i have a 97 civic coupe with a b16a swap. what stock ecu can i use to have it run and drive. i need to pass NYS inspection with no check engine light. i plan on having one ecu for passing inspection and a obd1 ecu that is chipped for after inspection.

 

is the usdm p30 the only option? i have a b16a2 block and tranny with a b16a head.

 

p2t?

 

has to be obd2a isnt the p2t the 99-00 civic si? obd2b

 

P2T with a conversion harness, P30, or P72. Will need to do the CKF bypass trick and have a working second O2 sensor.

why does it have to be obd2a?

 

I thought it had to be obd2a because it's a 97 and when they plug in for inspection it needs to match. if I can use obd2b would I just need a jumper?

 

YES

 

are you sure I can pass inspection with an obd2b on an obd2a car not trying to question your knowledge but I'm about to buy an ecu

 

You haven't given me any documents stating whats needed in your 'county', I don't even know where you live. /thread

 

I live in NYS I'll find the requirements for inspection and drop the link
