gsr ecu kicks in the secondaries, while the si ecu wont.

vtec crossover would be different also. i believe the b16 switches over at 5400, while the b18c's do it at 4500.

get the gsr. you want the secondaries to kick in.

You sure about this?

I thought the secondaries were vacuum controlled, not ECU controlled.

at least on my lude swap there were no wires running to my secondaries just the vacuum lines.

yes they are wired up to the ecu

Secondary Intake Solenoid Pink/Blue A17

What year is your car? I take it your swap is 2001 since you said that.

Now that I think about you are right, sorry.

No, I had a 95 H22, but I also was not using my secondaries. (had them removed).
