Default H22A in a 93 Honda Prelude Si w/ H23 Transmission... What ECU do I use?

Pretty much exactly what the topic says..

I'm running my P14 ECU right now which is torture, but the only ECU I had was a Automatic 4WS Prelude ECU and my car wouldn't run/ran horrible with that. Would I just use a JDM P13 5-Speed or is there a better option? Thanks

Yes, use a P13.

I'm just running stock. Could a p28 work stock or would it run horrible?

Stock P28 would not work with an H22. If you're not going to be tuning with this ecu, just use the P13.

Thanks for your help. Last questions... Where would you suggest getting a P13 and what is a good price to pay for one?

You could look in the honda-tech classifieds or possibly fleabay, but if you are going to buy an ECU I'd get a chipped P28. An unmodified P28 will not work well, but one chipped with a H22 ROM would run about the same as a P13, it would give you the option of further tuning later on without buying another ECU, and you could ditch all the EGR crap and not get a check engine light.

It so happens that I have what you need if you're interested...

Oh, you have a manual transmission right?

That does sound interesting, but I think I'd rather go with the P13. What price are you looking to get for it just out of curiosity?

Will a chipped P28 be able to control the IAB's?

Just get a usdm P13, runs it the way the factory wanted, and no speed limiter like the jdm ecu!
