THere is a resistor inside the ecu that you have to remove to take away the automatic function. I don't remember what the location. I will find it for u later.

I hope this help. I done it before, it works fine.

http://pgmfi.preludenation.com....html

Most Auto Ecus have a jumper at RP11 and have a blank space at RP12. Move RP11 to RP12 and you now have a Manual ECU. Here a closeup of the JDM Jumper configuration: Auto Jumpers


R96, C49 and R82 seem to be related to some Auto trans controls but can be left in place.

Some ECUs (Like the JDM P13-900) have resistors in both places. You can just remove both of them and replace RP12 with a jumper wire.

This applies to all ECUs that share the same board (P11, P12, P13, P14 and P39)

It is either a jump wire or a resister that you have to remove by soldering iron. Then when you place it into the new location, U have to solder it on. Make should the solder is nice and shinny because it can cause intermittent connection if it has poor solder. I think U can go to http://www.hondata.com and find a picture of USDM and JDM ecu comparison side by side.

Man I wish I was in this guys shoes...:-)

I cannot find a p13 auto ecu to save my life...where are they all? they should be everywhere based on the number on automatic swaps imported...and I know most of them are going to be used as 5 speeds. Is there away to convert the p13 manual ecu to a automatic? or is there a different ecu that is compatible for the swap into my 92 accord?
I am a B-Series/D series guy, just getting into the H22 stuff, some of it is making me dizzy :-( thanks for the help fellas. Oh and if anyone has a p13 auto ecu, hit me up via PM, I will buy or trade for fab/machine work.

The P28/30/72 series will run a prelude just fine, and there is a lot more support for them. I'd suggest switching the ecu out.

I'de love to run a p28 but I heard they will not "sync" with the automatic transmission computer? Can anyone confirm or deny?

You can convert a P06 auto into a P28 and voila.

Holy **** Marco, I know it was 4-20 and all, but you were responding to a post from over a decade ago.
