Default Building a DX "Plus" have ECU questions


Brand new member here.
After two hundred and forty thousand plus bone crushing miles, my Dx
has died. The shrieking noise coming from under the valve cover is a valve preparing to be eaten ( think).
I have taken the DX off the road and am beginning a re-do. I'll either go JDM or have my own motor re-done by a qualified machine shop. Seeking to add a little punch to my ride, I have snagged an intake from a '91 Si, complete with harness, injectors and all of the various bits. Believe it or not, I'd like to keep it an automatic.

My question: is there a corresponding ECU I can find that will allow me to run the Multi-port injection and my auto?
Please, no posts on how I need to swap for a manual and put in a super whomper ninety-nine valve monstermotor etc. I am not interested in running 12's, I just want a little more scoot and a nice daily driver.
Thanks...........................Karl

I believe the 90-91 Civic EX ECU would suit your needs, as it is for a 1.6L MPFI and had an auto available. But then again, this is just an educated guess for me. Use the search button on top, maybe someone else has done the same.

i have used 90-91 automatic integra Ls ecu for the same thing... pr4

also 88-89 integra automatic pg7 will work too.


but the correct ecu is the 90-91 civic EX pm6 automatic ecu.

Thank you very much for the info gentleman. As I work on my DX I'll post and keep you folks updated. Now begins the ECU search!
By the way, I am re-reading my post and I would like to apologize if I appeared blunt at the tail end of it. I read so many post replies by folks who seem to believe
that if a motor is going to be replaced/rebuilt that it should be a sub orbital screamer and if you don't have a manual trans you are some kind of fool.
Gonna have a nice ride when I am done.
Thanks........................Karl

there is no PM6 automatic ECU - the 90-91 Civic EX ECU is PS9

So far as the last post, would that particular ECU be a "Plug and play" sort of thing or would I have to do some modifying on the connectors or wiring?
