Will this ECU work??????
Let me start by saying I've been going about this completely HMT style........DIY. 
I've been able to find answers to 98% of my questions, most of the questions on managment have been answered here and at PGMFI, but I haven't found this answer.
I did find out that this 0bd1 ECU can be chipped but I am not sure if it will run my engine. I have a ZC in a 90' CRX and the ECU I found in the junkyard is in a 94' Accord. The engine is not in it but the sticker on the hood said "D family". Now here's the dilemma, almost all the ECU's were missing from various honda's except for this Accord which led me to believe it must not be worth pulling since nobody touched it. I pulled it anyway (just in case the car just arrived and hadn't been touch yet) and I hide it. I don't want to pay for something I'm not going to use. I'll go back and buy it if it's worth it.
Somebody please let me know if that ECU will run my ZC once I add the T3 turbo setup, and if you don't feel like talking.....point me in the right direction, I got no problems reading up on anything.
BTW I do have the connections for the 0bd0>0bd1 conversion.

No it sucks but they don't work..In a hardware sense you could chip an accord ecu. On pgmfi Ive had a few people tell me that a pt3 would be easier then some of the others to that are commonly used. But the code pt3 code was never developed for some reason. so the software crome or uberdata doesn't understand what the ---- a pt3 is saying.
get a p06 or if you have to a p28 I think even a p72 would work. the p28 would be good to have because if you ever decided to get all crazy and swap an h22 head onto the f22 block you would already be able to run vtec.

I'll try to avoid the p28 (leave it for someone who has vtec) but I'm sure gonna shoot for an P06/05. Thanks for the info fella's I got some reading and clicking to do.
