    Hey,
    I'm currently swapping a jdm gsr/5speed in a 97 automatic ex civic coupe. I need helping choosing the best/easiest harness/ecu. I already have the motor dropped in the car just need to know what to use!!

    thanks !!

    isnt it weird how people jump into a swap not knowing what they are doing or what parts to even use? not just you man, props for doing the swap, but ive seen alot of people on here lately attempting swaps that they have no idea how/what is going on

    add to this p72 if you're trying to just plug and play w/o tuning the car or a socketed/chipped p28 to be able to tune and get the most out of it.
