H23 vtec ecu question

[2000accordlx]

Hi im new here. I recently purchased a h23 vtec with an ecu. Being that the ecu came from an automatic and my car is a 5 speed i want to know wat my options are. I live in ny and emission rules a strict so i really want to keep the car obd2. ThanksT

I have the same motor..great motor!
But im obd1 and chipped. So i can get all the potential out of the engine!
Wish i could help but i went a different route.
Good luck on your travels siR!

The h23 has a separate ecu for the transmission. So I believe the there is no difference if the actual ecu came from a manual or auto. At least that's the way the h22 is, someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Look for an P13-A12 ecu (no immobilizer, rare ecu) or P5M ecu (immobilizer will require ecu reflash at stealership) and a OBD2b to OBD2a conversion harness and you'll stay obd2. GL and congrats on the swap motor has good low end torque.

I remember, but his h23 blue top was an auto swap with auto ecu.

I'd imagine you can use a OBD2 p13 ecu on it. Or switch to OBD1 and and put an OBD2 in each year right before inspection
