i tryed search but no luck!ok i just bought a 98 ex long block with 30 k miles on it and all it came with was the head and block! im gonna use all my other dx parts! but my question is what ECU do i need and am i gonna need a diff wireing harness? or will i need anything else?thanks deo

 

someone anyone plz!

 

are you going to use the D16Y8 vtec head??

You won't need another harness, just wire up vtec and knock sensor(I believe the Y8 had a knock sensor)

Ah, you're swapping in the long block. Yes, everything will plug and play, you can run without vtec hooked up, you'll be throwing a code. I'm not sure of the OBD2 SOHC vtec ecu off hand...

ok sweet thanks!yah i just got the long block!one more question it didnt come with the Vtec soilond bout how much do those run?thanks

 

up up and up we go!

 

bump

 

there are a few subtle variations between the dx and ex
I believe the 96-98 are obd2 and the 99 and 00 are obd2.5
u should be able to just run your vtec wiring into the new ecu and add a few things like evap canister w/ plug etc

 

yep, get a EX ECU, same year as your car. 96-98 uses connectors A,B,D and 99-00 uses A,B,C. The only difference should be your harness is missing the 2 plugs for the VTEC unit.

 

ok cool thanks for the help!

 

Get an ex ecu!!! We have been telling you this stuff for a while now. What are you going to do about the APC coilovers and all of your suspension bushing you messed up by having your car soooo low. Not being a dick or anything I am just asking a question. How much did u get the motor for?

They were Sprint springs, I am NOT trying to be a dick, Its your car, I dont care what you do with it, and I DONT care if it is JDM or not as long as it works well than I am all for it. How many ex ecu's did you think there was in 98?

Alright dude. I was honestly just trying to help you out.

 

I have the ECU you need, its a P2P, I'll sell it for 100$.

Also a vtec solenoid is like 200$ from honda I think, and you can probably find one online for 50$

 

thanks but ive got a deal on a ecu!thanks for the info on the Solenoid
