We are doing an auto to manual swap on a 2001 Acura Integra. His 5 speed ecu is from a 2000 Integra manual LS

i know that these years integras have Immobilizers, how do i get around that? Im suspecting i have to take it to the dealer to have them reomve it.

I tried searching but most people said not to do it.
any help is appreciated

 

Just swap in a obd1 ecu and your set. If you plan on tuning its better to have a obd1 anyways.

 

theres a chip in there....just break it off...thats what i did to mine and still work.....you will have a constant CEL........pm me for more questions

 

Just use an OBD2A ecu.

 

Yea shouldn't the 96-99 ECU work, and not have the immobilizer thing?

 

96-98 ecu wont work

im guessing hes gonna need a 99 ecu , only OBD2B ecu that didnt have an immobilizer

 

Oh I thought OBD2A was 96-99, not 96-98, and I didn't know it wouldn't work with OBD2B. I guess I shouldn't have posted.

 

I vote you switch to OBDI.
