Hey I have a 98 gsr, I was wondering if a 98 type R ecu will fit without CEL or anything else going wrong. Is it a good upgrade? Should I?

 

why dont you just chip your GSR ECU? or go OBD-1?

I have the type r ecu sitting here, it's just sitting...nothing to do with it.

oh i did not know that; my bad

the itr ecu wont open up the first stage of vtec. might be just a waste unless you plan on getting a new mani

Yeah secondaries. ITR have different mani design.

 

Hmm, ok.

it won't send the signal for the secondaries as in the p72 ecu.....

first part of vtec eh???

 

Type r ECU wont open the GSR secondary runners on the IM, not the first stage of vtec..

 

Well I am sure if you have the R ecu sitting you can find someone that would either buy it or trade for a OBD1 ecu... I would say reprogram your stock, try getting some money out of the R ecu.

is this good or bad? should i still put the type r ecu or not. My 98 teg is just a beater and to drive ppl around it a 4 door gsr. Just since i have a type r ecu setting around. It came with the motor b18c5 which is sitting around too. since the motor's not going in a car I have the ecu to play with, that's y I can't sell the ecu for a obd1... Just trying to understand if put the ITR ecu is GOOD or BAD...

 

It will not help you if your car is stock in fact it will hurt performance because like the others have said the P-73 will not open the secondary intake runners. However if you change your intake manifold then it would work. Not that you would see much difference other than a higher redline which is not advisable with a stock valvetrain.

Cool thanks man finally a simple answer...

 

Do you still have the P73 ECU and if so can you post or send me pics. I just bought one and its not what I thought as far as the pin locations.
