B18cr ecu into a em1?

[99em1]

Hey guys as I have mention I've now have a b18cr in my 99 em1. The only thing is that I'm still running the b16a2 ecu and was woundering if it's possible to run the b18cr ecu?
If so how and what do I need? Thanks

you need a P73 OBDIIa ECU ( I have one if yo need one ) and an OBDIIb to OBDIIa Convertion Harness

Yea I've got the ecu, I guess I'll look around for the harness then. I went to a performance Work Shop and they told me it couldn't be done. I guess they just didn't want to waste there time. thanks mate

Not necessarily. They could be right as the immoboliser in the P73 would prevent the car from starting.

the immobiliser in the P73 can be bypassed

Yea, which is what i meant to say. The shop probably had no idea about this, so lazily said no.

send your ecu to ECU man and he can sort it out for you

I modifed an EJ8 vti manual engine harness which worked a treat as it plugs and plays

few minor tweaks but it does work
