You can use an obd1 usdm or jdm p30 ecu.
You can also use a obd1 chipped vtec ecu & save your self money on the p30

 

as for where to find one... check ^^^his sig.

 

is the b16 obd0?if so u got 2 choices

1.u can convert to obd1 and use a chipped p28

2.use a pwo/pr3

 

well im swaping everything out of my 90 integra b16 which is obd0 into a 93 civic which is obd1...can i use a harness conversion like this? http://www.phearable.net/shopp....html

 

if I'm not mistaken that link is the other way (running an OBD1 ECU in an OBD0 car. different since the chassis harness is being used.
contact mtber and see what he can do for you, he'll be able to get you working.

If not, it might be the easiest to simply drop an OBD1 distributor, injectors and what ever other sensors on your OBD0 engine and use your stock harness.

 

yeah i might have too because its hard to find an ecu

 

I slipped an edit in there on you... sorry.
contact mtber, he knows his stuff in and out.

the ECU is easy to find, as long as you don't need an USDM version. the JDM P30s are easy to find. Chipped P28s are even easier.

jdm p30 throw a traction control cel,and to be chipped they need more work considering there need surface mounted parts.IMO i would convert to obd1 all will need is a obd1 ecu (p28) odb1 dizzy and a jumper harness,if u would like to stay obd0 i would be on the hunt for a pw0 and chip that.well if u got most the stuff from a 93 civic all u should need is a ecu jumper harness.

*sigh* this sort of thing is why I stop posting on HT after a while... not all JDM P30s throw traction control CELs, in fact very few do. I have no idea why people think it happens alot.
I have three P30s personally and have worked on many more (&gt;20) with only one throwing that CEL. And after rebuilding the bin in the chip it was gone. (happened on one of my own P30s when I first got it, it hasn't happened since)

the surface mount part ECUs are not more work, it's simply more accurate work.

again contact mtber he should know what you need and will be able to hook you up with it.

Thankfully honda-tech still has a couple of helpful people like your self left on the boards to give some educated information out.

Btw, I greatly appreciate you sending him my way!

i didnt mean to make it sound like all of them have that code.only p30s that came with the lsd from honda.theres other p30s that didnt have that code becuase it never had a lsd to start with.so no of course it wont show up.i should have been more clear with my post that my fault.
