Default Jdm d15b vtec in a 2005 vtec civic manual ex coup California

Big time fan of reading the forums it’s my first time posting. I had a d17a2 and the engine blew my brother gifted me an engine but he got me a Jdm d15b vtec automatic off eBay. The engine is installed now trying to figure out how to start it and complete it

1 I have to make it to pass smog in California so I know I gotta keep the stuff off the d17
2 the ecu I have is a 37820-PLR-A13 ECU

anybody got any tips or can point me in the right direction I’d appreciate it

It will not pass no exceptions. You will only pass with another d17a2.
