Re: ecu swap (darkshadowcivic)

Why would you want to do that? What would the result be. I can't imagine it would help anything. I have heard of the reverse being done (not a honda). Sorry just wondering. I'm not of any help, sorry.

Re: ecu swap (darkshadowcivic)

i think the fuel curve or something to do with vtec engagement on auto ecu's is different from 5-speed

Also I think the rev-limit is different for an automatic..

But yes, you can convert a auto ecu to a 5-speed but most of the time people that do this are also running a different program so if you want to do this I would convert it to 5-speed and get it chipped and run a 5-speed p28 program..
