quick ecu question
 

ok so i was just wonderin, when i buy an OBD1 ECU, does it have to be from a non-vtec since my car is a dx and is a non-vtec?

Re: quick ecu question
 

it depends, if your buying a socketed one you could go either way and just disable vtec with the chip. I would only do that if your planing to do a vtec head or something along them lines. If your just going to slap a stocker in, the vtec ecu will always have a CEL on a non vtec motor

yeah i was thinkin the same thing, i just found out you could disable it right now. thats coo, cuz it leaves the option of an easy swap later. but how would the CEL affect the driving?

Re: quick ecu question
 

it wouldn't if it was just the vtec cel and you're car was non vtec.

ok so i just picked up a PM5 from a junkyard. it was from an 88-91 civic. this is OBD0 right? if yea, does anyone know where i can get a OBD2->OBD0 conversion harness?

or are you not able to chip an OBD0?

Re: quick ecu question
 

PM5 is a none chippable OBD0 ECU

Do not buy an OBD0 ecu for your setup if you are OBD2 or OBD1 already...

^ yea i already realized that. but hey i can always take it back and have $30 to spend at the junkyard.
