    Default Honda swap gurus

    I got a 93 ej1 vtec that I'm going to put a 2001 GSR motor my quetion is what ecu should I use?The one that came from the 2001 has the immobolizer feature,so I was thinking I could use an obd1 p72 or get my p28 chipped.

    chipped p28 much cheaper and you'd get to play with fuel maps and your vtec setting.

    Trade you the '01 GS-R and $2k cash for a B18C5 I purchased new, now with 50k miles on it...will even throw in a brand new never installed JDM HONDA ITR valve cover

    I just want my car back to 100% stock!

    well if you go p28 you dont have to wire shit, except re pin a dizzy, since its obd2.... you can turn all that jazz off.. but if you use a stock p72 you need to do what I stated.

    Everything that I've read says that the obd1 p72 works with out modyfing to many wires.But you do this for a living so your have more experience than me.If I run into a problem that I can't figure out I'll bring it by the shop...if thats okay
