Ok heres whats going on. I recently swapped a 2001 GSR engine into a 2000 civic. The problem is when i use the EX ecu it starts, but when i use the GSR ecu it doesnt. I was told by hasports that it was because the 2001 GSR has the imobilizer system on it. Im using a wire harness from a 99 or 00 civic SI. Could it be possible for me to just use like a 96-99 GSR ecu? Ive been told by some i can and by some i cant...

 

Unfortunately, I don't think a 96-99 GSR ECU will fit your chassis harness... If you find out otherwise let me know, I have a 98 GSR ECU.

 

you know anyone that might know if it will fit?

 

2000-2001 GSR, which have immobilizers.

 

Well i got an email back from the guy at lowcashracing.com and he said it would $215 to have the imobilizer taken off This has really turned into the swap from hell, it sucks.

 

well some guy was telling me that the earlier 96-99 GSR ecus should hook right up to my 99-00 engine harness or what not. How much would you be willing to let your 98 ecu go for?
