You can but it will be looking for vtec and it won't be there...An OBD1 P75 would be the best bet if you are against getting a socketed ecu, and getting it tuned/burn a chip for your application. Good luck!

apearently the P75 ecu is a little rich for the B18b so its only a touch lean on the B20. I wouldn't risk it though a chip kit with basemap from an online retailer is less than 50$ and if its a mostly stock motor they can probably get the basemap closer than the P75 would be stock.

if your obd-0 use a pr4, if you are obd-1 use a pr4 or p75 whatever comes easiest to you. if you are getting a p28 cheap get it save it till you go vtec or sell it/trade it for said ecus with money on their side. treat it like a bored over b18a/b your splitting hairs otherwise

cmon now people, this aint' that complicated. Get the P28 chipped and have a B20 bin loaded. 72 bucks through xenocron and your done.

that way you have the P28 if you ever have the need for the vtec capability, but it'll operate a b20 just fine with the right bin loaded.

From what I have seen, the P75 seems to be a better tune than the stock crv program.

I'm having the same issue, B20b running a PR4, it takes forever for my check engine light to turn off and allow the fuel pump to prime, at first I thought it was my PGMFI relay but I plugged in an old D15 ECU and it cranks instantly, just runs like ****

I would use the P3F ECU if you can... the intake manifolds are quite different, but it may work fairly well. If not, the next best stock ECU would be a P74/75. The P14 is totally wrong... and there would be codes. Ideally, you would use an OBD-1 style ECU with a tuning solution.

I wish I could go back in time and mod these forums. There is nowhere on the internet that more misinformation and idiots spewing out things that make no sense. A P75 is too rich for the engine that it was made for? It is literally an ECU from an LS... Any response that says "I heard" should be immediately deleted.

Glad you aren't a MOD. Your very first post isn't helpful at all... you only tried to **** on somebody and mock the forum. Since this is "the worst forum for misinformation on the internet" according to you... move on to a better one.

Me thinks thou art a Troll. Thanks for nothing... rookie.
