Default ECU swap.

Would jus changing out my ECU give me more power or nything, without doing a motor swap, maybe be a dumb question but it jus popped in my head and thought it would be a good idea. If it can be done what would be a good ECU to swap for an 86' CRX Si.

don't listen to him. the 92-93 integras are obd1. You'll need an obd0 computer, but honestly I don't think it would benefit very much.

IF you have other mods, like intake, header exhaust, and a cam, then maybe you should look into a way to tune it. Then you should get a 90 or 91 civic computer, since it's chippable, an have someone tune it for you.

I've got a PG7 ecu from a DA teg that will work. It runs a little richer and has a higher rev limiter. It may not be a huge improvement now but if you ever plan on boost or nitrous it'll work great. PM if you're interested.
