would a stock ls ecu do anything if you put it in for a stock d16y7 motor? heard it makes a difference in power.

 

It will run a much more agressive fuel map, and you'll run rich.

Yes it does make a difference, im not going to type up the argument of why.
I have credible proof, PM me if you would like to see it.

 

Check engine lights, will run like ****, etc. etc.

Usually the IACV will toss out a code due to the different IACV type on an LS engind and a 96-00 Civic.

It also would run very rich causing "system too rich" codes as well.

Not a good idea.

 

so it would be a very bad idea to do it .. what can i do to make my d16y7 faster but quick ..

It would be a bad idea for OBD2 y7's. In an OBD1 car with a few things altered, thats a different story.

As for the y7, there are a few immediate things that would give it a little more go. Things like a lightened flywheel, EX tranny would make a very nice and noticible difference. You can also consider intakes/header/exhaust, but the fact is that its a singlecam, and the only way your going to get some power out of it is with forced induction.
