JDM CTR OBD2A ECU into EM1 OBD2B - any gains? **UPDATED**

[IV73CI]

Hi Folks,

Just wanting to know if there are any gains in using a JDM CTR EK9 OBD2A ECU into an B16A EM1 OBD2B??

EM1 Specs;
DC Sports 4-1 2.5inch collector zorst - twin loops
Weapon R Short Ram intake
SARD FPR @ 40psi
Walhbro FP
EK9 LSD Gbox

CTR Cams / valve springs/retainers (coming soon)

Are there any gains/losses in power/torque etc?

Will i have any issues with current immobiliser? as the JDM CTR apparently do not have immobiliser... (unsure).

also i am already aware that a OBD2B to OBD2A conversion harness is required (Rywire or similar).

EDIT: dont really want to buy an tunable ECU as i have plans in a K-series transplant down the line. - CTR ECU was from an old B-series project which has been sitting in my boot collecting dust.

Can someone shed some light?

thanks

PICS UPLOAD!!

Better off getting a tunable ecu like crome or hondata

ikr - but i have plans in a K-series transplant down the line....hence why i dont want to buy a hondata or similar as yet.

this CTR ECU has been in my boot from a B-series project i had yonkers ago ...so why not use it? lol

CTR ECU would be OBDIIb

as mentioned above, get a S300 or something similar

Was just waiting for you to come on! LOL

as mentioned above, get a S300 or something similar

should of posted a pic of the ECU, the label on the ECU says 37xxxx-PCT-xxxx ?

one day i tried plugging in the ECU to my existing plugs and no go, ...so thats why i assumed its a 96-98 JDM CTR ECU - OBD2A ..

yes S300 would be ideal - but if im going K-series down the line then it would be pointless to have now, where i would have to buy a K-Flash pro moving forward.

still no one has advised whether is this proposed temp plan will work or not, gains/losses but got responses to use other ecu (which i am already aware of the options) :)

thanks guys ...any more thoughts?

[ECU-MAN]

if its the PCT ECU then its OBDIIb

your EM1 is OBDIIb

so the ECU should be a direct plug in

[IV73CI]

your EM1 is OBDIIb

so the ECU should be a direct plug in

thats what i thought ...but when i tried to plug it in ...it didnt fit.

ill take some pics and upload it .. then we can go from there.

Will update you guys!

PICS UPLOADED!!

This is the JDM CTR OBD2A ECU ...am i right?

so back to the main questions.... any gains/losses in fitting this ECU to an EM1?

[ECU-MAN]

Ahh

CTR ECU is P2T

PCT ECU is from EK4

that ECU is OBDIIa

[IV73CI]

I dunno bro according to this P2T is from civic Si 99-00 (em1) and PCT is 98+ civic JDM ITR....

The middle three characters are the most useful to identify what the ECU is. Different generation ECUs may use the same characters. e.g. a P72 OBD I ECU is different from a P72 OBD II ECU. Here is a list of common ECUs:
PG6 : 88-89 Integra (all makes)
PM5 : 88-91 Civic/CRX DX
PM6 : 88-91 Civic/CRX SOHC Si
PM7 : 89-91 DOHC ZC (JDM 'EF' ECU)
PM8 : 88-91 CRX HF
PR2 : 89-91 ZC (Euro)
PR3 : 89-91 JDM B16A EF8/9
PR3 -J00 or J51 : 92 JDM Integra B16A EF8/9
PW0 : 89-91 JDM B16A EF8/9 DA6-XSi
PR4 : 90-91 Integra LS/GS
PS9 : 88-91 4 door Civic EX Auto
P05 : 92-95 OBD-1 Civic CX
P06 : 92-95 OBD-1 Civic DX
P07 : 92-95 OBD-1 Civic VX
P08 : 92-95 OBD-1 Civic D15 JDM
P0A : 94-95 OBD-1 Accord EX
P13 : 93-95 OBD-1 Prelude Vtec
P14 : 93-95 OBD-1 Prelude Si (non Vtec)
P27 : 92-95 OBD-1 EG JDM Civic 1600 sohc
P28 : 92-95 OBD-1 Civic Si/Ex
P30 : 92-95 OBD-1 DelSol DOHC Vtec Si/EG SiR
P54-G31 : 1997 Honda Accord 1.8 LS
P61 : 92-93 OBD-1 Integra GSR
P72 : 94-95 OBD-1 Integra GSR
P72 : 96-00 OBD-2 Integra GSR
P73 : 96-00 OBD-2 Integra Type-R (JDM & USDM)
P74/75: 92-95 OBD-1 Integra LS/GS
P75 : 96-00 OBD-2 Integra LS/GS
P2N : 96+ OBD-2 Civic HX Coupe
P2P : 96+ OBD-2 Civic EX Coupe
P2E : 96+ OBD-2 Civic DX Coupe
P2M : 96+ OBD-2 NZ Civic SOHC VTEC
P2T : 99+ OBD-2b Civic Si Coupe
P5P : 97-00 OBD-2 Prelude Type-S (JDM ECU)
PBA : 97+ US Acura 1.6EL
PCT : 98+ JDM ITR / CTR
PCX : 99+ OBD-? S2000

Still the question is will it work on an EM1 any gains/losses??

[dorikin]

EK4 uses a P2T ECU (OBD2a)

PCT ECU is from an EK9 Civic Type-R and there would be 2 versions. One for pre-facelift 97-98 (OBD2a) and one for facelift 99-00 (OBD2b)


Unless you already had the conversion harness, wouldn't bother..

nah my loom / harness is OBD2B ...which means ill have to get a conversion harness.

sweet ...now we got that confirmed...

will there be any gains/losses using this CTR OBD2A ecu? apart from a conversion harness plug but power changes?

[IV73CI]

Do we have any1 dat has done diz swap b4??

[IV73CI]

anyone?? LOL

all good ..decided to go for an Apexi PFC ...so the JDM CTR PCT ODB2A will be on sale !! whoopp!!

Pls close!
