDIIa-OBDI conversion harness, have it socketed to accept an eprom 256k chip with an h22 basemap burned onto it. Then it is a REQUIREMENT to be tuned with Crome, hondata, uberdata, Neptune.....no vafc/safc bullcrap.

Without knowing what you are doing with this stuff, you are going to get yourself into something so deep that you will be way in over your head.

hi blake.......wanna make babies?

I agree with above........quit wasting your money on stupid **** till you know what you want in your engine.....just getting an ECU that someone else made some power off of will not help you.....read for understanding...not to just say I read that post
