Not only will that ECU not have the VTEC activation point or VTEC fuel maps (you'll be stuck on the small cam the whole time), it will probably hit a revlimiter at least 1000-1500 rpm before the B16A is ready. I don't believe it will damage the engine in anyway, but it will handicap it to such a point, the whole swap was probably pointless.
Can I use my ECU and just run the vtec wire?? Or that wouldnt work either?
