honda OEM ecus are not tuneable and are not self learning

with that in mind you cannot run a B18C properly, or even competently using a D16Y (Cxi) ECU.

That being said you NEED to change to the B18C ECU or an aftermarket ECU to run your engine property in the car. SInce you have the b18c already i'm presuming u have the ECU so use that for now.

As for the LOOM (aka the little wires that will piss u off) you will need to connect the B18C sensor wires from engine to ECU and then also from the interior of your car to teh B18C ecu.

By interior i mean things such as Tacho, speedo, etc etc etc etc etc etc (b prepared for a LOT of ETCs)

But dont go ripping out your existing loom out of ur dash just yet as there is a SLIM SLIM chance (actually prolly no chance but newaY) that it will be compatible with the B18C ECU...

If its not compatible however, you need to do a lot of wiring to make things work.
