i'm looking to do a tranny swap from auto to manual on my civic ex, and i believe i'll need a new ecu from a car that has a manual. i went looking on ebay and found http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...category=33597 and i was wondering if it would work. it's so cheap so i'm cautious about it. just doesn't seem like it should be that cheap. so can i get that one, or should i stick with an oem ecu from a salvage yard or something? thanks.

 

I don't think a 5sp EEPROM is going to work with an auto ECM. The auto ones have extra "thingies"

 

In addition to those black thingies, the autos sometimes have different capacitors around the EEPROM.

 

but imma change from auto to manual, so wouldn't i want one from a manual anyway?

 

hahaha thats my buddy adams company

he lives a couple blocks from me he chipp'd mine matter of fact i have his old gsr p72 in my car right now

 

i would call and talk to him in person he can go in to detail what can be done to get it work right

 

well, i emailed him (mentioned you too) so we'll see how it goes. thanks for telling me you know him, that gives me a little more piece of mind that he might know what he's doing. :thumbup:
