has anyone done this ???

 

LOL no ....
im doing a swap on a 93 civic ....and havent gotton past the part of the immobilizer just yet

 

So your swapping a k20a2 into your civ why would it matter if it still had the immobilizer

 

because i dont have the wiring from the column to the ecu ...unless i have to do it myself
i have the engine the ecu and the immobilizer unit ....just not sure how to get it all to work together just yet ...thats why im asking

 

I've heard that some alarm shops have a bypass you can install, they use it for the remote start feature....look into that.

 

Alarm shops bypassing the immobilizer, sound kind of counter productive, or even stupid. On second thought, really stupid. I thought they were supposed to make the cars safe from theft?

 

if you think an alarm will prevent your car from being stolen, i have some beach front property in NV to sell you

 

I know it won't, I have no faith in them. I have never used one and never will.

But the immobilizer keeps the theft rate low on the RSX. If an alarm shop bypasses it, and your car is stolen as a result, you can and should hold the alarm company accountable.

Wrong, If you request a service and it is performed as requested, you should be a big boy and accept the consequences.

 

All I can say is yes there is a hack to bypass it...that has been mentioned before in K20A motor swap stories, but it will hopefully not be published online in a thread. Ask the guys at P1 Automotive (B18CXR?), they might know.

Wrong, if a company represents their service as making your car safer and in the process makes it less safe, they are liable.

the by-pass method that works on the JDM K-series ECU will not work on the USDM models


FYI

 

very true ....but there is a way

 

immobilizing the immobilizer...

haha. this damn forum makes me want a k20a

 

LOL exactly

 

actually there is a way to do it.and its as easy as one wire cut. there a place in wi. that could tell you what wire. think hard and youll know who to call. hint unlimited

In context, the request was a way to bypass the immobilizer so a swap could be done into a 93 civic. If you walk into an Alarm shop and ask for the part required, or service performed to bypass the immoblizer and the car is subsequently stolen, the Alarm company shouldn't be blamed.

Now, if you ask for an alarm installation and the Alarm Company, ON THEIR OWN, disables the immobilizer, then I agree with you - they are responsible. (I have seen parts advertised that allow a remote start on a car with an immoblizer that doesn't completely disarm it - how that works, I have no idea.)

Thank you for the opportunity to clarify my position.

 

because im using the rsx ecu.....I-vtec needs to be controlled from that ?/

a P-28 wont do that

I wish i could zap it with a cattle prob and a simple matter of voltage

 

sorry to resurect this but all these idiots are talking about "why would we want to remove our immobilizer so our car can get stolen?"

NO dumbass this is for a swap into a car that has no immobilizer, and if someone wanted to they could possible unchip the IMMObilizer program on a RSX ecu...break into you car and plug that one up! and BYE BYE to your RSX

These threads are trying to find a way to remove them for swaps mainly.Just as we are unsure of what options we have with our 97 prelude ECU w/immobil. program that we are putting in a 97 accord.....we bought the ECU so it was plug and plan like any other swap

 

You may want to give Hondata a call, they should be able to help you.

It doesn't matter if you're swapping a K20 motor into another honda platform; RSX owners are not going to tell you how to bypass the immobilizer. Even if it is public knowledge already, why would us RSX owners want to add onto that? The more who know how to do it, the greater chance our cars will be stolen in the future. That's all there is to it.

Would it be easier just to cut a wire and steal a car or having to chip your own ECU and bring it with you so you can steal a car? That's exactly my point.

Personally i do not know how to do it, so there's no use in IM'ing me either. There will come a day when Type S' will be stolen just as much as the GSR. Hopefully that day will be far into the future *not likely*.

Edit: Touchy subjects like this will not be easily answered on an open public board. Even though everyone knows how to do it, just go over to the Type R forum and ask them the same question. See what they say to you.

YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT.

so you really as slow as everyone else....I am trying to finsih a swap on a damn accord where we purchased a 97 ECU....so your actually gonna waste your time saying that it ouwld save"your valuable RSX" from getting stolen when all i have to do is get the hondata one, and have it duplicated.....I just need to now how to unsoilder this ******* chip so my boys car doesn't have to sit for another 3 weeks and he spend more $$ on another ECU...

RSX and ITR owners are ecentric jerks...all iwant to do was finsih a swap

 

The poeple who disable the immobilizer do it for a price. It isn't as easy as cutting a wire. Some hardware needs to be modified.

The RSX is even harder, it requires a software solution.

You're probably going to either have to pay, or find a 96 ECU, which does not have an immobilizer.
