yup i’ve read this thread already. i think i might just have to mess with my button end. i really didn’t want to take the motor out my car but it’s worth doing it the tried and true way

Nope. You have added 11% more displacement and the computer has no idea that you installed a B20 shortblock under the GSR head. Could you crank it up and let the engine idle with a GSR ECU... sure. Should you do any WOT pulls with the GSR ECU plugged in... the engine will be really lean, so proceed at your own risk.

If you are getting tuned on Hondata, why are you asking about using a stock ECU ?
