Default ECU Question - 98' Civic EX

This topic is posted for a friend. He has a 1998 Civic EX with a GSR motor that he purchased used from a guy from NOPI. The only problem is the guy before him kept the stock EX ECU. Is there any other ECU that he can get that is better than the stock GSR? The motor just has a cold air intake, and GReddy full cat-back exhuast. Any links to websites or pricing is greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time.

No.


The GSR has dual intake manifold.

Any other ecu won't open the secondary runner.

If he swaps to a single intake manifold like a Skunk2 or JG then get a 96-97 del Sol ecu or a 96-98 ITR ecu.

Even better, he can get a OBDII to OBDI ecu harness converter and run a reprogramed P28 (EX SOHC) ecu.
