Assuming you have the same obd, the type r ecu will run the car, plug and play. I've done it, but I also changed odb1 to OBD2a.
It won't run particularly well as you won't have the cam/flow etc characteristics the ecu is designed to work with. I felt (NOT dyno checked) that I had more mid range power and about the same top end with the stock ecu compared to the type r ecu.

Then I changed cams and exhaust, and I need a vafc with the type r ecu to keep it running well.
Remember, its all part of a package designed to work together.

I dont understand the question.
What are you trying to do?
If you are thinking of connecting the R ecu to your B18C then don't bother, they are completely different setups, particularly in the intake manifold design.

[OMG.JAI xD]

Your secondary butterflies wont open.

DC2r ecus arent program to open the butterflies in the intake manifold that vtirs have.


If you want. change to a skunk2 manifold, get itr cams, then get the ecu.
But you wont be making the same power as a dc2r. The bottom end is still different.


Spend money on an aftermarket ecu.
Youll make more power with less mods.
