Default New to the CRX B16a swaped honda!!! A few questions!!

I bought the car and w/ it came alot of good stuff. I asked him what ECU was in there and he said a stock CRX si ECU. Now is it possible to run a B16a w/ that ecu? He said that the VTEC does not work so i bought a controller.

I bougt a Spoon vtec controller off of ebay and i wanted to know if it would be able to plugg in and are these any good?

Any help is much appriciated!!!!!

THANKS

Using a VTEC controller with a stock SI ECU on a B16A definitely falls under the category of 'halfassing it'. Like the other guy said, get a PR3 or PW0.

maybe you got raped on that "spoon" vtec controller.
you paid extra $ for their name
and you have to get pr3 or pw0 in order for vtec to work.
