Nope and you don't even need the computer really. The Jdm ECU has a speed governor on it.

you can use either ECU... The only thing you would need to swap is the Distributor. The JDM engines use internal coils and USDM use external

What's the difference between "just the engine alone" and "longblocks?"

depends wut the person meant by "just the engine alone"....

also, i don't think the older usdm h22s had external coil anyways so it should be a direct swap? can anyone with a usdm 93 h22 confirm?

all preludes 92 and up had external coil distributors. Not sure about the 3rd gen and older. But they didn't put the h22 in the in the prelude until 93.

My jdm h22a (from '95 Accord SiR) had an internal dizzy, so I just put my H23a1 external dizzy on it.
