ANY info, links, etc on this would be a great help for my swap project. Even a link to a site where I can buy a Japanese Euro ATR helms manual and find someone to translate Japanese would be better than nothing. PM me and/or leave details on this thread. Thanks in advance > this should be a archived post if it ever gets answered.

Why would you even bother using a euro-r ecu? It has Electronc power steering and likely will cause you to blow codes all day long

 

Why do I want to use the ECU that matches the engine and is OBD2. Probably because the maps stored in that ecu are designed to work with the engine better than any other one. I don't see how PS will be an issue, electric or not. Don't want to do OBD1, Hondata, etc. Want something that doesn't require me to due much tuning at all to make it run right (especially considering the ignition maps in this ECU are optimal).

Please offer ANY HELP on this as I need to get moving on this project. Only wiring problem that needs to be addressed is the 3 wire IACV on the Euro R which I am aware of and not worried about it.

 

I would hardly call the Euro-R ecu optimal...good tuning with an aftermarket system would show more gains...

do you even have the ecu in your hands to know what the plugs look like? how do you know it's OBD2a? Is it an accord ecu plug setup?

I think you are wasting your time...and the 118mph speed limiter will annoy you, plus any other unknown junk that the ecu is doing...like traction control for instance (no idea if it does)
