what is a "PR6" or did you mean a "PM6?" it could be that your old ecu was bad. have you tried swapping in another PM6 into your car?

i think he means po6. the pr4 has a Ls map which would run better than the stock po6. Im assuming your converted to obd1? if not then you mean PM6 which would run like **** on a b7 cause its obd1 and the ecu is obd0. we need more info to help you out.

But you would need some harness work to swap that GSR in unless u run single harness and vtec sub with a jumper to obd1

NOT TRUE!!!!!!
i have a D15b7 in my crx and im using a PM6 ecu. runs like it should. passed smog and everything.
i used the OBD0 distributor and OBD0 ecu.

If you tried to start an engine with converted obd1 plugs at the distributor plugs and using a OBD0 ecu. it just would not start.
