so im about to swap a 2000 gsr motor in my 99 hatch. the only thing is i want it to be bar legal. a friend of mine told me the ecu for this car wont work because of a chip in the ecu that runs to the key? so **** like that. so he told me to put a 99-00 si ecu in the car. the only problem with that is it wont pass bar. anyone with the same problem or know a solution to make a 2000 gsr motor with ecu into a 99 ek? thanks in advance.

 

IVE HEARD THERES A WAY TO BYPASS THAT ANTI THEFT FEATURE ON THE GSR ECU.............. THE 2000 SI ECU DOESNT USE THAT SENSOR THAT GSR MANIFOLDS NEED FOR THE BUTTERFLIES

read this before you post again. https://honda-tech.com/zerohelp?topic=tos
I don't know much about barring a car but I have heard that there is a way to remove the key problem on the ecu. I don't think the "jdm" ecu has that feature.

 

well the only thing i could think of is get a jdm ecu

 

wont having a jdm ecu make you fail the bar test. take this with a grain of salt i dont have to bar in va.

 

A JDM ECU will work just fine, but will also fail US emissions regulations so no bar.

Only 2000-2001 GSR ECUs have an immobilizer so find a 99 USDM P72 and you should be fine. Don't run a stock ECU designed for 1.6 liters on a 1.8 engine, you'll be running lean.

 

yea some people put usdm gsr ecus in their car and pass fine but i dont know how to bypass the security feature on the ecu.

if i put the si ecu in there or the jdm one, it wont pass bar. damn....

you have to get the 2000 gsr ecu de-immobilize so your car can start. that's what i did

 

can't u just use the 99 gsr ecu?

You have a CEL though, correct? I've heard that it's possible to physically remove the feature from the ECU casing, but the ECU will then throw a code and that can't be avoided.

CEL = fail bar

 

yea I need to pass bar. Thanks guys. I'm thinking the only way I can pass bar is getting a 99 GSr ecu. Damn.
