My friend has a 94 Accord LX Coupe. He recently swapped in the 2.2vtec from a 97 Accord. He has the car running but the car doesnt pass 5000rpm. He told me its because he needs the computer from a 96 Vtec Accord. Is this true? Also, he told me he is having a very hard time of finding a computer from a 96 Accord vtec 5 spd. IS there another computer he could use that will make his car run properly like maybe a Prelude SRV or GSR? Someone told me to get a Civic SI Vtec computer and give it to ECU Tuning or a shop like that and have it reprogramed and it will do the job plus rev all the way to 9000rpm. What is the best solution?

 

Uhh I dont think those ecus would work much better than the one he currently has..just try and find an f22b1 ecu.

 

yeah, plus ur running an OBD-1 computer on an OBD-2 engine... get a 96 vtec ecu and youll be fine... or basically just find a computer from an obd-2 accord with a vtec 4 cyl engine and youll be fine. that or you could find a vtec obd-1 computer from an accord and convert your engine to obd-1.

 

So I can get a Ecu from a 98 Accord or 2000 Accord as long as they are 4 cyl vtec.?

 

You'll be better off getting an ECU from the same generation and OBD-II. So get an f22b1 ecu from a 96 or 97 accord. The 98+ accord have F23's so I doubt those ECUs would work.
