hi guys..what other ecu will work with older b16a engine from jdm ef? my brother got the engine but no ecu

will 92-95 ex sohc work? (do i need to reprogram it? wiring?)

what about 94-95 gsr obd1 (wiring?)

any other alternative? will obd2 gsr with converter work?

or just buy dfi or haltech and byebye ecu..

HELP!


this is what i got from hybrid page:
For engine control, you have three choices. Use a stock Si-R ecu, which requires some wiring changes. Use the stock Si ecu, reprogrammed for a higher red limit and the use a external rpm switch for VTEC activation. Or use a Del Sol VTEC engine harness and rewire the engine compartment and dash to use the Del Sol VTEC ecu. With either the Si-R or Del Sol ecu, note that there is a speed sensor in the transmission that tells the ecu that it is okay to activate the VTEC. If it doesn't see that signal, you get no VTEC and a slow motor. I am sure you can fool it if you know what you are doing. The Del Sol VTEC service manual should be able to guide you through the wiring. This can be the hardest wiring install, since you are combining the parts from three different cars (U.S. Civic, JDM/U.K. Civic, and Del Sol).

mr. jspek. you can use a 93 GSR ecu, a PW0, or repinn a 94 Del sol ECU which means probably a 94-95 GSR ECU too.

 

thanks buddy. i just voted for you to be president of 0 forum

where do i get pw0 now.. its $250 on ebay

thank you for your support

 

WAIT!!!

You left out the most important detail:

What car is it going into?

I know you said it came from an EF in Japan, but is it going into a 1988-1991 or 1992-1995 car here?

That will determine which ECU works.

 

oops. its going to 88-91

thanks

leo

 

i've got a PWO ecu if you are interested. Let me know. gtg997a@prism.gatech.edu

 

where can i get the ecu wires?

fire7882 you got pm

 

this was the dead giveaway man..

 

is this issue resolved?

use pr3, pw0 etc.. 92-93 gsr ecu wouldnt work.
add wires for vtec,knock and vtec oil presure. wiring diagram is on hybrid honda-perf

 

How was it a dead giveaway?

There are 1992-1995 SiR Civics too.

He *could* have been mistaken on the "Si ECU with external VTEC controller too" so I just wanted to make sure.

*If* it's a 1988-1991, get the PR3/PW0 ECU. An Si reprogrammed is iffy because of fuel, timing, and rev limit specs.

 

well mr B18C5-EH2 I guess its subjective on how the problem is approached... in all due well we're both right anyways

 

thanks guys for the info. !!!
