I don't know much about tuning although ive done my fair share of work on Accords and Civics from '93-'99...

My question is about this:
I have an ECU out of an '98 Acura Integra Type-R. I put it in my '96 Civic EX and it made it run like a scalded ape! The person I got it from said they used to run the Type-R on a drag strip.
What I'm wanting to do is put this bad boy in my '95 Accord EX...


How can I acheive this goal? I know I will need some sort of adapter...

Thanks for the help!!!

 

If it did work you would have to upgrade your accord to OBDII, the F series isnt related to the B series like the D series is one of those differences is the F series is almost half a liter bigger than the B, not .2 liter meaning uses diffrent amounts of fuel, they have completely different base maps and doesnt that year type R ecu have a immobilizer

youll be better off getting a tune-able ecu and starting from there since your already obd I

 

F series is not a B series like wolfy said. The motor and transmission gearing have a lot more to do with acceleration than the ECU does......You also have a OBDII ECU (not tunable without a piggy back or solid reflash) and an OBDI Accord, which won't work.

If you actually want to speed the Accord up - H23 or H22 transmission.

Short of modifying the motor yourself that's the only way you'll gain acceleration. Then after doing some mods get a chipped P28 and have the vehicle properly tuned.

*edit* I also have doubts on putting the ITR ECU on your Civic did much of anything but a placebo affect and dump unncessary fuel through the injectors.

 

All I know is that it made my Civic that only had intake and exaust, a JDM D15B, and that ECU do 147MPH before I let off on about a 2 mile strip of road. When the Vtec kicked in it felt like a shot of NOS...

 

I don't buy it. Wrong ECU = wrong basemap
Wrong basemap = wrong a/f mix and subsequently poor performance.

 

Why are you driving 147 mph on a public road?????? Go to a track if you have a death wish, don't put others at risk!

The VTEC engagement is much later on a P73 and that's why you felt the increase in acceleration at engagement.

 

I'm just sayin'...the thread wasn't intended to make believers pickle...it was to find out if the swap was good for my accord...appearantly it isn't...Thanks Wolfy and MuffinMan


I live in the woods...back roads...stuff like that...
