00 b18c5 into 96 hatch ecu questions

Hi,
I'm just finishing up my swap. I'm waiting for a chipped p28 so no check engine light. But I was told to use a jdm itr ecu which will work better, and not have the check engine light. Any truth to this? Any other recomendations? Thanks!

Either ecu will work great. The jdm itr ecu will plug right in without any kind of ecu jumper harness, which is nice.

So no check engine light from the emissions stuff?
Thanks!

I replied to you in the EG forum but. The JDm ECU will yank the fun @ 112-120 mph (And you will get there pretty quick). I was spanking a mustang on the highway when I found out the hardway and he thought he won.

If you don't care that the fun stops @ that speed then the ECu will work (I had to wire knock on my civic but its a 93 SI not sure how different the 96 DX's are?
